Project Life 2017 Week 2 by Jamie Pate  |  @jamiepate


Today I am sharing a look at Week Two in my Project Life album.

I keep referring to this particular album as a Project Life album for a couple of reasons.

I am a fan of Becky Higgins Design A Project Life Pocket Pages and that's what I am using for the most part.

Currently very influenced by Ali Edwards approach to this album. She is a motivating factor to me and keeping up with this memory keeping format.

And...it's an ongoing project about life.

Another Ali E influence is that I subscribe to the Story Kits offered on her site. For January I am using the Review Story Kit that was released middle of December.

The kit is no longer available. However, the digital version of the stamps just became available and I will link below.

For right now, and this is always subject to change, I am keeping these layouts pretty basic. Lots of journal cards to catch the story. And lots of words to tell the story.

Last year was a bit of a miss for me in this story telling process. And I missed not having so many important as well as every day stories told last year.

This year the motivation is strong to get these photos in these pockets and in an album. My hope is to share the rest of January here soon, and continue to share my process of keeping this as simple as possible as the year continues.

Admittedly, it's not the easiest accomplishment. These albums take intention. A daily/weekly purpose of intention to not only take the photos...but to get them documented. Some weeks will be full two page spreads. And some weeks there won't be as much. And that's ok. But I have to make an effort to keep up with this life in progress. And make good on these stories.
