I want to sum up in one succint sentence what it is that I love about this project, and why it clicked for me this year. I've talked about it for 39 weeks now. This should be an easy summation, right?

It lets me save my life.

    I wholeheartedly agree about the hair, of all the parts of us that we can “decorate” it’s the most forgiving and easily remedied if it turns out to be a disaster.

  3. eek! says

    Thanks for the giveaway! I love this project too – how it captures tidbits of our life that might otherwise go unnoticed and be forgotten!

  5. tea says

    Wow, your pages are so totally inspiring! I was caught in a rut, but now I see the Way. Thanks for sharing, and for a chance to win.

  6. Penny says

    Thanks for all the inspiration. I am new to project life and I appreciate you sharing your pages. Blessings.

  14. Jan says

    I so so so love your attitude about Aiden’s hair and your response to her. But how cool is it that it’s now documented forever in your PL album? I love it!

  18. Pamela says

    I completely agree with your attitude on hair. It is such a great, non-permanent way to express yourself. That’s why I let my 7th grade daughter “kool aid” dye her hair. She is blond and the ends are bright red!

    I think I will put that in my PL album, too. Thanks for the idea.

    p.s. would love to win!

    Pamela K

  19. Renee VanEpps says

    I sure would like to do this too, it’s hard to know where to start with all the supplies ya know? LOVE your album and I hope when my daughter wants to do something drastic to her hair that I will remember your thoughts.. you’re totally right.. it’s just hair and it’s HER hair!!

  20. Lynn L. says

    I love your view on hair! I feel the same way… it grows back!! 🙂 She looks great! Thanks for the chance to win.

  21. SHERRY says

    Sadly i have slacked off since June, but i like that i could go back and catch up or even just start from today.

  25. J. Melissa Mortimer says

    I love PL and the ability to do simple LOs or go all out. It is PERFECT! 😀
    Thank you for the chance to win.

  26. Daniele says

    It is my first year using PL thanks to your and Ali’s inspirational blogs. Particularly love the get real aspect of your approach and the simplicity of the concept (pages with pockets for cards and photos) so easy and just right for me.

  29. Carla Crosby says

    This is my first year for Project Life and I am loving it! Living life is time intensive…recording it is a breeze with this system! Thank you for the opportunity to win!

  30. Diane Anthony says

    Love Project Life too! One of my favorites are the blank journaling cards! Love to decorate them myself! Thanks for the inspiration and the chance to win!

  32. Jenn Thomson says

    Cathy, I just wanted to say that I don’t care if I win anything… I just want you to know that since I have discovered you in the last couple months (via BPC and PL) I have found you to be very inspiring. Thank you for your honest creativity in all you do! 🙂

  33. Robin G says

    Love your Project Life posts! I am still working on finishing up last years project life and keeping pictures and journaling for this years. I am slowly but surely catching up!

  37. Mel says

    Oh Cathy, I so adore how you’ve done your Project Life – it didn’t happen for me this year, for various reasons, but I have (realistic!) plans for how to make it work for me next year, and I’ve been so inspired by all the little details you include, thank you 🙂

  41. Christine says

    I have always loved divided page protectors but it always felt like cheating. Now that its cool I have so many choices and a new found freedom. Hurray!

  44. Anat says

    I love this project- bought the supplies with all intentions of documenting 2012…I really really hope to in 2013! Love your pie!

  46. Gina says

    ooh! great giveaway! love these basics and I am on my third year of PL and going strong! It has revolutionized my memory keeping!!:) thanks!

  50. Cathy S says

    I use the 6×12 protectors to hold programs from recitals and shows, just cut off the top 3-4 inches and the folded 81/2×11 programs fit perfectly.

  53. Laney says

    I want to see the results of Aidan’s hairy adventure! Has she done it yet?

    And just when I was thinking that I don’t remember seeing any pet pictures on here and that you need a cat, I spot a pic of Aidan holding a cat. Is it yours?

  54. Kathy R says

    I had already decided to start PL in 2013…this week is getting me all excited to get started. Thanks for a chance to win.

  56. Kate says

    Thanks for the giveaway! I’ve been wanting to try the 6×12 page protectors. Great timing! Thanks again.

  57. Amy w says

    I like that your kids ride bikes to school. More parents need to do this! Thanks so much for the chance to win.

  58. ErikaB says

    It’s snowing here, Cathy, & cold! I would love to warm my heart with some Project Life goodies!

