Olive Edition – Hot Off the Press

I have fun news today. My Olive Edition core kits and papers for Project Life
have arrived. They are now in stock at Amazon.com and available for purchase
with Amazon's FREE Super Saver Shipping. Becky assures me that she
ordered gobs of product, but she also laments that her products tend to
sell out with ridiculous speed. I'm not sure where that leaves us on
urgency.

But, I do know that it's the beginning of a new year—and the perfect time to get going on a Project Life album. The Project Life concept makes
documenting your life fun—and easy. You only have to fuss as much as
you like to fuss. And if you don't like to fuss, there's no need to
fuss.

For Project Life, you use pocket pages to organize your photos and
then you add in color, design and documentation using one or more of the
Project Life kits—like my Olive Edition core kit here. Each core kit comes with hundreds of cards
for jotting down key bits of information pertaining to the photos in
your album. Everything goes in a pocket page. And there are lots of pocket-page configurations to choose from. Super simple.

The Olive Edtion core kit
is housed in a chic, glossy box and organized as you see below, in a
tidy tray. In the larger compartment, there are title cards and foldable
journaling cards with lots of writing space. All of the smaller cards
have artwork on one side and journaling space on the reverse.

There are scrapbookers who go wild with their embellishments,
preferring all sorts of texture and flair within their layouts. And
there are others who like simple, clean layouts. Project Life is
designed to satisfy everyone.

I like goop, well-done goop, that is. But, I don't have time to goop.
I do have time, however, to slip photos and cards into pockets. And my
kids are expert pocket-slipper-inners. Project Life works for me and my
busy, busy life in this way.

Of course, you know I'll find at least a dozen other ways to sneak
Olive Edition cards from their well-ordered little box and use them for
other purposes: gift tags, thank you cards, bookmarks, valentine
ornaments—lots of ways to spread this loveliness about.

Oh, that's right. There's a 12"x12" coordinating paper pack. I can use that.

There are also some cool, plastic month dividers and a coordinating
album/binder that should be in stock soon. These are still making their
way to Amazon's warehouse.

Here are links to the products available so far:

• Olive Edition Core Kit
• Olive Edition Paper Pack

To pull up my collection over on Amazon as items are added, search "Olive Edition Project Life" in their Arts, Crafts & Sewing Department. I don't think Becky has "Heather Bailey" on the listing yet.
