Scrapbooking Archives - Page 4 of 4

I know it’s been pretty quiet on the creative front here lately.

But I’ve been busy, so making stuff has kinda had to take a back seat. I’m slowly but surely falling behind on Project 52 (Can you believe that I almost forgot about making layouts?!). And Project Life is pretty much a never-ending project, if you know what I mean.

While I wouldn’t say that I’ve lost the mojo, I would say that I just haven’t been on top of things lately.

But it’s all good.

I’m taking my time to work through things, reminding myself to enjoy the process instead of stressing out and what not.

But here are some things that have inspired me of late and make me wish I could drop everything and just make stuff all day, every day instead (:

I SO need to try this color-blocking thing some time.

This reminds me that Project Life doesn’t have to be complicated because I’m totally digging this spread!

I’m going to get back into the swing of things pretty soon!
(I hope.)

How has your week been going? (:

Sometimes, the hardest part about scrapbooking is actually finding the time to do it.

So a couple of years back, in 2009, I embarked on a project to complete 52 projects in a year – one for every day of the week. It didn’t matter if I strictly did one layout a week, or if I made a couple within the week and added them to the number. And it was okay if I missed a week because I could always “catch up” at a later date. But regardless of what I did, whether a layout, mini album, or altered project, they had to be something to add to my stash of creative projects. I found that this was an amazing way to motivate myself to take some time out each week, amidst my busy schedule, to scrap. By setting aside 15 to 30 minutes a day to plan, design, and put a project together, I was able to complete a project by the end of the week. So I’ve been keeping that up this year, and it’s been going really well.

We’re currently into week 46, and I’m up to 50 projects!