  60. Morti says

    Yes, it is brilliant that the kids don’t need a date for the dance, and Cole’s coach has probably seen the size of his hands!

    Definitely put me in for the PL giveaway – I may be behind, but I’m working on it and I’m loving the results!

  62. Paula Valentino says

    I have yet to start my Project Life… so this would be a great time to start gathering supplies! Thank you for a chance to win.

  65. theresa says

  76. Sue R says

    Love your pages!!! Yes, I totally agree that hair does not make the person but when our hair looks good in our eyes, it does boost our self-esteem.

  79. Linda says

    Thanks for the chance to win!! Your pages are gorgeous, I love your style. I just receiving my project life supplies & I can’t wait to start in 2013.

    PL has definitely made me more aware of the everyday. Thanks for the chance to win, Cathy.

  83. Teal says

    I’m really going to try it next year thanks to your stick-to-it-ness and inspiration! Already ordered some of the materials, of course these would make it even better!

  84. Sarah says

    I quote…”that book with all the little pockets, that’s your best [scrap]book ever” said by my husband.

    Thanks Project Life.

  88. Patti T. says

    I am inspired by your pages, though I’ve yet to complete one myself. In Becky’s class so that is about to change!!!

  90. Vicki R says

    I am envious of your glorious fall weather. Here in the deep south, 86 degrees is the expected high 🙁 Thanks for the chance to win. I love the larger protectors!

  92. JillT says

    Thanks Cathy. Wasn’t going to enter because I’m not confident about using the 6×12. . .but maybe I need to shake it up a little 🙂

  95. Mandi D says

    Thanks, Cathy! Hoping to get started on PL in 2013, maybe before year end if I’m lucky!!

  97. Melanie A. says

    *sigh* should have skipped your blog today. I KNEW there would be food pictures lol. Strict diet for awhile. Those apples looked good and I can’t even have those! I will comfort myself with the giveaway lol.

  98. Shawna says

    LOVE LOVE LOVE Project Life. LOVE your blog!
    Thanks for the chance at some cool freebies!

  99. Cheri says

    I have avoided Project Life up to this point because I was too afraid I wouldn’t be able to stick to the commitment once made. But I’ve heard so many scrapbooking friends say they love it… to the point that I’ve signed up for the BPC class Project Real Life just to see what I think about it and whether 2013 will be my year!

  100. Rhadonda says

    Well i need to get past thinking my life is boring now that i am empty nest. Of course i have years of photos that i can go back and work on. But i am beginning to think i have something to still share. Don’t get me wrong, i love empty nest and my husband, just not sure how many pictures i can take of my computer, or food, etc. ( : Thanks!

  103. Marla H. says

    Love your pages and how much information you can get in a small area to still tell a great story. Thanks for a great giveaway!!!

  105. Michelle says

    Thanks for the chance to win. I’m just starting my second album with Project Life documenting my fifth year of marriage. My family enjoys the end result of PL just as much as I enjoy putting the albums together.

  107. Kim S (nerdgrl) says

    Love your attitude toward your daughter’s hair. Would not be a battle I’d want to fight. Thanks for the opportunity to win.

  108. Raven says

    I love what you said about hair. When my son was in school if he made good grades then he could color his hair any color he wanted over the summer. It has been green, blue, purple and a lot more colors through the years. Strangers would stop us in stores and tell me I should be ashamed to let my son do that to his hair and I would always tell them, “It’s his hair, it will grow out, and if coloring his hair weird colors is the worst thing he dones then I’m a lucky mom.” I think it’s great you let her do her hair.

  111. Ashley Marie says

    Wow! I wish my mom had the same views about hair as you when I was younger. I love your PL pages. Something just screams clean and that is refreshing!

    PS: Yay! Happy 3rd Birthday PL!! Thanks for the giveaway!

  113. Marcie L says

    I’m off to Homecoming at Ohio State for the weekend and am totally looking forward to it!! Go Bucks!

  122. Jenn says

    Yeah for Project Life!!! Isn’t it just the best? I love Becky Higgins for simplifying this way to totally capture my everyday life!!

  126. Anita Patel says

    I am so behind on this year’s Project Life but I still love it! Planning to try and catch up this weekend. Thanks for the chance to win! 🙂

  131. Laura A in OR says

    Love, love, LOVE Project Life! My only concern? I want at least one of everything! Thanks for the chance to win!

