Hi everyone! It's Diane here sharing my very first Project Life spread. I've decided to do a monthly version of PL instead of weekly. Some months I'll have more than others, I'll just add pages accordingly.
My first month I used 4 pages total, two in a 12x12 configuration and one in an 8 1/2 x11 configuration. I inserted the smaller page in between the two 12x12 pages.
This is what it looks like in my album with the 8 1/2 x 11 between the two 12x12 pages.
I'm using mostly 4x4 Instagram photos, but will likely incorporate other sizes for some variety.
I used a lot of sticker sheets available in the shop, to embellish my pages and for jotting down captions and journaling. The yellow/blue circle backing the flair is also a sticker from the shop.
The "Awesome-ness" is one of the new Basic Grey fuzzy rub-on. How fun is that?! I also added a little fabric flag to my star paper clip. They are so on trend right now and it was really easy to do using the Basic Grey Mint Julep fabric tape.
The cute card at the top center of this page is from Webster's Pages. The sheet includes lots of little journal/title cards which are perfect for PL.
The "Hello There" sticker is from Jillibean and the stars from Studio Calico. I think this insert is my favorite part of my January PL spread.
If PL has seemed overwhelming to you, I hope you will consider the monthly format. I was able to include little bits of our life that I wouldn't normally scrapbook. With PL you can adjust it to fit your needs.
Shop items used: Fancy Pants (Trendsetter 6x6 Paper Pad, Down by The Shore 6x6 Paper Pad, Park Bench 12x12 Paper Strips Park Bench Label Stickers), Basic Grey (Hipster Fuzzy Rub-ons, Julep Fabric Tape, Julep Chipboard Stickers, Candy Buttons), Webster Pages (Sweet Notes 6x6 Paper Pad), Jillibean Soup (Irish Farm House Soup Stickers, Fresh Vegetable Soup Stickers, Fresh Vegetable Soup Stickers, Irish Farm House Soup Stickers, Yellow Smile Word Wise Stickers), Studio Calico (Handbook Journal Cards, Frames, Decorative Tab Stickers, Star Chipboard Shapes Stickers)
Love, love, love this, Diane! Fabulous idea to document your life monthly. I really like how you incorporated an 8 1/2 x 11 size, too.

I love the monthly format! You make it seem very "do-able" this way :) Beautiful spread, Diane! xo
