CONGRATULATIONS, CARRIE!

Please send Kari Holt an email at kari@beckyhiggins.com and she'll get the kit sent out to you. You are going to fall in love with Project Life and hopefully adore this kit. It's got such a cool, colorful vibe. Let me know how you like it, k? 

PS. I was actually just in San Diego a couple weeks ago for Spring Break with my best friend so just the mention of it in your comment prompted me to share some pics from my vacation. I can't help myself. Ha.

Thanks to all those who stopped by and entered this week. My email box was on fire and I enjoyed reading the comments left.  Thanks to Becky too for the killer giveaway and letting me host it on my blog. 

April Project Life + Giveaway!

ETA: Drawing is now closed. I will be drawing the winner at random and then sharing the name of the lucky winner Wednesday morning.

I have been conflicted.  Now I'm not... and it feels great.

So, as I just stated, I have been conflicted. I have always loved scrapbooking in the traditional sense of paper + embellishements + trimming + kitchen sink,  but honestly, I've got to keep it real right now... my life is busy! I really need everything to be right in front of me on my computer sometimes and mess free. I've been conflicted to embrace the digital route more completely because somewhere along the line I picked up this stupid notion that digital scrapbooking just wasn't as creative, didnt' look as good, or was a cop-out... but that is SO not true! I've always been on the hybrid side of scrapbooking, but I'm glad that in the last week I had an 'ah-ha!' moment that makes me feel liberated: DOES IT HONESTLY MATTER HOW I CREATE & DOCUMENT, AS LONG AS I DO?  Uh, no! If this works better for me right now, or here & there, or whenever, I am going to embrace it and not feel guilty about it. Am I saying that I am abandoing traditional all together? Nope. Especially when it comes to Project Life, but if digital makes life easier and the process quicker now and then, count me in! There's room for both.

So, with that out of the way, here is my first 100% digital Project Life layout:

Project Life Q&A

From the Project Life post below. Thanks for your questions!

Q: Love you pages...are your journal cards digtal ?

Posted by: Andrea | March 18, 2012

A:  Andrea, yes my journaling cards are all digital. It's a huge time-saver for me to type my journaling on the digital cards and then print them when I get my photos printed. Plus, I'm able to fit more journaling into my album. You can purchase the digital designs HERE on jessicasprague.com

Q: Can I ask where I can get a copy of the card with the car with the xmas tree on top of it..thanks

Posted by: Janine | March 23, 2012

A:  Janine, the card with the christmas tree image on it is from the Clementine Core Kit. The Christmas tree image is a rub-on from American Crafts. I've tried to access their website to find a link, but the website isn't pulling up for me. 

Project Life

Why, hello there! It's been a little while.

So, as I have been working on documenting my life this year with Project Life, and am now part of Becky's 2012 Creative Team, you will start to see me post more of my pages here on a regular basis. If you have any questions (or just want to become the greatest of friends and say hello!), leave me a comment and I'll respond back to you. :)

To start my sharing, here are pages from the month of December...
