Hello.

I'm Kim, and I've been a long time lurker, first time poster. I got into digi scrapping a few months ago and I'm obsessed. I'm still doing a lot of learning (looking through the gallery is really humbling, let me tell you), and mainly focus on Project Life templates at the moment.

For the longest time I tried doing week by week templates, but often times too much happened or too little happened, and cramming them all in was no fun at all. Now I do project life templates, but do a page for the important things that happen and go month by month. It's a weird way to do PL I guess, but it works for me.

Anyways, I'm 24 (I just turned 24, so I keep typing 23 -.-) and live in Pennsylvania (in between Philly and NYC). Life kinda took a downward turn for me (I lived in NM for 8 months for work, then lost my job), but scrapping it out has really helped me.

Anyways, I look forward to getting to know you guys and sharing some of my layouts.

<3 Kim
 
Welcome to TLP Kim.

I don't do my PL layouts as a weekly overview either. I love that it can be totally adjusted to the memory keeper.

I can't wait to see your layouts! I'm always looking for inspiration.
 
Welcome to the Pad!

Whatever works best for you is the best way to do it! It's more important to be able to stick with it than it is to conform to someone else's idea of what it should be!
 
Welcome Kim! Glad you decided to de-lurk. :giggle I do a monthly PL spread too and then fill in the rest with regular layouts. I love that we can do whatever works for our scrapbooks and that everyone does their memory keeping in their own way!
 
Welcome to TLP, Kim. Glad to have you here!
You're right, scrapping really is great therapy. It's also fun to share your work and see what others are doing. I look forward to seeing your PL. I think the monthly format is so cool!
 
waving from new mexico! Welcome to the pad, and enjoy, I am so glad you have delurked! tee hee
 
Welcome Kim! Looking forward to seeing your pages in the gallery.
 
Hi there Kim from another Anne.....I'm across The Pond in the UK (Wales to be exact!)

Have fun here at the pad and I look forward to seeing your layouts. :)
 
Welcome! Scrapping your PL any which way that works for you is what's important. I started doing weekly pages and then fell behind and started having trouble taking enough pics that I thought would be interesting for my PL pages. I gave up. So now, like you, I am just going to do pages when I feel like it, when there is something I want to document. There's no rules for PL. Do whatever works for you. Glad you came out of lurkdom!
 
Welcome! I think it's great that you have tweaked PL to work for you. I just do a one-page spread for each week because I have a hard time remembering to take enough photos for a two-pager! Look forward to seeing your pages in the gallery.
 
Welcome Kim! Glad you're speaking up! And I agree- PL/scrapping/making things is seriously good therapy. If I don't make art I go crazy...
(sidenote- I read that you just turned 24, and I thought for half a second- sweet! she's like my age... then I realized, nope. I just turned 34. Ah, good times... my brain is stuck at 24 apparently.)
 
Welcome to The Pad, Kim! It's amazing how documenting our story helps us along the way...it certainly does for me. Looking forward to seeing your work! :beat
