Capture your excitement, make a DIY card, and document a hobby challenges from Pocket Your Year 2016

I did 3 challenge items on this two page spread. The first challenge, capture your excitement was completed with the pictures about my Awesome Ladies Project scrapbook sleepover crop layouts. I just got these pictures and the pictures to put on the ALP pages last week. Putting the finishing touches on the ALP pages made me excited to document the process of making the pages, which inspired doing the pages for these two weeks. Since they are pictures of scrapbooking, I am also capturing a hobby. Two hobbies, if you count buying scrapbook supplies as its own hobby ;-).

None of the cards on these two pages are premade. I used RUKRISTIN's new Awesome Ladies Project line, cutting the paper to the sizes I wanted and using the scraps and white cardstock to make the last few cards (I could have used white cardstock and the stamps from the line to make the last few cards also, but I wanted to use the scraps). I used some of her title stickers on the main journaling card and label stickers on some of the other cards to journal on. I like the way these turned out and I'm glad I finally used the page protectors with 4x4 slots that I bought a while back.

Using dates or times in your journaling challenge for Pocket Your Year 2016

I have been including both the date the pictures where taken and the date I journal as I've been creating my photo collages with journaling in my Project Life app. This way I know if I journaled right away or if there is a bit of time between when I journal and when the pictures were taken, since sometimes I say different things when time has passed as opposed to journaling right away.

Document now, create later challenge for Pocket Your Year 2016

I am so happy that the Project Life app finally became available for the Android platform. I haven't been scrapbooking a whole lot lately, for a variety of reasons, but I have been using the Project Life app to create photo collages and usually journal at the time I'm creating the collage in one of the boxes. At least I'll have the journaling and photo selection done when I am able to scrapbook more.