  133. Kate says

    Comment about anything I like huh? I really like straws did you know that? Big fat ones. paper ones. good quality ones. you know mcdonalds has a good quality straw? I also like those bubble tea straws you can get much thru it.

  134. Tove says

    Love this project so much – would love to get some freebies. Thanks for sharing your pages with all us blog readers who love to visit your blog. This is truly the best concept in memory keeping and so super easy.

  135. Dawn S says

    Always enjoy reading your blog posts and seeing your project life pages. Thinking about jumping on the project life bandwagon myself. Would love a chance to win.

  139. Ashley says

    This is an awesome giveaway. I just purchased my first Project Life supplies and will be doing from now until the end of the year. Starting with the Seafoam Edition for 2013. So exciting!

  142. Melanie L. says

    You have the best Project Life digital supplies, although I don’t use them nearly as well as you. Thanks for the inspiration and the giveaway.

  144. Michelle Allred says

    I am in love with Project Life and I love your blog. Thanks for the chance to win!

  145. LauraP says

    Thanks for the chance to win! My biggest struggle right now with PL is whether or not to continue to round my corners…I started out rounding corners, but then my corner-rounder broke (gasp!) and I’ve just been putting things in with their normal corners (double-gasp!). I haven’t been able to find a rounder that I like as much as my old one (sigh…). It’s a tough world!

  147. Teresa R. says

    I love Project Life and how it allows you to focus on what is important or significant to you at any given moment. The rules are, there are no rules. Brilliant.

    And since taking your Ten Tips For Better Type class at BPC, my journaling has never looked better. It looks so much better, that I want to journal more. Thank you Cathy for that.

    Teresa

  152. Diana Tellez-Smith says

    I saw these page protectors and grid cards on Becky’s blog. i love these and want these!!! this is so my style of scrapbooking and with my busy life would make scrapbooking easier for me too.

    thanks for the opprotunity to win!

  154. Nicky from Okotoks says

    Have been looking at orderding some of these – what a treat it would be to win some

  157. Lori says

    This year, I have really found myself having a difficult time found traditional scrapbook pages. Project Life has been a life saver. My pages aren’t nearly as creative as yours or others’ pages, but they are mine and they captures slices of my life. And I am in the pages, too, not just my kiddos. I think it gives a more balanced reflection of who we area and what we are about. Thanks for continuing to inspire me to record it all.

  159. Connie Fisher says

    Love the project life idea…just haven’t started it myself. How fun it would be to have a glimpse of my grandmother’s everyday life when she was growing up or even my mom’s. Love your pages and stories. Thanks for the chance to win!

  161. Amanda A. says

    I really enjoyed your post today. I agree with you about the hair thing. My son wanted to grow his hair out and I let him because it is just hair.

  164. Sue says

    Love to see how others do their PL. I would love to win some supplies for my PL. Thanks for the chance to win.

  165. betcei says

    Anything at all? Well…the Happiness of having one of my 3 older sons back home, even for a day, and sleeping under our roof. Just knowing I can see his smile and listen to his talk makes the day filled with Joy! Knowing they want to come home and be with their family even when college fun calls makes us Happy!

  166. dawn says

    Hi Cathy,

    I have been happy dancing all the way with your joining Project Life this year. I look forward to all the fun you add and your thoughts of happiness on it. You should be so proud of yourself and how well you’ve done, even without your computer, you still kept going. Thanks for all the fun cards you create and share with us. I do mine on Sunday’s too and think of you sitting there doing your pages. It makes my heart happy and feels the scrapbooking need in me at the same time.

    These pages are so cute as usual. I love that you shared the story on her hair. I’m not as cool as you though. I know it’s just hair but if I have to look at them everyday then I want to see just the hair they were born with. My hubby has been wanting to go bald for sometime now and I keep saying if you do don’t come back till it grows in, haha so far he hasn’t done it. Good for you though Cathy, Aidan is beautiful no matter what she does.

    Thanks for always inspiring me and sharing your little family story with us.

    Great pictures in this week!!!

  168. Lisa says

    What an awesomely timed giveaway.

    I realized last night my plans of using 6×12 page protectors for an introduction page for my album (similar to yours in your January 04, 2012 post) and the monthly dividers was flawed. Flawed? Oh yeah. One introduction page plus 12 monthly dividers adds up to 13 page protectors and I ordered 1 package of 12.

