Hi everyone! It's April again. I'm back to share my approach to pocket life for 2014 as well as share my first week using the January PL, PL Embellie, and Main Embellie kits!
I had been getting bored with my current 2013 format as of late, so like many others, I was considering switching it up for 2014. There are just so many options when it comes to size, format, etc, that would make it different (and therefore, a little more "fun") for me, but when it came down to it, I needed to stick with a system that would work consistently for me.
That being said, I decided to stick with my 2013 approach. It's just what works for me. I'll be doing a 12"x12" format with a two page spread for each week using Design F page protectors. The small differences in 2014 are:
I'm actually not sure what I was thinking when I planned this page and when I actually started putting it all together. I meant for this first week to be a short week: Jan 1-5. I even stamped my week card Jan 1 - Jan 5! But somehow, I incorporated the full week (which included Dec 30 and 31)... and I didn't even realize I did this until after the spread was complete! (I may go back and re-do this spread completely, but we'll see!)
Some close-up shots:
In case you were wondering, I haven't done a title page for my 2014 album yet. It'll most likely be the last thing I do for my album (I still don't even have any title/end pages for my 2013 albums)!
Thanks for stopping by!

- I definitely won't be doing a "week in review" card like I did in 2013 - I always dreaded writing those out.
- I'm going to try to incorporate more fun elements like stitching and die cuts.
- Hopefully, I'll be able to incorporate more of my husband's voice on my spreads.
