Do we have any Project Life fans in the house?

Project Life is HUGE this year — so huge that Amazon.com had sold-out of some of the key pieces of the system. (Amazon does all of the fulfillment for Becky Higgins, creator of Project Life.)

Our product stalking update for today is that many / most of the key products from Project Life have arrived TODAY at Amazon.com and their online store is being updated continually throughout the day to reflect those new shipments and availability of those products.

The below key Project Life products are back in-stock at Amazon (for the moment)…

• Project Life: Photo Pocket Pages Big Variety Pack 1
• Project Life: 6×12 Page Protectors
• Project Life: Big Envelope Pages
• Project Life: Scrapbook Dividers

The below key Project Life products are DUE back in-stock today at Amazon, though at the time of this blog post writing are not yet officially showing up in the system…

• Project Life: 3×4 Grid Journaling Cards
• Project Life: Photo Pocket Pages Big Variety of Design A

The “fun” parts of the Project Life system, including the various printed card options that make up the “core kit” have not experienced the availability issues this year that the page protectors and organizer have ….  The Clementine Core Kit, Binder & Cardstock as well as the same for the Cobalt edition, the Amber edition, and  the Turquoise edition are all in-stock.

What IS Project Life?

Now, if you’ve been living under a rock and don’t know what all the hoop-la is about, here’s an image and a video from Becky Higgins’ website explaining what  it’s all about

The below 5 minute video is great, but if you’re in a hurry and want to get to the part that’s all about Project Life, then fast forward to about 2:49

Like so many others in the paper crafting community, are YOU doing Project Life? If so, what tips do you have to share? What other products or tidbits are you including in your project?
