Hi everyone! It’s Carly here today to share a new project I’m doing for 2015. I love to document “currently” lists. These lists include things like what I’m listening to or reading right now, what I’ve been wearing at the moment, if I have any small wants or needs, things I’ve been enjoying or wondering about, and so on. I always thought these little lists were such a wonderful way to document what life looks like right now in a quick snapshot.
So for 2015 I thought I’d keep an album just dedicated to these currently lists. My plan is that every month I will write out a list of all the things I’m currently doing and include it in this album with a small collection of photos. Some months I might journal more if needed, but for the most part the album is going to be kept pretty simple with just my currently lists and photos.
I started my album by using the twenty fifteen journal card as my title page and the Hello 6×8 paper printed on vellum from the Let’s Go (6×8 papers and overlay) kit. However, before I printed out the Hello paper I used the eraser tool in Photoshop to erase any words in the center of the page so that the twenty fifteen title would show through.
The next page in my album holds my January currently list and the start of my January photos. Even though I don’t tend to use lots of embellishments on my pages, I do love to dress them up with word art or digital brushes, and one of my most favourite word art kits is the Loved + Other Sentiments kit.
I also used the 4×6 layered 2015 Calendar Title Cards on one of my photos to help show that my currently list and photos are all to document that particular month.
Even though I’m only one month into this project I’m absolutely loving it, and it just might end up being one of my favourite documenting projects of the year!
How about you, are you doing any new documenting projects for 2015? If so, I’d love to hear what you have planned?

Oh my! this is brilliant and just plain rocks! I love the idea of a currents album and your work is so inspiring and beautiful.
Thank you so much Susan for the kind words. xo
Such a fun and clever title page…s!
I hope to do something similar with a monthly “10 things” list for each of my kiddos…but in a bound (v. bindered) book. So fun to take a little inspo from this 🙂 Your projects are always on point.
Love the idea of a kids 10 things list!! That would make such an amazing keepsake.
Carly! I feel like a broken record, but this is just so beautiful. I saw Stephanie Bryan posted her January album so far and I love the inclusion of things outside of the plastic page protectors. I’m thinking I need to do the same. I love the little bit of texture. It invites you to experience the album, I think. Is that weird? I think I’ve been cooped up too long 😉 xo
Hi Catherine! Isn’t Stephanie’s album amazing!!! I do too love that she’s got so much texture to her pages and she does it so well!!:)
This is perfect. I love the concept of this idea and an amazing memory keeper!
xo!
This is stunning! Love the simplicity. Do you mind sharing where you bought your binder? Thanks for the inspiration!
I also want to know about the binder!! I’m swooning over here!
Hi Niesha, thanks so much for the lovely comment. The binder is from Studio Calico.
[…] 2015, Carly Robertson (over at Paislee Press) is documenting through “currently” lists. Love […]
YOU are so inspirational Carly.
You are always the sweetest commenter! Thank you Amy! xo
