Project Life + Childhood Photos

 

 

When I discovered Becky Higgin's Project Life system I loved the look of all those pocket pages and the ability to capture all the little stories that I may not have time to scrapbook in the traditional way.

I am not a chronological scrapbooker and I am a die hard follower of Stacy Julian's Library of Memories approach to scrapbooking my life so the photo a day approach to Project Life did not apeal to me right away. But like most of us, when I see cool new products I want  to find some reason to buy them!

When my mother gave me all our old magnetic photo albums from my childhood and I saw that the pictures really needed to be saved from them because the books were falling apart I realized that the Project Life system would be perfect for these pictures.

 

these are all the magnetic albums I received

prying the pictures off these gluey pages is not easy