    And of course I just bookmarked a really cute idea for the grid cards…

  169. Leigh says

    I use PL for my boys’ school books, but am inspired to use it at the start of next year to document the every day. Thanks for a chance to win a great giveaway!

  170. Kyla says

    Awesomeness! I too am loving Project Life. I can DO this and it’s so much better than anything I could have come up with in my regular scrapbooks. Art is good, but memories and recording life . . . is better!

  171. {vicki} says

    Anything I like?

    OK….

    I went to the dentist yesterday and had a good checkup.
    I know you don’t really care about that but it was the 1st thing that popped into my crazy little head!

  174. lisa says

    my name is lisa, and i am a project lifeaholic. 🙂 however, due to a very busy summer, I am very behind in my book…like the last week I did fell about the second week of April. But that is the magic of project life…it isn’t overwhelming to catch up. now that the kids are back in school and the weather is turning cooler here in wi, I can easily catch up. i am spending the day today starting to get caught back up. 🙂

    Happy Fall! 🙂

  175. Vickie says

    I’m starting Becky’s class today. I’m new to Project Life so any products would be great fun!

  177. Lauren says

    Thanks for the opportunity to win, and thanks for sharing a slice of your life with all of us.

  182. Sarah says

    I wanna say that I’ve fallin out of my PL routine….but now, my new iPhone and I are ready to jump back in to wrap the year. Thanks Cathy.

  186. Elizabeth T. says

    Well said! I love the “saving my life” aspect — and that I don’t get all bogged down with design decisions. I just go with the flow and as I told a friend, it’s the most gratifying scrapbook work I’ve ever done.

  187. Karen says

    Great giveaway! Thanks for the chance. Love that your unique style shines through in Project Life.

  189. KellyC says

    I really really love looking at your weekly project life layouts….thank you so much for sharing!

    I’m so excited about the 6×12 protectors, I’m not one to pull out a sewing machine to make my own (first, sew? second, time?) so I can’t wait to get a package and use them….hopefully I’ll win a package 😉

  190. Robin says

    I like your week in review. Next year I might start doing the same type of documenting instead of the daily card. Mostly this will work on the weeks where I have more pictures than stories to tell.

  193. Jill Jackson says

    I enjoy seeing what you create each week for Project Life. It gives me such inspiration!

  195. Tirzah Shirley says

    Project Life is the only product I have on my Pinterest “Products I Love” board, if that says anything. It’s such a wonderful way to record life.

  196. Tanya S. says

    Thanks for sharing! I love Project Life! I’ve captured real life not just the exciting moments!

  199. bdaiss says

    Ooo! Thanks for the chance! And SO right.on. about the hair. I’m all for having fun with your hair. And our kids will need something to laugh at in photos down the road. Their ombre hair is our big hair 80’s, right? 🙂

  200. Amber B says

    Love how easy it is to stay scrapbooking current with project life! thanks for the chance to win!

  203. Nolwenn says

    I am a newbie using Project Life. And I was not even a scrapbooker. But I am hooked and love every part of it.
    How do you print your journaling cards with your words ? is it on cardstock ?

    thanks for the giveaway

  204. Sue Alg says

    Love your inspiration. I started PL in January and have been telling everyone I know about it. My goal is leave a legacy for my grandkids and this is so perfect. I thought at first because there was only my husband and myself still at home I wouldn’t be successful, but I was wrong. I can easily create at least one page (and most weeks 2 pages) with my life. And I’m leaving my history for future generations.

  205. Miriam Prantner says

    Love how photo heavy your layouts are, mostly content, I sometimes think it needs to be too fancy, have lots of other stuff, and it really doesn’t.

  206. Linda says

    Love your comment about hair–I have always said that! my girls are 25-29 now and they turned out fine no matter what they did to their hair in hi School. My youngest stilll shows up at home sometimes with differetn color hair and I just laugh!

  207. Suzie Perrie says

    I wasn’t sure on the whole Project Life thing but I hopped on the bandwagon this year. And I am so totally grateful! You summed it up perfectly when you said it lets you save your life.

  209. karen c says

    I LOVE the grid cards. I keep them in my purse, in my car, on my desk, by the sofa, on the nightstand, in my camera bag, on the bookshelves and my whole family uses them so winning those would be great. I’ve never used the sleeves so they would be fun to add in. Thanks! Thanks for the chance!

