The start of Project Life.

For the past two years, I've compiled a digital collage of photos and a little journaling from every month to sum up our year. I thought for sure I'd go the monthly route again, and even sketched out ideas for the collage.

However, I wanted to take the basic concept and create something different for this year. So after some contemplation, I decided to give Project Life a go in 2012. The concept is the same - but instead of summing up our months, this is a weekly thing. I've decided to use two pages per week, with an insert here and there for big things like anniversaries, birthdays and vacations. I've decided to stick with my tried and true method of Photoshop, with a little twist- digital scrapbooking. I've been scrapping in Photoshop with digital products for about 6 months now and I'm pretty much addicted. Although I've been a traditional scrapbooker for years and years now, there is so much versatility when creating digital layouts. 

So here we are. This is the title page I created for the project:

I love the fact that I am using page protectors just like a traditional Project Life binder. I also love that I can utilize clipping masks for everything to make it easy to just drop things in and go.

A few days in, and I am just loving this project. 52 weeks are going to fly by.
