Organization Process for Project Life

So, how are you organizing your Project Life pictures? Since I am taking all digital pictures for this (and everything now!), it's really simplified my organization process. I take most of my pictures on my phone and they are automatically uploaded to my computer through Photo Stream. I've set up weekly folders under another folder titled Project Life. Here's a screen shot of what I have so far. You can tell that the past several weeks have been busy since I haven't put pictures in those folders yet!

 

 

Here's a closer view of some of those folders.

If I have some pictures that are vertical (portrait) vs. horizontal, I go into Adobe Photoshop and put two vertical photos onto one 4" x 6" canvas and upload my pictures that way to Snapfish or to wherever I want to get them printed. Here's an example of what I mean. These are two vertical photos which I have placed onto one 4" x 6" canvas in Photoshop.

So all of my vertically oriented pictures are 3" x 2" when I print them and can fit into my pocket page protectors. I'm just using CTMH's horizontal page protectors to make things easier for me (http://lubna.ctmh.com/Retail/Product.aspx?ItemID=588&CatalogID=35). I either use my paper trimmer to separate them if they are going into different pockets or keep them together if it works that way.

 

Now that school is over and the majority of my work demands have reduced, I am hoping to concentrate on scrapbooking a bit more! I probably need a schedule for myself to get going! So my goals for today, in terms of Project Life, are to get all of the photos I have taken up until now organized into their correct weekly folders. Tomorrow I will work on converting the "Verticals." I will also continue to slowly organize and clean up my scrapbooking space. That's my scrapbooking plan for this week.  Let me know yours and we can cheer each other on!

Project Life CTMH Style Week 5

Here's week 5 of my Project Life CTMH style scrapbook.

I just wanted to highlight a couple of elements on this page. I took a screen shot of a weather app on my phone to show the big difference in temperature from one day to the next.

 

We had a number of "keys" to our hotel room because we had ruined the magnetic strip on a couple of them by placing our phones too close to them! I loved the fun colors on the key and thought it would be a good addition to the page so I made a little pocket and put the key in. It's a neat way to add some ephemera. You could also use a small Flip-Flap.

I didn't have an in focus picture of our hotel room but I really wanted to include one on the layout so I went to the hotel website and was able to find a picture of the exact type of room we stayed in.

Love your Layout: May 2013

I'm so excited! Close To My Heart has added a new feature to Studio J (digital scrapbooking) to make it even more versatile. Now we can add photo wells and resize photo wells. There's even a blank layout so we can make our own digital designs. Whoo hoo! Did I say I was excited? Because I am! I still appreciate having so many predesigned layouts for the convenience and speed but I am so happy that now I can experiment with a blank canvas too! Remember, it's free to try Studio J and there's no software to purchase. You only pay for any layouts you want printed and/or for any jpegs. All you need to try Studio J is an internet connection. Click here to try it out!