  210. Theresa says

    I am so happy it is Fall! The slightly cooler weather, the pumpkin spice latte at Starbucks and warm snuggly jammies!

    Thanks!
    Theresa

  212. Jennifer C. says

    If you were to ask me to choose one, I couldn’t choose. I love them all! To bad I can’t afford them all. Decisions, Decisions…..

  214. Allison M. says

    I love my PL album for this year even if I am a few weeks behind at the moment. Thanks for the giveaway!

  216. Cathy K. says

    I am just starting project life, yes it is the end of he year but that is when a lot of family stuff goes on around here, so I’m jumping in. Thanks for the inspiration you’ve provided.

  218. Michelle Urteaga says

    Thanks for sharing your project life this year and for the chance to win!
    Michelle U

  220. Renee L. says

    I love the words you’ve added to your photos and the computer journal cards. I seriously need to think about trying both of these along with PL for 2013.

  222. Susan R says

    Gotta pick your battles and hair is not one of mine either. Getting cooler here so want to settle in and do creative things! Thanks for the chance to win these!

  223. Christine says

    Love your hair and Project Life! Would love to supplement my current binder with the products you are giving away. thanks!

  224. Leanne in CA says

    Love your Project Life pages–thanks so much for sharing them with us. Thanks for the chance to win PL items!

  225. Nina F says

    I want to save my life 🙂 You have a wonderful way with words! I’m dippin my toes into Project Real Life, (52 weeks was way scary to me)and thinking these 6 words are why anything I record is a huge plus on a lot of levels. Thanks!

  226. Letty Sandoval says

    I ‘m loving all what I’m reading about PL and your blog is one of my favorites!! I will try to do it on 2013! Thanks for the chance to win!!

  230. Karen Moore says

    I’ve had the best time doing my first PL this year. I love that I’m documenting my 3 grandkids life – the big and the little things! Someday they’re going to realize what happened that they’ve forgotten! Priceless!!!

  231. Karen Rice says

    I’ve not met anyone who doesn’t love PL! I love the new Bazzill cards Becky started adding to her products list! I would be so happy to win the 6″ x 12″ page protectors and grid cards–neither of which I own! Thanks for your examples!

  232. Denise says

    would love to win these to add to my collection; these have been on my Project Life list FOREVER!

  235. Scrappy Angel says

    That’s exactly why I love PL too Cathy. Let’s me save the little bits instead of getting lost or tossed.

  236. Laura says

    Hi Cathy,
    I love seeing your posts pop up in my Facebook feed.
    Always so inspiring. With six little ones, I find I always have an overload of photos and love the idea of putting 6×12 collages into the project. Thanks for the giveaway opportunity and continuing inspiration.

  237. Mary says

    Hi Cathy, I love Project Life and would love to win this. I am a big fan of yours and love to follow you on your blog. Thanks for putting this up for a lucky winner, hopefully me, haha.

  241. Cele Schaffer says

    I want to start Project Life so bad but have been intimidated. I have started to think maybe I could do a layout monthly instead of weekly. These products would definitely help me get started. Thanks for the chance!

  246. northcarmen says

    I am excited to be starting Becky’s Project Real Life this week, and am hoping to soon get caught up on the pages that got left blank in the album amidst all our summer fun…. 🙂 Thanks for sharing every week, Cathy. 🙂

    Carmen.

  247. Patchouly says

    This blog hop is so much fun, I am learning so much more about Project Life! Thanks so much!

  248. Jamie K says

    Thank you, thank you, thank you, Cathy!! The 6×12 protectors are my favorite. I keep a running journal throughout the week and then print it out and put it in one of the 6x12s in between my pages for that week. It works out great. Thanks for the chance to win!

  250. Kathryn Benfiet says

    I love how you described Project Life…it allows me to save my life. Thank you for the opportunity to win.

    Kathryn

  252. Anita J. says

    Awesome … thanks for the inspiration! Love Project Life. This is my first year and I am way behind. It will turn out as highlights of the year but I am not quitting. Next year I will do better. Have learned a lot this year thanks to you and the other really great, generous people out here sharing with everyone!

  254. Wendy S says

    Always look forward to seeing your weekly layouts for inspiration! Thanks for the wonderful giveaways!

  258. Debbie says

    I love your style! I also LOVE PROJECT LIFE! I am so thankful for Becky sharing this great simple way of telling our story.

