Hello! I thought I would give a shout out to our year-long Project Life challenge now that we are almost half-way through the year! It’s a great way to document your life if you are busy and are having a hard time fitting in scrapping time.
Here are some details:
The goal is to stay current scrapping the year. There is no set form, you can take daily photos, scrap weekly layouts, monthly layouts or whatever works for you.
SG Project Life is similar to a Project 52 or 365 which are yearlong challenges of creating 52 weekly layouts (one for each week of the year) or taking 365 photos (a photo a day) and documenting them. We don’t want to overwhelm anyone with daunting requirements so we simply give you the challenge to document your year then let you approach this project in a way that meets your individual goals.
A few typical formats our members have chosen in the past:
- One layout for each week of the year (single or double pages)
- A double page layout covering two weeks
- One layout (single or double paged) per month
- A monthly calendar style layout with or without a companion page.
- Scrap the significant events from each month– some months with more pages than others.
- Use “Pocket Life” products to document your year.
You can choose one of these formats or create your own. The way you go about it is really up to you; however, we do have a few requirements if you wish to participate in the “official” SG Project Life 2018 Challenge and be eligible for the associated prizes. Find out more HERE.

I am in LOVE with Our fearless leader, Angie Briggs’ Project Life layouts! She uses templates to help speed up the process and I love the clean, graphic look that she achieves. Plus, it’s always fun to get a peek into her world!
Member Diane Lardieri has also used templates to help her with her Project Life layouts below. I LOVE how clean and elegant they are! Notice she is creating letter size layouts that are easy to print out at home.
Pop on over to the Project Life Gallery and check out all the fabulous layouts!
Hope to see you join in the fun!
