Scrapbooking and Project Life Tutorial

Scrapbooking was my first hobbie. Have you heard of it? It's like making a collage of photos but decorating them in a "book". I've made two... Ok, I'll be honest. I haven't finished them! And you'll see why. They are still in process but I'm loving them :)

I started doing the first scrapbook with pictures just of my boyfriend and I. We have been together for almost 6 years so, yeah... we have a lot of pictures! I don't know when I'll finish it. Maybe when we get married I'll stop with this one and start a new scrapbook ;)

I started the second scrapbook in 2010. I had the opportunity to work on Walt Disney World as part of the Disney College Program. I went to Disney to work there with my boyfriend and his cousin. We took a lot of pictures in the semester we stay there. I only choose the best photos for the scrapbook but I haven't finish it yet. I even ran out of page protection... but don't worry! I found them and I started to work on it again.
If you don't have the time to make a scrapbook or you are not a crafty person, there's something NEW you could try... it's like a digital scrapbook. Have you heard of Project Life? I've never heard of it until Jessie, a fellow blogger I met on Online BlogCon, told me about it.

Here's a preview of Jessie's creation
Do you like it? Well guess what? She made a tutorial! She also included the template download at the bottom of the tutorial. Go over her blog and check it out: Design Tips: Project Life Tutorial.

    Project Life doesn't have to be digital.. its just an "easier" form of scrapbooking because the pages are like page protectors and you slide pictures in..

    I tried it and then decided it made my pictures look tacky. Then I tried using up my supplies and scrapbooking recipes. Now I've decided that's archaic and I should be digital.. :)

      That's true. I think doing it like Project Life is way better than the original scrapbook. It's easier and the pictures will always look great!

    I have seen this a lot lately. I have a digital scrapbooking program, but it literally takes me hours and hours to find all the embellishments and templates that I want to use. I haven't purchased any of the product yet, but am seriously considering it. It just seems like a simpler way to do it. And faster. I'll be sure to check out the tutorial, thanks!

      I don't have a scrapbooking program yet. But I think Jessie's tutorial with Photoshop is easier than those kind of programs. I hope it helps you!! :)