  259. Carmen King says

    Anything I want? Wow! I took a nap this morning and had a dream that I fell asleep in my car after dropping my daughter off at her bus stop and was woken up by a drug agent sitting in the backseat asking me about my “real life” as an international drug lord. I don’t think I’ve ever talked so fast in my life trying to convince him that there is NO way his accusation could possibly be right. Yes, it was strange. No, I am not an international drug lord posing as one of the most boringly average homemakers on the planet who also happens to LOVE Project Life. Btw: I’m telling you about that because I really like naps and I just don’t get to take them anymore, of course, with dreams like that…maybe I shouldn’t. :-}

  262. jackie p says

    i am so glad to hear you say that about hair! i let my daughter die a piece of her hair purple. she was shocked i let her. i figured it would grow out and that wasn’t a battle worth fighting.
    thanks for the chance!

  263. Gina M. Taylor says

    I agree about the hair. I have 2 girls and have always let them decide what to do with it.

  264. Jacqueline R says

    Thanks for a chance at this giveaway! I am a HUGE project life fan…it is simply the best idea for streamlining memory-keeping!

  268. Kary in Colorado says

    As a PL devotee (in year 4 now and still love it), I have to say that i love your succinct “It lets me save my life”. I totally feel the same way. I love checking in for a little inspiration each week–one of the things I love about PL is that I can try out new stuff there, without the commitment of time or materials to a whole 12×12 page. I can try on a bit of CZ style and see how it fits on me!

  273. Marcie Wyatt says

    I love seeing your project life pages every week. This week I am loving your “Love this Life” filler card. I love you and love your blog!!!

  276. Beth says

    I would love to add these to my PL goodies that are on their way from Amazon as we speak! Can’t wait to start! Thanks, Cathy!

  278. Angela says

    This is not a project I ever felt up to tackling…until now! I am doing a project life album in 2013!

  279. Charity G. says

    Thanks for sharing why you do project life. I’m excited to try and do this (or something similar) soon.

  281. Erika Bardo says

    Thanks for the chance to win Cathy! I was just taking a peek at some of your PL 3×4 and 4×6 journal card templates to download in preparation for starting PL in 2013. These look like they’ll save me a lot of time in creating mini templates! Thank you for that!

  282. Jennifer says

    I’m a new fan of Project Life and loving exploring all the possibilities – especially hybrid. I also use it to collect small pieces of art I create along the way – I just use the journaling cards when I’m trying out a technique or a new product. 🙂

  288. Julie A says

    I love looking at your weekly posts for PL! You’ve given me lots of ideas for my own project.

  289. Patti A says

    I would love to use these in next years Project Life project. Thanks for a chance to win these.

  291. Felecia says

    I have enjoyed your enthusiasm for project life and the resulting pages. Thanks for sharing.

  293. Shelly says

    Anything I like? I like what you do. I like the way I feel inspired to work on Project Life because of the posts I see of yours and others. Today I was walking with a friend and saw various things that I wanted to take photos of for MY project life. After that walk I went back and took those photos and am so excited to create the pages for this week! Project Lifer’s share a community of creativity — LOVE IT!

  296. Melody says

    I love how you document from your perspective, but all of the members of your family are included. Love your designs, love your journaling. Thanks for always inspiring us all!

  307. Julie says

    you’re so inspiring to many (and me ) in so many ways with regard to being healthy and scrapbooking and design – but today i’m taking away a parenting tip – ‘its her hair and hair grows” – fantastic cathy thanks :>

  308. dianne d. says

    Wish there had been Project Life years ago, but I’m hoping to use it to get my older photos organized and easy to view.

  309. Lucrecia says

    Such a great mom to let your daughter be her authentic self! I’m still in the learning stages of that, and “pick your battles”.

    Thanks for the chance to win!

  310. carol in seattle :) says

    What I like? Well, I like you and the honest way you share your life with us. I like digging around in my scraproom until I find just what I’m looking for. I like having the heat on when it’s cold. I like good ice in my diet coke. I like photos and paper and glue. I like living my life and saving those awesome little bits. How’s that? 🙂

  311. Barb says

    Hi Cathy,

    CONGRATS and thanks for the chance to win! You guys are all inspiring me to take this challenge next year.

