show off your life with project life :: review and giveaway

“It’s too expensive… I don’t have time or space for scrapbooking… I’m not a creative person… I’m so behind...”

Have you heard anyone say things like this about scrapbooking? Have you said these things yourself? If so, you would not be alone. Traditional scrapbooking is still going strong, but it can be overwhelming, time consuming and rather expensive. That is why this concept from Becky Higgins is so brilliant. What am I talking about?

Here is a quick video that perfectly explains what Project Life is, and exactly how it works.

Why I love this way of memory keeping:
*It’s easy and convenient
*It allows me to keep it simple when I need to, or elaborate and embellish more when I’m feeling creative, or have more time
*It has inspired me to take more meaningful photos to capture a story or memory, not just document a birthday, vacation, or milestone.

Here is a look at the Seafoam Kit that I am using this year, and how I approach my Project Life Album.

    1. They havent posted a winner yet! at the top of the website is a “Winners” tab, just check periodically. =)

  7. This is the first I have heard of this and I am glad you did this review I think I would love to use this

  17. I have never heard of this… but it seems like something even *I* could handle… and it’d be nice to organize those photos I have sitting around in boxes…

  27. No I’ve never heard of it. This is such a great idea. Looks fun too.Thank you for the awesome giveaway! 🙂

  36. I haven’t seen these products yet, but just looked at the website and love what they offer!

  40. Thanks for the chance to win Project Life! It’s not been in the budget and with all the new stuff coming out…I’ve been so excited to dive into it!

  44. I use to scrapbook and make greeting cards, but now with a baby (and too overwhelmed with decision making with layouts, colors, etc.), I just haven’t found the time. I would love to learn more about this concept. Looks amazing! 😀

  45. I heard about PL in 2011 and first used it to make a pregnancy album for baby 5. It’s great!

  46. I love Project Life. I plan on using the products to catch up on scrapbooking lots of older photos.

  52. Thank you for this great giveaway! I’ve heard nothing but awesome things about Project Life and I have been soooo looking forward to being able to try it! 🙂

  54. I plan on starting Project Life.. I have been going back and forth trying to decide how I want to do memory keeping and this seems great! I have a baby now so I really wanted to start doing something. I know I always loved looking at my parents’ photo albums! 🙂

  56. I heard about Project Life around Christmas last year (so just 6 weeks ago or so). I’ve really been wanting to take the plunge because my now almost 2 year old daughter doesn’t have a single baby book and her older brother has 3. I love the idea of how simple it looks. Would love to win the kit.

  62. Ohhh!!!
    Thank you for the chance to win. Love the idea of Project Life. This project makes scrapbooking easier.

  63. Just decided to start Project Life in Jan 2013. I have the albums and pocket pages for each of my children. Thanks for the chance to win!

  65. I’m going to start Project Life this year! I need to get on the ball. I am using one of Becky’s kits for my baby’s album though!

  66. I started Project Life the first year Becky introduced her PL kit. The last 2 years I’ve used my own papers but it’s a lot more work that way. I would love to use the Seafoam kit for 2013!

  67. I have never heard of it, but it sounds great! I do really need to scrapbook so I can provide a keepsake for my kids later.
    Thanks!

  97. Yes, I have heard of PL!!! I really want to get one of the kits. I have gotten the page protectors and done some of my own style with them, but I look forward to using all of Beckys amazing cards!

  99. Tis is my third year of doing Project Life and I just love it! I have decided to start taking all of my photos out of boxes and into Project Life albums so that the stories are saved and enjoyed!

  101. I have heard of PL, I just got some PL pocket pages for christmas, but I haven’t gotten a core kit yet. I would love to get started! I love it!

  103. tried to do PL last year and it was done sometimes. this year i am determined to keep up/document every week this year. 🙂

  106. I have been looking at PL but haven’t gotten enough courage to actually start this would be a great way to start!

  108. I just started doing PL but would love to have a kit to use and simplify the process ever more!

  110. I have just started into the world of Project Life. Still don’t have any photos printed and still trying to get my bearings as to what direction to take…digital or printed.

  112. I have attempted to do project life. However, my 9 year old has pretty much taken over my PL supplies for herself. So, now I am in need of getting some more for me to use, as I really want to do it. Thanks!

  115. Fantastic giveaway! As a busy mom of five kids, Project Life is something that I really want to start doing!!

  116. I have heard of PL, and have purchased a few items but haven’t really gotten started yet. What I really need to get going is a core kit. 😉 It would be great to win this awesome giveaway! 🙂

  122. I purchased a kit a long time ago when the cards came in decorative boxes…not used and now have purchased the Seafoam kit and binder and am really doing it this year!

  123. I am just learning about Project Life and am excited to get started with it. Winning a kit would be an awesome way to start 😉

  124. I started PL last year – although I haven’t finished the album quite yet 🙂 I’d wanted to do it again this year but didn’t have $ for the supplies 🙁

  125. I have been scrapbooking for 18 years. I just started looking into Project Life. It intrigues me as i am getting further behind by the day!!!

  127. I have done project life and I loved it! However, I have not done it in awhile….so I am super excited to get started again!

  128. I’ve been doing Project Life since 2010 and I love it!
    Thank you for hosting this amazing giveaway….would love to win to catch up on old photos.

