Project Life® 2013 | Week Forty-Two
Tags:Welcome to Project Life® 2013 | Week Forty-Two (October 14th through October 20th).
A couple of questions for you today:
Do you guys like seeing these catch-up weeks?
Does it matter to you that they aren't from last week?
Is there anything specific you'd like to know about my process or approach to Project Life®?
Mainly I want to get a sense if you care when the spreads come from? I've been keeping up with 2014 but haven't shared them yet (except myTitle Pageand Week Three) because I feel like I want to get 2013 out of the way first.
Here's a look at Week 42:
When I looked back through my 2011 and 2012 Project Life® albums one of the things I love seeing are the bits of life: receipts, drawings, tags, etc. I seem to have gotten away from that a bit in 2013 and I'd like to make that happen again more in 2014.
I've now got a supply of 8.5 inch x 11 inch page protectors back on hand to use as inserts to help with that process.
This week I included the kids school photos. On top of the two of them together I added a white label sticker from Kelly Purkey/Simon Says Stamp and wrote their grade on each side.
Heart Fall is from this set of word art: Fall Boxes
Heart This is a printable card from this set: Hello Fall
And one of those things I keep using are Heidi's handwritten glitter word stickers. Love those things. I used them on the page below as well.
I'm still doing that thing where I cut a PL card and add a portion of it to a photo for my journaling. It's such a quick and easy way to add a bit of context and a few more words to my spread.
Katie and I went to Nashville for the weekend and made it to the Country Music Hall of Fame and got to see Scotty McCreery at the Grand Ole Opry. Katie is a much bigger country music fan than me but man I loved it all. I especially loved getting to go to Hatch Show Print and came home with two new prints.

Please don't stop sharing. And for me it doesn't matter, if it's last weeks spread or an older spread you share. Just love to look at them.

I like seeing these catch-up weeks & it doesn't matter that they aren’t from last week. However, I'm curious to see what 2014 is going to look like.
It's nice to know that I'm not the only one not done with PL 2013. I have 3 months to do & I'm a bit overwhelmed by the task. Do you have a folder of ephemera & label with the week number on it or do you just estimate when you got this ephemera and insert in that week? Do you have a quick formula to repeat when catching up on PL pages? Are your pages for each week started but just not finished & so you are not starting from scratch. I like to know what is working for you & Katie. Would love ideas to finish my PL 2013 album. Love all your inspiration as well as Katie's. Keep it coming. Thanks.

I love seeing your pages, what you do differently & how they are similar. I don't care if they are current or waaaaaaaaay back. :)

I love seeing catch-up posts, because I don't do PL on a week-by-week basis anyway. One week might cover 1 1/2 "spreads", another week might only have a few pictures. I only designate the month..so going back to "catch up" does not sound so daunting. :-)
Yes to what other say---no matter what order you post them in, your PL spreads are awesome to look at for ideas. Thanks for sharing them.

I never care about a time frame since I don't scrap chronologically anyway. I am more interested in the process.

I enjoy all your posts and don't care what week they are from. I'm still finishing up 2013, so I find it reassuring to know I'm not alone in that. :)

I don't care if the PL pages aren't from last week. I actually like knowing that other people get behind on this and aren't systematically churning out fabulous spreads every Sunday afternoon.

As a first time Project Life scrapbooker and really first time scrapbooker, I love seeing past layouts as it gives me inspiration.
I know others have said this and I am just adding my suggestion in how do you organize to remember what you want to do for a layout. I am just getting started for 2014 now. Just bought supplies last week. So I am looking back on my facebook posts, instagram posts, my blog and my offline journals to start pulling things together for the weeks previous. But do you use a notepad, envelopes to stuff things into or how do you organize so you can come back and a play catch up on previous weeks?

I love everything! Please continue to share the catch up weeks! I appreciate the fact that you're posting them (your catch up weeks). I'm doing the same and I've pretty much have three projects going on all at the same time: my baby's first year PL album, my 2013 dec daily and my current year PL album. So reading and seeing what you're up to keeps me motivated and inspired too.

Catch-up pages are good-it keeps those of us that are behind motivated!

I am so glad to see your catch-up weeks.. I have no attachment to the "on time" aspect of scrapbooking and I even rebel a bit against the idea that you're "behind" because I see documenting life as something that can happen anytime-- the day that an event happens or years later. I really love your "unfussy" approach to memory keeping that is so real, so personal, so creative, so transparent. Thank you for posting so regularly! If there's anything I'd love to learn more about, it's your process of finding Katie. As a working mama who can do some of that work from home, I'm so intrigued by the way you have invited someone else into your family life and have made it happen so seemingly seamlessly.

I enjoy it all. It does not matter to me if it is current or if you are playing catch up.

I'm not looking at the date. Much like a 12x12 layout, I don't care if it's from 1900 or 2019. All of the ideas relate and agree with the others that it makes my feeling of being in 2013 (gasp) fine. We are all working on it. Love that you're one of us.
