day by day

Hello SC friends! Kelly Noel here with a new feature on the blog, Day by Day! I kind of anticipated that this time of year would be rough for me Project Life wise. With two active boys at home all summer, I knew it wasn't going to be easy getting my PL spreads done, especially when I'm already SO far behind! I'm bound and determined to get myself caught up, however.

With that in mind, over the past few weeks, I've started doing one page weeks. It has simplified the process SO much! I'm still able to fit in most of the photos I want to fit in and any photos that don't fit in, the details still get added into the journaling on my page. And rather than my PL spreads taking me nearly an entire day to complete, I can whip one out in an hour or two. Huge timesaver!

(Supplies: Elmwood Park Printable Journal Cards & Shapes; ink: Prima Teal Damask; Tiny Attacher; brads: 9 to 5 Designer Brads; everything else: Elmwood Park kit & add ons)

This is my week 16 in my new one page style. I loved using Studio Calico's new printables for this week. July's journal cards & shapes were perfect. You can see how I used them here...all of the journaling cards are in the middle of my page. They made a great base for my photos and then I added little details from July's Elmwood Park kit to finish them off. Using kit leftovers has also been a big timesaver for me...having it all out and ready to go makes it so easy to put together a couple of PL pages too before I pack up the leftovers.

So disappointed - the printables are not the same color as on the screen. The yellow circle printed red, the ribbon end stripes printed blue. The & printed brown. The yellow bordered one printed red. The other printed border printed brown. The one with the heart printed green and white. What gives?

Sue - I'm uncertain why that would happen. Can you post your ? on the MB so we can help you trouble shoot?? Or send an email to info(at)studiocalico(dot)com so we can try and figure out where they problem is.

I adore this! I've always said that if I decide to give PL a go, I'll be doing one page spreads so this is very inspiring. ;)

Beautiful page! I started doing this a few weeks ago too and felt the relief - now I think I'll go back to some doubles again - have to love the PL flexibility.

LOVE this week of Project life. absolutely adore the 2 "polaroid" photos in the middle!

I've done one-page spreads from the beginning and agree that it helps to make it more simple.

I am a single page spread girl too...it doesn't take much to get it all in and done!

You know I love this Kelly! I gotta get a move on too. We need to get back to our challenge and stick to it.

Love this!!! I subscribed to the kit primarily for Project Life, so I'm excited about this :)

I am so with you on this concept - I was a fees weeks late to the PL party at the beginning of the year so I just did one page spreads to begin with to get up to speed.

At the moment I am a few weeks behind ( I like to stay current) so again I am "knocking out" one page spreads so that I can get up to date.

LOVE THE FLEXIBILITY OF THIS SYSTEM XX