  129. Thanks for the peek of the Seafoam kit, and the info on how you are using it. I have been thinking of taking the Project Life plunge.

  130. I do Project Life already, but I only have the Cherry core kit. I’m using a weekly planner to keep track, and I’m putting the photos into a file to be ordered all at one time. It’s hard going, so far. But I have the desire to push on and there is SO MUCH SUPPORT!! That’s what I think I love the most. Becky does a great job of showing all the different ways it can be done to fit each person’s unique situation.

  131. I have been thinking I need to try it as I am so behind. I had a baby in 2011 and wouldlove to get caught up!

  134. I have been watching the Becky Higgins products for a long, long time. I have 60 years worth of pictures I would love to put into albums. But it is sssoooooooooo expensive. I want, want , want to win to get started

  137. love love love PL. I am in my 3rd year!! I want to go back and do previous years, too! I have sooo many pictures.

  139. Great video. I’ve been collecting the ideas and even some of the stuff, but finally printed some pictures to get started with this. What a great giveaway!

  140. I love Project LIfe! I am a beginner doing my first book for my 10 month old and loving it! I would love to do more…

  141. I have heard of project life and am planning to work on a hybrid album where most layouts are project life with a few special traditional scrapbook pages thrown in.

  142. I have been debating between paper or digital. I like digital because I never print pictures anymore but if it is digital then you are limited to working on it from your computer. If I win, then I will be forced to use what I get and I can just get started with it.

  143. I love Project Life! 2012 was my first year and I realized how it can be as detailed or as simple as you want!

  146. Yes, I currently do project life to do my kids’ memory books. I do it on a monthly basis, so two layouts a month. I add insert pages when needed! I love it it is manageable for me and my kids love their books!

  148. I have heard of project life, been wanting to do it for a few years now but just haven’t gotten around to buying a kit yet. But my goal is to get 2 done this year [probably going to start with a baby book for both kids 1st year] Thanks for the giveaway!

  149. I’m currently doing project life digital but would love to do it traditional, seems easier!

  150. I am trying out Project life for the first time this year! I am one month in and love it! I want to go back and do this for all my older pictures too!

  151. I am on year 4 of PL! This year, I am hoping to go back and use PL to play “catch up” on previous years.

  152. Would love to win this! We are being hammered with snow and this would just brighten the day!
    Thanks so much for the chance to win.

  153. Loved the videos. I’ve been looking into starting this way of scrapping for the past few months, but haven’t started it yet. I was wondering how you do your typing on the cards. Do you just type onto a program like Word and then print on those cards, or did you buy the digital kit as well and you just type on those digital elements then print those?

  154. I started Project Life last year – am STILL working through 2012, while documenting 2013. Would LOVE a new binder and kit to get 2013 started, as well 🙂

  156. I *just* learned of Project Life this week!
    I follow Simple as That (blog) on facebook and she was working on a lay out. From there I hunted down a few other bloggers doing it too.
    I’m inspired!! I’d love to start a Project Life album (or two!) I’ve tried traditional scrapbooking in the past and thought all of those things – pricey, time consuming, etc. This project definitely seems doable! 🙂

  157. Project Life is wonderful – I actually scrapped the last year of our life with it and would love to win this kit to do this year also. Becky Higgins has made it easy and beautiful to create albums!

  158. I did project life last year and am currently doing it this year. It’s a very fun way to scrapbook.

  160. I have been stalking Becky’s blog for a couple years now, thinking about doing project life, and I decided this is the year I am going to do. This would be so awesome to win!

  161. I would love to give Project Life a try… I have a few friends who have switched over from scrapbooking to PL. I think I would get more done. Thanks for a great giveway!

  162. Love Project Life! I’m in my 3rd year. 1st year was 365 days. 2nd year was 12 months, this year I’m going back to 365 days. Thanks for the opportunity!

  163. What a great giveaway! I just started project life this year and want to get my sister a kit!

  166. This is a fantastic giveaway! I’ve been thinking about doing Project Life for awhile now, so winning a kit would be a great way to start!

  167. I love Project Life and have followed Becky’s progress over the years. I just love this concept of memory keeping! Much more economical and efficient for me that traditional scrapbooking!

  168. I too LOVE Becky Higgins project life…it’s made memory keeping easy for me because now that I have two little girls I can’t scrapbook like before ;0(…but project life is the solution for me!!! Thanks for an awesome giveaway! ;0)

  171. Oh!Oh!Oh! I’ve only just jumped on the bandwagon this year and am in love with the whole concept. I used to scrapbook but unfortunately time over the past 12 months has taken me away from sitting down and creating pages.
    Project Life is so easy, I can still be creative and I don’t need hours to get something done!!
    Lovin’ it!

  173. I had heard of it from some blogs before and am thinking of starting a digital one this year.

  186. I’ve heard about it, but haven’t started, mainly because of the price. This would be a great way for kids to look back at their year. This is a wonderful giveaway.

  188. This is such a fantastic giveaway! Thanks so much to the folks at BeckyHiggins.com for helping a lucky SIMPLE reader get started with everything they need to create a beautiful Project Life Album. I am IN LOVE with this concept!
