Project Life Week 1

So yes, I decided to try a Project Life.  Last year I took a number of daily photos and used some of them in my regular albums but this year I hope to compile them all into a Project Life album.  Will I stick with it?  Who knows, hope so.  I have to admit, I was intimidated by doing a Project Life - much like Mini Albums or even 12 X 12 layouts (I used to do 8 1/2 X11)  used to intimidate me.  But if I didn't just jump in and do it, my photos would once again, be nicely organized on my computer and no where else.  So I jumped in, or more like eased myself in - not a lot of layers, die cuts, stamping, doodads and such - just got my first week photos into pages.  Using the Echo Park Photo Freedom papers made this very easy.  I am happy with the pages as the journaling to me is what it is all about.  Although I won't lie,  they look kind of plain to me - they need some layers and oomph.  I am pretty sure that if, as I continue my album and I become more comfortable with it, my pages will take somewhat of a different turn.  I am ok with that.  It is all about documenting life - and my progress in that is part of that life ;)
