So here's the scoop!
I just wrapped up designs for a new Project Life collection — the Olive Edition. Becky Higgins announced the news on her blog this morning, along with a ton of sneak peeks.
I'm sure a bunch of you are already familiar with Becky and her
Project Life mission to "cultivate a good life & record it." If not though, I will LOVE to be the first to tell
you. Project Life is a fun and easy system for housing treasured
pictures, thoughts, memories, and life's important details, without the
time, fuss, expense and gewgaw of a traditional scrapbooking approach.
Of course, you can add as much gewgaw as you like.
Basically, you get a Project Life album, along with some thoughtfully-laid-out plastic sleeves (lots of configurations available) and a kit
of double-sided cards to slip into those sleeves along with your photos.
You can use the cards to track details and stories relating to your
photos or just use the decorated sides of the cards to add personality
to your album—or as placeholders till you are ready to write the details
down. There are paper packs and plastic month dividers too.
Here's the idea…
I have kept journals since I was ten years old. I know first-hand the
benefits of keeping a personal record. You recognize your blessings
better, you appreciate your day more, time doesn't seem so fleeting, and
on top of that, you are left with a treasure for your loved ones to
prize for generations.
Project Life makes all of these life-keeping benefits easy to access.
So, on top of my thrill in curating the new Olive collection for
Becky, like the founder of The Hair Club for Men said in his commercial,
"I'm also a customer."
The Project Life Olive Edition by Heather Bailey will be available to purchase in November through Amazon.com.
There are swarms of PL fans waiting for each new edition to be
available, so if you are interested, follow Becky's blog for updates and
be prepared to shop the day the collection goes live.
So, go have a look at Becky's announcement post.
She has way more preview photos posted over there than I do. Leave a
comment. And read up on how Project Life works. There's even a cute
little cartoon you can watch on her home page.
(Fabric-folk, you realize these images sneaky-preview some new designs for you too, right?)
