I am.

Last year I not only completed the project but also finally got my 2011 and 2012 album done!

This year, I splashed out an bought Ali Edward's digital kit just for the fun of it this year. I added all the elements to one PSD and saved one for each day. If I get time I'll add more layout but I'm just keeping it basic for now - one 2 pager per day.

A close up of a piece of paper Project Life cardsI'll jot notes on the daily 3x4 Project Life cards from the Blush kit and then use them when I create my pages.

I'll be sharing on Instagram and over in Ali's Week in the Life Community too!

What are your plans this year? Are you in?

    I’m doing hybrid as well. I bought 2014’s digital templates and the 2015 paper kit with the album. For preparation I put all the digital Supplies in one folder and then went through all my other digi supplies (mail the brushes/digital stamps) to see what else I had that would fit with it. I then made shortcuts to those folders and put those in my WITL folder for ease of finding. I also printed all of them (we’re talking about 10 sets here) out so I remember what I have:-)

        Me too Melissa! I digi scrapped at least s title page and 1 or 2 collage pages using last years WITL templates. It means that even if I do not get any mroe paper scrapping done I will at least have two or three stories captured per day. I am now spending a bit of time here and there paper pocket scrapping the rest. I have Monday done, hoping to get Tuesday done this weekend. I love the paper kit that Ali put together, just enought so you don’t get overwhelmed.

        BTW, I uploaded all my digital layouts in the WITL gallery on Ali’s site so if you’re interested have a look there. I will not be sharing all of these on my social media.
