Hey ladies! I have gone back and forth (and back and forth again) on what to do abt PL. I could not figure out a way to do PL without finding myself 'overscrapped' e.g. a two-page spread for every week + regular layouts. I also did not want to have separate albums for PL + regular layouts + December Daily.

Then I thought, 'Duh.'

I will just do one PL page every week and just stick them right alongside my regular layouts in the album I print at the end of the year

That way, I get to do PL, and it will be just enough so that every week is scrapped a little, but still leave stories for me to scrap 'regularly.'

I know, right?! It seems so simple, but I've been struggling all this time because I felt like I 'had' to have a two page spread for every week and I 'had' to have a separate PL album.

I'm missing one picture, and then I'll have both pages done and be caught up.

That's all. :giggle
 
That's totally what I'm doing too LeeAndra! Well, sort of. I will have all my kids individual books, but all the regular layouts I scrap that are of the family will be right in with my PL pages. I get bored just doing PL style pages, so I do them up however I want freestyle too. :)
 
I do 2 page spreads because I take a lot of pictures, so when I want to do a layout, and I don't that often, to be honest, I either make it a 12x12 page opposite a PL page protector, or I do it as an insert. I've been doing 8.5x11 and 8x8 inserts. This is what I love about PL: it's totally adaptable and adjustable.
 
I do the same too as far as the album-1 a year with everything in it. I do my PL in as many pages as it takes, sometimes it's one, others three or four and I am fine with that.
 
I switched to just 1 page PL spreads this go around and i think it's perfect! no stress!
 
So for those of you who add in the inserts....do the make 8x8 page protectors that fit the PL binders?
 
I only do one page a week for project life. I also scrap for my kids albums so they get pages that are not project life in their books. I do print up a 52 page book at the end of the year. Been doing it for 4 years now going on year 5.
