inspiration from our creative team – january 2016
It’s a new year and we’ve got an entirely new Creative Team to share a monthly dose of inspiration with you! I am so excited to have the opportunity to work with these insanely talented ladies and I look forward to them adding more inspiration every month. We can’t wait for you to get to know each of them and their individual creative styles. We’ve got team members from around the world who will be infusing their personal lifestyles and cultures along with their amazing photography skills to bring you a power-packed sampling of how they are using Project Life® in their memory keeping throughout 2016. Each team member’s name is linked to her personal blog or social media where she is sharing even more goodness, so take time to click around!
We hope you have all been thinking about your memory keeping for the upcoming year and in doing so, have made goals as to what you would like to do with Project Life this year. Whether you’ve already documented the first few weeks of the year or if you’re still getting started, remember it’s never too late. Pick right up and just do it!
Today you’ll be seeing pages from the girls on our team using our physical products. Hopefully you had a chance to get your first dose of digital inspiration from those on our team using our digital products and Project Life App last week. And, of course, you can follow our social media channels to see even more inspiration from our team members and others using Project Life. No matter which products you choose to use, Project Life is here to help you simplify the process of getting your stories into albums. Remember that the 3 core Project Life components and nothing else are really all you need to get started. Album + Project Life Core Kit + Big Pack of Photo Pocket Pages. That’s it. All products used in the pages below include direct links under the images for your convenience so you can see more.
Grab a snack and dive right in for some fabulous inspiration!

Where is the Happy New Year card shown on Leigh Odynski’s layout above? It says that she used the Everyday Edition but I checked the card references and I don’t see it. Help!
Based on how it’s cropped, I think it’s a photograph or some kind of ephemera rather than a card. I think it looks really nice!
Hi Laura R. It is a napkin, from Target, that I trimmed down using a 4×6 Project Life card as a guide. Thanks for commenting, and happy documenting!😃💕💕
Xoxo,
Leigh
These are all really lovely! I’ve not used the fuse tool yet. Can you give me some basic use instructions???
The Fuse tool is really fantastic! You can use it to make pockets different sizes and you can seal up pockets as well. You can also add additional pockets using the fuse tool. We have a quick 3 minute tutorial that you can see here on You Tube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5v_wYC6c_BA
Thanks for all the induration Creative Team! So fun to see all your beautiful & creative issues of Project Life!
*inspiration!
What a lovely bunch of inspiration! Thank you very much for that!
The layouts also look really blurry on my iPad. Never had this problem on other posts, and the other photos on the website look OK.
Great inspiration! One thing I’ve noticed in the past two creative team posts is that the pictures of the layouts in the post aren’t as clear as they used to be. Just wondering if you know why. Thanks.
Hmm… They are looking pretty clear on our end. Are you referring to the quality of the actual photos or do they all look unclear?
I’m having this problem too. The layouts all look a bit blurry and not clear.
That’s how they look to me too- blurry. It’s the picture of the layouts in the blog post.
Is there a way to view the layouts larger? It’s hard for my eyes to them this small. If i click on them, it just offers to Pin them!
Thanks!
So much lovely inspiration! :-D
These are so great! I was curious if you have any tips on how to prepare for the bound book that is going to be available later this year? I wasn’t sure what sizes were going to be available or how it would work exactly because I would like to be making my pages in the app so that I don’t get behind, but didn’t know if it would just automatically adjust the pictures to the size of the book and I can just use pages I’ve already created in the app or does it not work that way? Also, how many pages were going to be able to be printed in one book? Thanks so much!
