2024 Project Life // Week 27: July Stories by the Month

2024 is my 12th year documenting my life with project life and this project has become such a meaningful part of my life. This year, I am documenting my life in a 9x12 album with weekly spreads. In nearly all previous years I documented weekly, but I have also tried monthly (2014) and "go with the flow" (2015). This week, I am using the July Stories by the Month kit from Ali Edwards.

This is a beautiful, busy, wonderful spread. I love how you pulled this one together. Thank you for such great ideas, Linda, as always. 😍

[@LindaLovesCreating]

Thank you so much!!

[@sarawheeler3599]

Loved the spread & the speed. Thank you for sharing!

[@LindaLovesCreating]

Thank you!! ❤️

[@laurencschaller]

yes! this pace is great! loved to hear about your "why" when choosing elements for your spread. :)

[@LindaLovesCreating]

So happy to hear that! Thank you. ❤️

[@connieheitner5238]

I did like this pace better, thanks!

[@LindaLovesCreating]

Perfect, thanks! ❤️

I do like this pace, thank you for sharing! I love your July 4th spread!

[@LindaLovesCreating]

Thank you!!

[@michellegleeson6180]

Love the spread and the pace of the video. I love the cohesive color palette.

[@LindaLovesCreating]

Thank you! It's definitely so much easier to have a cohesive color scheme when working with a kit.

[@belladuplessis7861]

I like the slower speed.. always enjoy your videos.. thank you

[@LindaLovesCreating]

[@carolynphillips5317]

Thank you! Love the speed

[@LindaLovesCreating]

Ooh great to know!!

[@sarahj.8213]

Love this spread. I am from Germany and I used the flag to tell two stories. One: the crazy election time and my feelings around it and two: my re watch of the amazing show Scandal

[@LindaLovesCreating]

Those are great ideas for telling stories with the USA themed products. It's so interesting to me how much the rest of the world pays attention to our politics... also somewhat embarrassing at the moment, ha!

[@sarahj.8213]

@@LindaLovesCreating it is embarrassing. And it's so important. I mean it's the most powerful human in the world. So it's important for everyone.

[@emmafulbright7949]

This was a good speed! Thanks!

[@LindaLovesCreating]

Thank you!! ❤️

[@karenkawaguchi3197]

Hangover Cake . . . You could have really had us wondering if you left it unexplained! Thanks, always, for your inspiring content.

[@LindaLovesCreating]

Haha I thought that too! I wanted to explain otherwise it probably sounded like I was hungover 😂

[@2beaglesGA]

Linda, Can you do a video about your photo printing? Like your setting and paper and printer? I dont care about the costs I’m just interested in how you get such quality prints by printing at home. I print at home as well but can seem to figure out the settings to make them work so well.

[@LindaLovesCreating]

I can definitely add that to my list! But I'm really not an expert. I can share the products that I currently use, and a tip I have found to be true... use the same brand photo paper as your printer and don't use off brand inks, they might be cheaper but the quality just won't be the same. This is my printer: amzn.to/4d8NIyi and this is the paper I use: amzn.to/3plR1il I really love the luster texture, I think it really makes the photos pop. I also use photoshop to edit and print my photos, but I don't know that that impacts the quality.

[@AvitalGertnerSamet]

Great layout! thank you for sharing. Funnily, when I saw 7/24, my first connotation wasn't July 2024 but working/being on-call 7 days a week, 24 hours a day. A traumatic response to being a lawyer?

[@LindaLovesCreating]

Hahaha. I always think of that as 24/7 so it didn’t even occur to me. But also why I’m a government lawyer 😂

[@apaperpeace7564]

Love this spread. Could you tell me what pen you used? I saw that it is some kind of sarasa but I don’t think I’ve seen that one before. Thank you!

[@LindaLovesCreating]

Thank you! I use the Sarasa Mark-On 0.5 for most of my journaling, mostly because I really love this pen in my journal and it works well on all the surfaces I tend to write on. amzn.to/3HtzaeA