    Blessings,
    Barb

  313. Natasha Lipsey says

    Please can I have a chance to win?! Although I live outside of the US (in New Zealand), I have a sister in Arizona. I just found PL 3 months ago, 3 days after the birth of my 3rd daughter and I LOVE IT, can’t get enough of it. Thank you :0)

  316. Jacenda G. says

    Love Project Life too – love that we can tuck in some fun memorabilia that would eventually get tossed one day. Thanks for the giveaway!

  317. sandy sh. says

    Project Life is a simple way to document my family’s life.

    Who knew that being a grandmother would be all about bugs, sweat, and dirt?!?

  318. tiffany h. says

    I’ve loved seeing your PL each week. Really makes me want to jump in and join the PL bandwagon. I ordered the turquoise kit when it came back in stock recently and am signed up for Becky’s online class at BPC. Your giveaway would be a great addition to my stash. Thanks!

  322. Cheryl T. says

    The snippets taken of your everyday life look really fun. I need to get my hands on Project Life! It looks easy and do-able.

  323. ana roat says

    I’d rather my daughter have crazy hair than to parade around in shorts that are 3 sizes to small! As women we fret and termoil to get rid of the “muffin top” but these young gals like to display all the goods!

    Go adian GO!

    oh, love your stuff Cathy…Happy Birthday PL/Becky too!

  329. Amy Dann says

    Thanks for the opportunity to win! I’m looking forward to making my 2012 Project Life book be a bit more creative and fun.

  335. michelle says

    I started this PL in June and can’t believe how easy it was to start. I figured it’d be overwhelming, I’d fall behind, a million things. But I love it so much I look forward to doing it each week. Thank you for teaching us how to save our lives beautifully.

  336. Katina Martinez says

    Two of my most favorite products from Becky Higgins, Idon’t know how I ever scrapbooked without 6×12 page protectors.

  338. Beth says

    I’m just starting Project Life (with the Project Real Life class) and it was great to see what things you include in your scrapbook. I loved reading about your daughter’s hair. My daughter currently has bright red, kind of spiky hair and I’m just thankful she didn’t ask for a tattoo, piercing, etc.! Thanks for the chance to win.

  340. digiMunster says

    I’m entering to make myself feel better about buying all your other stuff. Hehehe. Those 6×12 ones sure do look purty. Thanks for the chance!

    I LOVE PROJECT LIFE!…but haven’t tried any 6×12 layouts yet. Thanks for the chance to win! Cathy, thanks so much for your inspiration. Just purchased ONE of your 12×12 template layout sets during DD’s sale and can’t wait to use them. Already have the other set on my wishlist!

  361. Jen says

    I absolutely LOVE your Project Life layouts and they inspired me to give Project Life a try, which I will be starting in January. Thanks for all the inspiration!

  363. Heather R says

    I totally agree about our kids hair, if the way they chose to rebel is to mess with their hair color and or style then absolutely feel free. It could be much much worse!

  364. Dawn B says

    Thanks for the chance. Would love the 6 x 12 page protectors, for some of the odd size things the kids bring home.

  369. JenRay says

    Two of my favorite PL products as well – we both have good taste! Thanks for the chance to win!

  370. Dawhite52 says

    Thank you for the inspiration! I am new to Project Life and just started Becky’s class today. I can’t wait to actually get all my pictures into the cute little sleeves and out of boxes and bags.

  373. The Monogram Bungalow says

    I like to do computer journaling in my books. I haven’t quite figured out to do this on my new printer on Becky’s cards, but will be working on this asap!

  374. michele says

    3rd year Project Lifer here!!! Thanks for the chance to win some stuff for my 2013 album!!!

  375. Alissa H. says

    Oh, oh! Pick me, pick me! I’d love to play with the 6×12 protectors. And I just love the grid cards. I think that was such a fantastic addition to the line. Thanks for the giveaway and the inspiration!

  376. Sandra L. says

    Loved the chevron PL insert when I first saw it. Thanks for including it in the PL freebies available on Beckys site!

  377. Amy says

    Hi Cathy!
    Thanx for the chance to win 🙂 I peruse your sight and look at your Project Life, but for some reason, until today, I never noticed how you fill the pages with pics and a ‘basic’ run down of the week. I lOVE the idea!!
    Amy

  379. benessi says

    I love it all! I love PL and I truly believe anyone who wants to do it absolutely can do it. It can be anything you want it to be, instead of doing week at a time, do month, or two months or two weeks- it doesn’t need to be the same format throughout. No matter how you do it (even if you miss weeks in between documenting) you will like it later on. You can’t mess it up!

