Project Life

Project Life | I’m back + Week 30

Project Life by Paper Nerd // ninachristensen.dk

So, I’m starting Project Life again.

You know how sometimes you randomly come across a bunch of pictures and words and inspirational stuff that seems like a hint from the universe? Well, that’s how I’ve been feeling about Project Life lately. It’s a project I’ve been wanting to do ever since I first discovered it on Ali Edwards’ blog back when there was only one PL kit available. That’s changed now, huh.

With the recent CHA Create-n-Connect summer show I feel almost forced to give Project Life another go (I mean, Cut & Paste mini kit, could you be any cuter?). But how will I do it with minimal guilt and hassle? And maximum memory-keeping value?

Enter weekly Currently lists by Kristin Tweedale (view examples on Instagram | shop Currently products). If you’re not familiar with the Currently project you need to check it out.

Above is my list for week 30. And below is how I incorporated it into a minimal Project Life format. The supply list is at the bottom of the post.

Nina Christensen // Project Life week 30

Somehow, starting in the middle of the year I feel less pressure. Or maybe I’ve just failed enough projects by now that I don’t feel as nervous about taking on a project that I don’t know I will keep up. ;) This seems doable, though. A list and a photo per week. Some journaling if I feel like it, and a week numbers card. That’s it.

I also used: Project Life Core Kit Clementine Edition | Selphy CP800 photo printer | Sakura Micron 03 black pen

If you’re doing Project Life how do you approach it?

And could you start Project Life in the middle of a year, like I did?

      Thank you. :D It was kind of hard not to embellish a whole lot but I think I managed pretty well. Are you doing PL? Share a link to your blog if you wanna. :)

      Thanks Sasha. :) I need to check your album out. You got a link for it? By the way, your SC August layouts totally rock.

    Du vil ikke fortryde!! Det vigtigste jeg har lært ved at lave Project Life i halvandet år er at glæde sig over de minder som bliver dokumenteret og ikke stresse over om man er bagud. Tyve uger dokumenteret er bedre end ingen. Og om ti år hvem går så op i om det nu var i uge ti eller 23? Glæder mig til at se mere. Jeg er selv gået helt i stå med Scrap og har ikke lavet noget i en måned…!!

      Wow, det var længe. Du har nok trængt til en pause.

      Jeg er enig i at lidt er bedre end intet. Men håber håber HÅBER at jeg kan holde den her metode. Og ikke være nødt til at give op.

      Det er vildt flot at du har kørt på med projektet så længe. Sejt.

      I øvrigt, hvis du mangler et (ind)spark, kan vi måske udveksle idéer, materialer eller give hinanden en udfordring? Kunne være fedt. :)

      Thanks Eri! ^_^ Nothing like some white alpha stickers for a lovely, clean look.
