I am excited!  I just finished my first page for Project Life 2014.  It was easy, simple, and fun.  Now this is just one page, but I like having the pressure removed of having everything perfect.  I like the kit knowing that the colors match and I don’t have to think.

My Process: Planning

I used a variety of tools to make the page easy to complete.  My iPhone and iPad were my main tools.  I also had help from an awesome service called Oh Life! (https://ohlife.com).  If you haven’t tried it, once you register, they send you an email every day.  Recording daily memories are as simple as replying to the email.  I like the app Momento to gather memories for Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram too.  Now that my memories are recorded, journaling my week is simple and mostly done.  The next app I use is Project 365.  Although my Project Life album isn’t Project 365, this app helps me keep my memories chronological so I can look at a glance.  Finally, I used Marcy Penner’s planner pages (http://www.marcypenner.com).  Using the app Over, I type pictures and journaling I want to incorporate into my layout.

My Process: Assembly

I used the app Pic Jointer to make chosen pictures 3×4 and printed them at home.  I then inserted pictures into my pocket page leaving a space to denote the week.  I know this will be stressful for some, but I am not dictating at this time if I use one page for a week or three.  I thought I would let life dictate how many pages I use each week.  I do like the week in review cards that I have seen many people do on Pinterest.  So my upper left pocket was devoted to the week.  My lower right pocket was devoted to my week in review.  This week I made a 6×4 card on my computer.  I copied my journaling from Oh Life! for that week and pasted it onto the card.  Voila! A little formatting, and now my journaling for the week is complete.
