In this video, I go through my process for project life by showing weeks seven through nine of 2013. We start with 4 by 6 prints and end up with four spreads documenting the weeks in just a couple hours. Enjoy!

Great video, Britta! Thanks so much for sharing your process with us...I love your style!

[@deeinkc]

Thank you so much for sharing your process! I am brand new to PL this year and I'm glad to see someone put their pages together for inspiration!

[@waterfilterlove]

I used photoshop, which a lot of people don't have access to, but I recommend checking out Photoshop Elements and photo editing tutorials from jessicasprague(dot)com. Will add a link in the description!

[@waterfilterlove]

I use photoshop - since most people don't have access to photoshop at a reasonable price, I'll have to come up with a way to teach it on a different, more accessible program. Let me think about it and I'll try to figure something out. Thanks for watching!

I really love your process 💓

Sometimes, PL does get over whelming.. great job at 'catching up' and staying with it. :)

[@scrappysas]

Love your way of doing PL, you gave me a whole new perspective! And yes please share a video of your photo cropping! Thanks, Saskia form the Netherlands

[@waterfilterlove]

added a link in the description (third and forth links) to how I do it - using clipping masks in Photoshop (Photoshop Elements is a great, budget-friendly alternative). Hope this helps!

[@waterfilterlove]

I use Photoshop to get all my photos cropped down to size. I'll try to think of a way to do a tutorial on it - we'll see what I can come up with!

[@serafinascrapping]

Pretty cool video. Indeed, do more videos such as this one. Hugs, Kiki

[@vjw81e]

Love it, Britta! I have GOT to work on my PL!

[@BriScraps]

Love how quick it is to catch up! I didn't know you went to the U! It was fun to see your photos since I am a former Gopher. :) Midnight is a great choice for your college photos.

[@wowlifeisgood]

You're awesome. I will check it out. So sweet of you to do that and so quickly. I've been using Picassa but can't seem to figure out how to get the pic smaller to be able to mount on a journal card. I can make it 3.x 4 but can't figure out how to get it 2x2 - I guess that's what the size would be. Thanks again. Keep up the great work.

[@marygillmarten6758]

You have done an excellent job! I am very impressed!

[@Craftyk552]

I love these videos please do more!

[@wowlifeisgood]

great layouts...so fun... how do you get your pictures all different sizes like that. can you please do a tutorial on that. thanks.

[@YanaOstrovska]

love love love it!

[@scrappysas]

Thank you!

[@vmtee]

oh PS how did you get so many pix in a small space?

[@pamtheado5325]

Interesting

[@lendysalazar6849]

Are you using the mini photo pages? I want to do project life but I don't like the huge 12x12 albums. I want to do it my way

[@waterfilterlove]

Yes - I'm using pages made by Simple Stories and the S@NP system. They're 6 x 8. There are several other companies that also make smaller sleeves: Basic Grey Capture system and Project Life (a new product series, produced by American Crafts) come to mind. Hope this helps!

[@lendysalazar6849]

thanks for getting back to me! Ill check out the Simple Stories line

[@julieholleran974]

I have a cruise upcoming and plan to use a SNAP travel kit for my photos and memorabilia when I return. I am relatively new to scrapbooking and have been doing PL in the big 12x12 albums. I don't have access to photoshop, so don't know the best way to "crop" photos to fit...any suggestions for a non-digital-savy scrapping Grand'mere? Loving all your videos--thanks...hugs, Julierose

[@waterfilterlove]

Hi Julie - Photoshop elements is a fairly inexpensive alternative where you can resize photos like the ones I show above. There are a couple links in the description box below the video that might help you out. Otherwise, for bigger projects, I just get all of my pictures printed at 4 by 6 full size and then crop them down with a paper trimmer (and even use a window cut out of cardstock or vellum to get a sense of where I want to trim). This works best when you have a lot of photos to go through but don't want to spend the time editing them down. Hope this helps!
