Keep It Simple...

I don't know about you but I have been hearing a lot about "Project Life".  If you haven't heard about it check out here or search "Project Life" on Youtube. 

The basic concept of Project Life is keep it simple and document the everyday moments in your life.  Well, a light went off over my head when I saw the video.  I decidedthen that I was going to start to scrap some everyday moment and keep them simple.  I (like most paper crafters) don't need to buy any more paper, page protectors, stamps, or albums... I decided to just use what I had but Keep it Simple and Keep it Real. 

You will see in the coming weeks more scrapbook pages being posted by me.  Once I gave myself permission to keep it  simple (it  is okay if the scrapbook page isn't perfect) my creative flood gates opened wide.  I used to think that if my pages weren't over embellished, painstakingly planned and the paper perfectly matched to the picture then the page wasn't worthy. (No wonder I didn't produce many scrapbook pages - when most pages would take me 5-6 hours to complete)  Now I know it is more about capturing the moments...

How can you apply Project Life to your scrapbooking?  Leave a post and let me know how you are using Project Life...

The page shown here was completed in less than 30 minutes.  It shows a day at a  waterpark with my daughters. We had so much fun that day.  I used just a few embellishments from CTMH Footloose Dimensional Elements and stamps from the Footloose WOTG.  I cut the title, stars and tag using the Art Philosophy Cartridge.  The title was cut using the leftover "water" that was cropped off the picture.
