One of the things that I have done for years in my Project Life Family is Creating A Project Life Monthly Calendar
This calendar not only adds a place for anything extra I want to add throughout the month, but it also is a great place for simply journaling.
I’ve been doing this for years, and I always seem to get questions about this process.
In today’s video, I want to share with you the benefits of adding a calendar each month, along with some simple, yet creative ways you can decorate these calendars.
Adding a simple calendar to your Project Life album can enhance your memory-keeping experience in several ways:
A calendar helps you visually organize your pages, making it easy to track events and moments throughout the year. It provides a clear timeline that simplifies storytelling.
You can even use this calendar to add notes about pages or stories you want to remember to create and add to your album.
Highlight Important Dates
Mark special occasions, birthdays, or anniversaries, making it easy to remember and reflect on the significance of those moments as you look through your album.
This is something that came in handy for my kids’ albums when they were babies. I was able to add when they hit certain milestones.
Capture Everyday Life
A calendar allows you to include everyday details, like school schedules, appointments, or personal milestones.
These seemingly small details can become cherished memories over time. I found this to be true with my kids going through school and the things they are involved.
Kayla was involved in a sporting event for a while and it is awesome to look back at my calendars during that time and see the practice, and game times.
Quick Reference for Journaling
Use the calendar as a quick guide when you’re catching up on journaling or documenting your photos.
It’s a handy tool for recalling events without having to rely solely on memory.
Adds a Fun Design Element
Calendars can be customized to fit your album’s theme, colors, or style. It not only adds a practical element but also enhances the visual appeal of your Project Life pages.
It also allows you to use MORE of your product. Get your stamps out, the chipboard, or word phases and they will work perfectly with your monthly Calendar.
I love using my Ali Edwards stamps on my calendar.
There are so many great uses for adding a calendar to your Project Life Album.
The best thing about this element is it gives extra space for memorabilia or journaling on the back, and the calendars don’t have to be perfect.
