waste not

In the last couple weeks of December, I made the decision to give this project life thing a try, so I started digging through my piles of supplies, pulling out stuff I thought I could use. I ended up making a bunch of 4x6 and 2x3 journaling cards to use. 

It's nice to use stuff that you've had sitting around for years. Like Heidi Swapp chipboard letters from who-knows-how-long ago.

Or rub-ons. I hardly ever use rub-ons, but I have a million of them. 

Too lazy to crop out my nasty work desk. Nice, right?

And you know, I never used stamps much in traditional scrapbooking, but I can see myself using them all the time in this format. 

Lots of them just have my handwriting on them...

I'll probably end up making a lot of my own journaling cards, although I have been picking up sheets of paper here and there that are printed with cards you can cut out. A lot of companies seem to be doing that right now. 

At the moment, I'm working on an organization system for all these cards.

I love this idea! What a great way to use up scraps of paper, rub ons, and other older product. I'm taking the plunge with project life, as well, and am curious to see what you do.

These are fab Anja! I think this project will be perfect for you! (And it would be great if I could remember to use my old rub ons and the heidi swapp chipboard letters from a long time ago too...!) :)

Hey Anja! I am freaked out thrilled that you are not Done With scrapping. I took the Project Life Leap last year as well, and just naturally evolved out of scrapping pages. Funny, I kept downsizing, from 12x12, to 12x8, 8x8. . .to Project Life. It allows for other crafting interests now. Here's to going forward! Happy New Year!
