Project Life Layouts are Hard

7/29/2014

Maybe I'm just doing it all wrong, but I thought Project Life was about making scrapbooking easier? Ha! It's actually super challenging to take a pile of photos, and somehow arrange them to fit in these slots. I always end up with not enough portrait oriented photos, or I think I have the perfect fit for one page, only to realize I have to force everything else to fit somehow on the backside. I just don't have a lot of *writing* to do.

Yes, I could have filled a lot of pockets with unrelated embellishments and whatever, and I'll have to keep that in mind for next time. This time, I was super naughty and printed off a bunch of images from google search of shots that I was seriously lacking. Bad me! Turns out I tend to avoid scenic photography.

It really doesn't help that the photo lab won't print smaller than 3x5, and so I can't actually fit any photos into those cute little pockets like everyone else seems to do (which looks pretty fun). So a lot of my photos were cut in half, because I wanna play like the big kids, too! Ha. I'm determined to make use of the super awkward pocket designs!
