19 for 2019 update: week 8
Week of 18 February I’m enjoying doing these posts. It’s a nice way to end the week: to look back over what I’ve achieved (or haven’t), what I’ve learned and what I’ve done. And, of course, what progress I have made with my 19 for 2019 list. It ties...
Project Life – Looking Back (Part 2)
I wrote about at the first two releases of Project Life in my previous post – the original (“Cherry”) edition from 2010 and the Turquoise edition from 2011. (Someone on Facebook reminded me that there had been a previous release of a similar product that Becky Higgins had done...
Project Life – Looking Back (Part 1)
2014 was the 5th year I’d used the Project Life system to document my year in words and pictures. I thought I’d do a review of how the system has changed over this time and how I’m using it. The system has changed a lot since I started back...
Project Life – multiphoto page
I’ve often though about doing a full page photo in the divided page protectors because they can look stunning. Also it’s cheaper to print 6 4×6 photos than a 12×12 enlargement. (Welcome to Tightarse Tuesday, a new regular feature on this blog.) I finally decided to give it a...

Someone asked me today whether I’d finished my scrapbooking organiser. You remember, the one that ended up covered in white paint . . . Well yes. I’m pleased to say that the salvage operations were successful and I have a functional (not white) crafty organiser. Here’s the finished product....
project life – 2013 album
I’ve started getting my supplies together for my 2014 Project Life album at the same time as I’m finishing off my 2013 album. Last year my approach was digital/hybrid. This year I’m going back to a more paper-based album, but I’ll be sticking with the monthly approach that I’ve...
crafty fails
Today I was going to post a photo of my super new scrapbooking organiser that I was going to use for my Project Life supplies this year. I was going to have it all set up today, with all the cards neatly organised and it was going to look...
project life 2014
So around about this time every year I have these grand plans about how I’m going to keep my photos, memorabilia and memories for the year. This generally involves some kind of Project Life album. I start off with all guns blazing, I get very excited about new products,...
the cult of scrapbooking
I had a conversation with some Twitter friends last night, who mentioned that they thought scrapbooking was scary and that they couldn’t understand the “cult” of scrapbooking. This got me thinking about what scrapbooking really is, and why I do it. If you’d told me ten years ago that...
