#projectaimee: january part 2

2. I picked this $1 planner up at the target dollar spot {so if I fail there really is no waste} and at the end of the month I am going to go through my phone, pick out my fave photos of the month {only1 photo per day}and print them out at 1.75x1.75 and fill the calendar, then the days/squares that don’t have a photo get some kind of embellishment {this will help me use my stash! Cause god only knows how much I really have} and viola I have documented the month. Nothing fancy I don’t need to document everything that happened, just pretty phots and pretty paper! P.S. I totally stole@this idea from @foreverandaday_create This also allows me to get behind and catch up

 

 

 

 

 

 

#projectaimee: january part 1

From Instagram:

Ok, so I have never been a big #projectlife girl. I mean I LOVE the idea of it but it overwhelms me. In the past I have tried, and I fail. But I love the idea of documenting the year. One year I was really successful and made a book of “instafriday” It basically was 9 of my fave insta photos from the week put into a grid and then printed out on to a 12x12 and slipped into an Album. Easy Peasy. But I like chunky albums with bits + pieces that I have collected throughout the year.
So, then comes in the little summer moments album. I’ve made 2. But living in LA and traveling as much as I do + I am so literal that I don’t know when to start the album, finish the album etc. ugh that’s the part that overwhelms me. Cause you know I can’t start it till the first day of summer, but yet I have been celebrating summer since like March and then my summer goes like all the ways to November. . . See now I’ve overwhelmed you. .

Anyways I was really successful at my #DecemberDaily { I even journaled in it 🤦🏼‍♀️ I know! } and I made a summer album last year that I was really happy with! Now the question was do I create 4 separate albums, like spring, summer, fall + winter? And then I was like, let’s try a mini PL project and name it #projectaimee and there are no rules, well there are always rules but you know what I mean. 🤷🏼‍♀️ I Hope!

So this is the way I am approaching this. I have 2 different different ways.

 

I plan I using this @heidiswapp album {at least I think it’s Heidi Swapp as my other #projectaimeealbum. Just like my DD and the summer album the largest size in this album will be 5x7. Every month I post a #monthlymarker here on ig. So I will print that out and to mark my month! Then any little thing that I feel like adding I will! Instax photos, weather reports, movie ticket stubs and so on. I was thinking of playing along with @paperissues #52favorites but then I had 1 week where I had 3 favorite stories to tell and I kinda freaked 🤦🏼‍♀️ then the next week I didn’t have any to tell, and well 🤷🏼‍♀️ this is where that literal part plays in. How can it be a fave from week 5 when it really was from week 2. See my problem???? 😜
Ok so back to my album. There are no rules except: use my stash!
This album is for all the Starbucks cards I swipe cause I think they are cute. Or the stupid clothing label/tag that I can’t bring myself to throw away {like really why do they have to be so darn cute}. Really I just want a fun chunky little album about me my dog my husband and the crazy things we do! You know to help remind us that our life is really great, on those days that just SUCK! Wow this post was really long winded. It’s so not like me. It’s so not like me to share so much. But hey 👋🏻 I guess I have a lot on my mind and needed to get some of it out! By the way if you made it this far you totally deserve that latte you were thinking about, and hey get the brownie too