  381. julie freeman fischer says

    some of my fav pics are of my boys when they bleached their hair it was short and then when it was growing out it looked like flames. My thoughts… its gonna grow out and its not permenant hahahah but the pics are and some are very funny… thank you for the memory!! I love project life!!

  385. Cynthia says

    First time visitor to your blog! I am so excited to revisit to get great ideas for project life.

  386. Shanon says

    Thanks Cathy! I love your blog and have been a fan of your style for quite awhile now (and as a MN girl living in MO, reading your blog helps quell the homesickness). I’m super excited about the new Seafoam edition of PL and can’t wait to try it out.

  394. Melissa M. says

    I love using the 6×12 pages for my weekly inserts, since I always seem to have a need for an insert (or two.)

  399. Danielle Roz says

    Well I love you. I love reading your blog & lifting all your crafty PL ideas. Yeah, you’re pretty amazing!

  403. Carolyn says

    So – I totally saw your doppleganger driving by me in a baby blue VW bug (the remake). Which is strange because I totally picture you in a beetle. Also strange that I dont actually know you but can pick out your doppleganger.

  410. Jeannie L says

    I’ve been avoiding Project Life but am seriously contemplating to start next year. Love your project life pages. Thanks for the giveaway.

    thankyou for the chance to win

  446. Nita K. says

    One thing I like is all the PL inspiration around the Web these days. It is so inspiring!

  449. Jodie says

    Would love to win have the original PL but have never started but contemplate it daily (how dare life get in the way of my recording life sheesh)

  452. Kim says

    Happy day! Thanks for giving another way to thinking about memory keeping. Think lucky #437!

    I love the variety of page options with PL. Thank you for the give away and for investing your talents in this fabulous scrapbooking project.

  499. Juli says

    I have great plans for the 6×12 plastics — I just haven’t done it yet (sound familiar to anyone? Oh, everyone!) I want to use them for documents family stories with a photo and the top and lots of room for a story. I think I’ll just stick them in my Project Life as I do them — it would just be one more thing I did that week.

  547. Barbara says

  567. Dawn G says

    I love seeing your project life updates. I’d love to try this, I think it’s something I can do….just need to get started 🙂

  570. vicki J says

    I seriously love having a spot to put “lifes stuff” and project life has turned out to be a great spot. I am not a daily person.. but when life happens I slide it into a pocket! Love it!

  572. Marissa says

    I love your sentiments on the hair story. I haven’t yet come to terms with that for myself. I’ve always loved my hair and it’s has become a part of my identity (“you know, the girl with the REALLY blonde hair? oh yeah, I know her.) But sometimes I wonder what if I went darker? I like to think that I would be okay with my kids changing their hair. However, my oldest daughter has really blonde super curly hair and I wonder if she one day asked me to cut it all off or dye it black, would I really be able to allow her that freedom of expression?

  573. Koren says

    I’m a very new PLer. I really like your look of adding text to the photos. Think I’m going to try that a bit more.
    Thanks

  585. Melissa S. says

    Thanks for the chance to win these awesome prizes, Cathy! I also agree with you on the hair…I am a mother of teenagers and I am a high school teacher, and hair is definitely something NOT worth arguing about…there are much bigger, more important things to be concerned about. 🙂

  595. Denise C says

    Me please. I love the grid cards and really could use the page protectors.
    Love project life and all that it is!
    Thanks

  597. falwyn says

    Anything I like… I like those grid cards! 🙂 Seriously, I use them all the freaking time, for scrapping, crafting, notes to people, bookmarks, drawing, gift cards… it just goes on and on, it’s crazy! 🙂

  599. Sooz G says

    Love the Project Life concept…and your fabulous shares. Thanks for the continual inspiration…

  602. Carla Hundley says

    Thanks for the chance to win! I’ve been doing Project Life for three years now.

    Carla from Utah

  603. curvedfeather says

    When Nutcracker seats this year are over $220 meaning almost $900 for a family of four, it’s nice to read about a giveaway that will help preserve the memory of attending and a place to gripe for posterity’s sake about cultural access.

    Thanks Cathy!

  604. Chrystal says

    Thanks for the chance to win. I did PL in 2011 but skipped this year and am just doing a “monthly” album. I’m going to try the childhood PL kit next year as my baby turns 1 in November.
