I'm hoping to see some examples of Project Life book covers that you all have done. Now that 2015 is coming to a close, I'm hoping to finish up my PL book for the year. I always get stumped when it comes to making a cool cover! Spam me with photos, kits you've used, any inspiration! I would be most appreciative. :bk
 
This was my cover for 2014. I'm going to keep up with the same pattern for 2015.

That is very cool! I love the collage feel. I did that last year. I might try to go with a little more white space. Was hoping to find some inspiration on Pinterest, but it wasn't all that great.
 
Here's mine from last year (technically still this year, apparently I've mentally moved on to 2016 already)....

I plan on doing something similar this year with having lots of white space. I had problems in previous years with my designs being off center when I got my book printed. Lots of white space took care of that problem. I'll print three times in 2015 and I've used the same cover each time with a new (current) photo. Not sure if I'll do a photo this year or not though.

This is GREAT! I love the white space. It looks like Just Jaimee stuff too, of which I have a LOT! Thank you!
 
Wow! Beautiful! So much work went into that cover, it's a shame you didn't finish it. Maybe 2016 is your year?
 
I print two months at a time, and have average of 40 pages in each book. I like to keep a theme thru each year. This is this years:

I flip the page for the date on the spine, and just use the plain paper for the back cover

last year I did this series and only changed the tape for the months, but they all look the same from the spine, so I wanted to go bolder this year
 
My 2015 covers:
front...

back...

I just updated the month cards (from MPM: Almanac) for each quarter and used the same cover for all 4 quarter books
 
I love having the same cover idea, Anne, and only having to change the tape! Brilliant!

I have made a few covers... I have another one that I'll be able to post soon! :) Covers are fun for me... I actually like scrapping without photos I realized.
