So pretty. This is what I need...to find a scrapbooking/storytelling grove. I feel as if I'm lost and burned out. Something like this may give me the boost I'm needing. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you Patricia! I can definitely relate in feeling lost/burnt out. I've so been there too. In this case, I wanted to figure out what was most important for me right now to document... and I decided that was what was happening in life right now. So, I'm not doing as many stories (practically zero) from past years and just focusing each week on doing a PL layout and identifying one or two important moments from the week that I want to capture. I love the focus on what's in front of me and encouragement to live life now, too.
LOVE your album so far. And as always, I pick up some tips and tricks from you along with your continued inspiration. What am I grateful for in February? My second oldest granddaughter turned 12 and her parents put on an "Office themed" party -so much fun. Thankful for their creativity, for both sides of the family getting along so well and especially thankful for my granddaughter as she is so sweet and smart and fun.
Thank you so much for sharing Krystal! I love your pages, love the circle that you made swivel from the xo kit! I get so much inspiration from your videos! Also love your 1 minute videos on Instagram!
Krystal, these layouts are so precious and absolutely awesome! I love to see all these memories in such a beautiful way. Almost makes me wanna do the same thing. But i already struggle to fit one week in a 12x12 spread. Love the book layout with the sc kit. Mine came finally yesterday, so i might have to scrap lift your page :) Really, so so so pretty. And, i think i saw the old WITL albums back in stock.
Thank you Sarah! You definitely have to do what feels manageable to you - tell the stories that matter the most to you... but in a way that you can prevent overwhelm. I can't wait to see what you do with the SC kit! It was so pretty! I still have a few layout ideas I'm toying with for the next couple weeks. ❤️
I love the way everything turned out! Thank you for sharing all of your great ideas. I am really curious to see how many albums you will end up with by the end of the year lol. Feb gratitude for me- Being able to celebrate new beginnings, after 9.5 years my partner and I are finally engaged!!!
yes! put those IG shorts here on YT also. I am loving the monthly flip through, so inspirational and the ideas are fresh to use right now (versus seeing them at a later time of the year if that makes sense) Thank you Krystal.
Makes total sense. I'm super loving doing the monthly flip throughs as well... because it reminds me of what the heck we did in the previous month. It's crazy how fast time goes and how quickly we forget things LOL. Thank you so much for the feedback Mary ❤️.
You’re a literal scrapbooking magician; I’m convinced! I just started PL for the first time a few weeks ago; I really love your version! Maybe next year, although 5-6 albums is what I am trying to avoid… I too, have a deep appreciation for a crumb-free floor! I’m so grateful to have begun subscribing to both the story kit and hopefully sbtm (when the waitlist is ready), studio calico, and paper person!
Thank you!!! How fun that you are making a PL album for the first time. It's such a fun way to document life as it is happening and reflect on what we do throughout the week prior. I think you could still manage to do just one (or maybe two) albums with the smaller PL pages... but without any of the larger stories/gratitude pages. Those are totally what is bulking my albums up. Instead of just four layouts per month... I'm more around the 12-13 layouts per month range. Yikes!
Thank you Laura! I actually don't mind how much room the layouts take up. In fact, I think I'm creating about as much as I was last year... layout-wise. Just in years previous, they've been spread out into a whole bunch of different albums. (In 2022, I made about 3 6x8 albums, 2 9x12 albums, and 1 12x12 album.) So far, I'm liking that everything is in the same size + that it's more chronological/flows better. Who knows what the future will hold though. Not totally closing my door to going back to larger sizes someday!
Hi Krystal, really loving the videos, so inspirational! Thank you for sharing. The link for the binder isn't working, an "uh oh" page! Is there anywhere else this available do you know? Or could you link to a similar one? Thanks!
Thank you Leanne! I should have remembered to change that link since the albums I used sold out (such a bummer they are gone). I added a similar one instead. Super appreciate you letting me know it didn't work.
Hi Veronica! Sorry that I didn't mention the size of the album - that was silly of me! This is a 6x8 scrapbook album that I'm using to document both my Project Life and deeper stories inside of. For the text, I run my cards through my printer to add text to them. Typically, I use the digital version of the cards to make sure everything is formatted correctly, and then add my card to some paper and run it through. I do have a tutorial on my channel for how I do this - it's a little on the older side and probably could use a re-filming... but the process is still the same. You can find that one here: ua-cam.com/video/Z5aQ0HSscPU/v-deo.html
I am definitely interested in making a trade! Let's chat and see what I could send your way too. If you are on Instagram, send me a DM and we can communicate that way. If you're not on Insta, I can send my email your way. So excited!!
I like the shorts of the Project Life pages
Thank you for your feedback Kerry! So appreciate it!
Grateful for a visit with my Best Friend from VA. 🖤
Oh that is so fun!! Glad you got to be together. ❤

Loving the layouts and videos - with how much space it takes up I really wish you would go back to some sort of 12x12? Just a thought.

I didn’t see or hear what size album you were showing. Also, how did you type the text in the cards. Typewriter or special software ?

I have that album and would be willing to send it your way! Wanna work out a trade?
