Let's talk about Project Life and my plans for 2016!

If you have been a long time follower (and a lot of you have, thank you!), you know that I have been doing monthly "Month in Numbers" pages to summarize our lives, kinda a la "Project Life" but without the page protectors. I have done them very regularly for the past three years. I LOVE these pages dearly!

But this year I felt that it was time for me to start something new. I needed a creative change and 2016 is going to be a big year for my family and I... a lot of milestones that I want to document right away. So I decided to start a Project Life album.

I knew that a 12x12 album was going to be way too big for me especially if I was going to switch to weekly spreads so I looked into the 9x12, 6x8 and 6x12 formats (I had eliminated the 8.5x11 early because I didn't like all the horizontal 3x4 pockets). After many hours looking around Instagram and Pinterest, I decided that 6x12 was the way I would go... at least for now! 

I was inspired mostly by Marta and Kelly Purkey.

Along with a new project and new format for me, I think I will try on a cleaner, simpler look. 

My spreads will mostly be created with my This Life Noted kits from Scraptastic Club and Becky Higgins page protectors Design H... but now I also want a Fuse tool!

So I am sharing my first spread and a bit of my second one... I started with Monday, January 4th because I didn't know what I wanted to do with the cover page or how to handle the 1st to the 3rd of January... I'll figure it out when I have more time! 

For now I am excited by this new adventure and I really hope to be able to keep up with it!

I'd love to hear about your plan for 2016 whether you are an old time PLer or a brand new one like me! 

A bientôt!
