After going through my supplies and choosing the papers I want to use for the spread I go through all of my photos using the free Picasa program from Google. It is there I can decide if I want to use a 4x6 of one photo or make mini collages. I take so many photos that it is rare for me not to need to make multiple collages for each layout. Once I have my photos printed I put them in my album in order of date taken.

It is then that I choose what papers go where on my layout. I like to use a kit per spread this year instead of one kit per year. For this spread I enjoyed using the Azure kit from Becky Higgins.

I place my papers where I want them to go and then start trimming any photos that may need trimmed down. I just adore my tiny attacher and use if often in my album. It makes the process go so much faster than using glue and is just so cute.

Once I have my photos trimmed and securely attached to the papers I am then able to start embellishing. I just love tiny alphas and wood veneers so this spread is just up my alley. ;) I usually add washi tape to my spreads but I decided to go without it for this layout.

I love embellishing my spreads with a bunch of different items that add texture and color but do not distract from the photos. I often choose too many fun things to add and have to put some away to not look crazy. lol Here is my completed two page layout.

I hope you enjoyed seeing my process and know that Project Life has no rules...whatever you say goes. I just love that!!!
