Hi everyone, it’s Carly here to share a few of my February project life pages with you. This year I made the switch back to a 12×12 binder from the smaller 6×8 handbook size and so far I am loving the larger format once again!

One of the main reasons why I decided to go back to a 12×12 binder is because this year I am including all of my documenting into one book. Whether I create an 8.5×11 scrapbook page or a 12×12 project life layout, it’s all going into this book.

What I really like about keeping everything in one book, and not restricting myself to just creating 12×12 pocket pages, is that I feel completely creatively free. If I want to document a story or even an entire month review on an 8.5×11 page I will and having that flexibility has made documenting this year stress-free and fun.

My original plan was to only use the Design A photo page pockets thinking it would be easier and of course create a more consistent look throughout my binder, but when I decided to be just flexible with my 2015 documenting I opted to use whichever photo page pocket that fit with the pictures I was documenting. So far I’ve been switching it up a lot and using Design H, I and K, in addition to the traditional Design A.

For me, creating a documenting system that is flexible, simple and yet still allows me to express myself creatively is key if I am going to be successful at keeping it up. I’m a big believer in finding an approach that works best for you and being open to changing it if it ever starts to feel like it’s not working anymore.
