Whew! What a busy year this has turned out to be! I was so excited to do Project Life (the concept begun by Becky Higgins) for 2012, but I chose not to purchase any "kits" as I figured I could just whip it together myself. True, that worked pretty well having a great line on Simple Stories products. But by spring I had fallen way behind, and in the summer I had to pack all my supplies up for a move. So, when I found myself with some (albeit limited) time and creative energy last week, I decided to try to play a little catch up. I turned to my box of Sn@p thinking there just might be some great Project Life tidbits in there... and boy was I right!
The 4x6 paper pads could not have been more perfect for my weekly page layout. I started with one piece from the "Snappy Days" pack which has great little monthly and daily cards inside. I also pulled out the set of "Snappy Sayings" because I was working on a week with very few photos. So, some slots were going to have no pictures. Here's how my Weekly title page worked out:
Look at how versatile all these sets are!
Yes, they all come in a single package! These too...
Next, I worked on my two slots with photos.
I love the neutrality of the 6x6 paper patterns but created with great, fun colors! In addition to the sticker icon pack, I also added some labels.
Yup, all come in a single pack! Lastly, I worked on my sub-title slot and journaling. Pulling the letter stickers pack back out, I just added a sub-title to the pre-printed card and it was quick and easy.
The 2x3 card packs are also sheer perfection. A little card plus a trimmed piece from the 6x6 pack and I had a perfect journaling spot.
I put it all together in an 10x12 divided page protector and it looks like this:
All together, this layout took me 40 minutes to sn@p together. Now I have hope that I might actually finish Project Life 2012 before the end of 2013 ;) . Seriously though, if you have fallen behind, just grab some Sn@p Studio and have fun. You'll be caught up in no time!

An attention-grabbing dialogue is worth comment. I believe that you must write more on this subject, it may not be a taboo topic however typically persons are not enough to speak on such topics. To the next. Cheers
