Project Life Week 20 and a lightbulb moment.

Yay for Friday!!  There's one thing I've learned through this Project Life process, it's just that, a process.  I think it will be fun to look back on my pages in December and see how they've changed since January.

Now you know I've been struggling with adding more scrappiness to my layouts since the beginning of this project.  Last week I posted about adding more stuff to my journaling cards. Wednesday night I was working on Week #20 and pulled out one of my index cards and started adding some stuff to it.  Nothing new right?

But then I pulled my journaling cards out and added some scraps to one of them.  AFTER I added my journaling to the cards that's when it dawned on me, THIS is the way to add the scrappy stuff to my albums.  I need to have some pre making journaling and title card making sessions, on a regular basis.  Then when I sit down to do my layouts, the scrappy cards are ready to go.  Why didn't I use the scrappy cards I made from the other day, you ask?  Because I didn't want to waste them.  That and they were all on index cards and I didn't want all the journaling to look the same :)  Am I making sense at all or just rambling?  So just to clarify, I need to add more stuff to my journaling cards and title cards.  Whether they're pre made or ones I've cut out.  All the stuff I've added has been bits and pieces, scraps of things from here and there.  Easy, right?  Right!

You have big plans this weekend?  My parents are watching the girls tomorrow night and Mike and I are going to a friend's birthday party.  His wife has rented a velcro wall!  Should be a good time :)  Other than that, we're just cleaning house, doing laundry and relaxing.  I hope you all have a wonderful Friday and a fantabulous weekend!!!  Thanks for coming by to see me today!
