I’ve recently gotten into Project Life. What is project life? Well, it’s scrapbooking, journaling, and photography all rolled up in a creative little package. You can do it everyday or do it every week. Or you can just do it in themes, as the need arises (like I had been trying to do).

I bought the supplies last year with the idea that I wanted to get started right away, capturing my weeks as they passed. Alas, I had some babies and… well lets just say all that fell to the wayside.

My goal this year was simple: make it happen. It’s not a resolution. It’s just a goal. Something I know I would enjoy feeling obligated to accomplish.

The problem for me isn’t just time though. The problem is sometimes my life just isn’t that exciting that I have something worth noting each week. So I decided to grab some friends and make a fun little challenge out of it. Something to encourage us to make a habit out of it. What we came up with… 52 weeks worth of themes!

My thought was you could either use the theme for your entire week or you could use the theme in addition to your week’s own events or you could do it both ways, using the theme as filler between those uneventful weeks.

I figured if one used the theme as their entire week’s journaling, then small bits of what you considered important in your life, would peak out in the challenge. At the end of the day, it’s whatever makes you feel best. If you fall behind a week or two or you’re coming into the game late, no worries! This isn’t a race and the only prize are pages you did accomplish.

If you’re not really sure what project life is all about well then watch this video. It’s perfect for those of you who are busy and don’t really have the time to dedicate to scrapbooking but want to capture their life in small, bit sized bits.

If you’re a project lifer and are interested in joining us well by all means, LET’S DO THIS!!! Spread the list to your friends. Share with us your progress and let us know how you’re utilizing the list. Tag it in Twitter, Flickr, and/or Instagram (I’m gonna use #plchallenge2012) and show us what photos you’re working with!
