(Don't worry, your eyes are not deceiving you. It IS actually Monday, but we are sharing Project Life a day early due to a fun post scheduled for tomorrow:)
One of the things I love most about Project Life is the ability to change things up each and every week. Each week is a clean slate. Each week is an opportunity to try something new or different as you approach documenting that particular week.
For me, this week was all about SIMPLE. I was inspired by Elise's interview "not to reinvent the wheel" and to just document what went on. Sure, there are weeks were I have more time to be intricate in my Project Life design, and I LOVE looking back on those weeks.
But equally, I LOVE looking back at a week where I know we were really busy, but I still made it a point to document. Sometimes I think we tell ourselves that a busy week must be documented as an abundance of photos/momentos/embellishments/inserts in Project Life. That simply isn't true.
Because of our busy week, I kept it simple with photos and minimal embellishments and tags. I certainly could have spent the time to "add more" embellishments, details, and maybe even an insert. However, I decided what I have here is perfect because it accomplishes my goal of documenting our week. Sometimes done is better than "perfect".
We have a few winners to announce from previous giveaways! Congrats to Emily Mae the winner of Elise's favorite products, and congrats to Laura O'Donnell the winner of our 4/17 Project Life giveaway. Please send an email to info@shopellesstudio.com with the following info:

♥ the reminder that it doesn't have to be "perfect." It's the album as a whole that matters and not ever single little photo.
Love that little chipboard car as well as the screen shot of the texts....I'm so curious and a little excited about tomorrow's fun post!!!
Another awesome week of PL!
Once again, Thank you for your encouragement and support of this wonderful project!
Oh no PL on Monday...my whole week will be thrown of :)
i think we had similar takes on this week. Mine was because I was sick so the camera did not get picked up once. I did not have a single photo for the week but I did have some fun silhouette cameo cuts and lists I wanted to include anyways so that was my week!
I always love seeing what you do! :)
Sometimes done is better than "perfect".
Yes! Thank you for this! Loved your take on your busy week!
Love seeing what you are doing as always!
I was just reading a post by Kelly Rae Roberts regarding "being present" and that seems what Project Life brings to the table - living in the moment.
Great PL post! :)
What you say is true. Have tons of photos and stuff crammed in is not always the goal. I often look back at my favorite weeks and copy those. I use elle' s studio every week now!
awesome! Thanks for the chance to win!
thanks for sharing PL
Project life is such a great idea, wish I didn't already have 25 years of past "life" to catch up on LOL!
I love looking at the project life pages you post. Thanks for sharing.
Your product simply rocks for PL!! Love the inspiration and the sweet pages. Thanks for sharing!
Another great week of PL!!!!
Love your Project Life! Great work!
I agree! Done is better sometimes! I am about a month behind in my PL, but I am still going! Thanks for the inspiration and motivation to keep chugging along!
Oh yess... done is bettere than perfect!
Another great week. I love the calendar. Thanks so much for sharing!
I see all of these amazing albums being shown around the web and sometimes I wonder if mine is "good enough"-- thanks for the encouragement what matters is the stories that are saved!

ITA! There are weeks that I have time to play and then other weeks where I am just happy to get it done. Honestly, I think it gives my album extra character! Thanks for sharing!
Simple is good! And I've never thought scrapbooking had to be "perfect" - just getting memories down on paper is perfect for me. :)
What matters most for this project is documenting; and it's all good anyway, if you do.
another beautiful week. I love "sometimes done is better than perfect" and really need to continue to remind myself of that.
Very inspiring!
I love the simplicity!
Like the use of that little wood veneer on a 2x3 insert!
I think that it's always better to do something rather than to wait for a perfect moment. You could always return to it and add embellishments if you want.
I love a variety of layouts, simple to complex, love the doll aerial shot.
loving the project life idea
Jenni, you always seem to inspire me to work on my album! Thank you!
