“Life in a BOX – Scrapping your Daily Life inside the Box”
January 15, 2013
Hello everyone! I would like to introduce “Life in a BOX – Scrapping your Daily Life Inside the Box.” I am really excited as I wanted a way to scrap as MANY or as FEW photos as I wanted during the week. Some days you have more than one photo you would like to scrap, and some days you don’t have any. This takes all the pressure off HAVING to take a photo a day, and yet leaves the versatility to scrap any or all of your daily photos each week. Also, the template squares are GREAT for Instagram users!
In addition, adding quotes and embellishments, marking dates, and recording journaling is super easy and fun using our “Simple Squares.” *Simple Squares are all-done-for-you boxes that fit right into the squares on the templates. They include embellishments, journaling options, paper blocks, date & Month labels, quotes, etc. All you have to do is drag and drop them into the blank squares on your template and your layout is finished! I am planning on releasing several sets of Simple Squares each month throughout the year!
So, you take a very basic template of squares, add photos, add a couple Simple Squares, journal, and you are done! Super easy and simple, but there is still room for fun, versatility and creativity. 🙂
Check it out:
.
I created the template sets in both 8.5×11 and 12×12 sizes, and then several versions of each:
~Kraft paper or white paper backgrounds
~With or without White Photo Border
~Small or large Squares (range of 6-16 total photos)
~With or without Shadows
~Choose from templates with all squares, or
variations with horizontal or vertical options.
They are all included in these two sets available in 8.5×11 and 12×12 in the shoppe:
.
And here are a few layouts I have made with the templates and Simple Squares 🙂
.
Ok, that is all for now! I will be adding Simple Squares and other Journal Cards to the shoppe often, so watch for those 🙂 Let me know what you think and I will pick a couple of you ladies to win a set of templates to get you started!
Hope you have a great week!!

January 15, 2013 at 6:14 pmI love this concept. It really seems to simplify scrapping the days/weeks/months.
LeAnn
January 15, 2013 at 6:18 pmOh my word! You will not believe this. I had already planned on doing squares this year. I had already started making my own templates. So, yes, yes, YES!!! This is exactly what I had in mind!!! Not surprising since this will be my 5th book with WW Project Life stuff. (not that I finished 2009 or 2012 yet – but I will) Crossing fingers . . . hoping to win. 🙂 It is honestly like you read my Project Life scrapping mind!!

January 16, 2013 at 3:02 amI am so glad you like it and was what you wanted this year 🙂

January 15, 2013 at 6:24 pmThese are fantastic. I had visited the shop recently to see what was new for this year. I was hoping everything was okay with you when I didn’t see new “stuff,” so I am glad to see this.. As always, your work is fantastic and FUN. I LOVE the squares and the mix-and-match concept. All your little “in the box” extras finish the pages off perfectly.

Dolores
January 16, 2013 at 11:40 amI often have trouble with square photos since I don’t plan for them when I take pictures. But your layouts are awesome so I’m going to give it a try! Love the Simple Squares!
Melissa
January 16, 2013 at 5:58 pmGina, I absolutely adore these! I love the clean and simple look to them. Every year you blow me away with your creativity. Thank you so much for creating such a great way to preserve our precious family memories.
KellyS
January 17, 2013 at 9:42 amGina I love the new layout idea! So simple but each page can be so different based on the picture size you choose and the squares added. This will also make scrapping Instagram pictures a breeze! Wonderful as always Gina!
Stephanie
January 17, 2013 at 6:42 pmJust what I need to get back into scrapping!!! Are you doing a bundle deal or do we need to buy pieces separately?
GinaMarie
January 23, 2013 at 2:08 amStephanie, I am putting lots of Simple Square sets in the shoppe periodically so I wasn’t planning on bundling the templates with them at this time.. thanks 🙂
Laura
January 17, 2013 at 6:47 pmJust love it! I did paper 365 for 2012 and I am headed back toxicity for 2013 ! This system is awesome!
Martha Lindsay

January 17, 2013 at 8:41 pmI have Instagrams I took every day last year, but hadn’t decided how to scrapbook them. Now I know! love this system :0)
Cyranoscrap
January 17, 2013 at 8:44 pmI’ve moved to digi for Project Life, so this new system is great – give me some variety. Love it!
Bonnie
January 17, 2013 at 10:57 pmJust love these… I bought life 365 a few years ago, and still use it. Altho, the year I bought it, it turned out to be more like life 159 🙂
I love your style, and I am going to need even easier to document scrapbooking as my second grandchild is on the way:) So this is awesome timing, how did you know?:)
iSSa
January 17, 2013 at 11:02 pmFinally, an easy system that newbie me can truly work with! ^__^ Simple, clean, and versatile to boot! Thank you Gina for coming up with this. I’m not a good digi-scrapper but loves to record each and every moment of my family’s life so Life-in-a-Box will be truly be helpful to me 🙂 Now I can get on making those darn yearly photobooks! And yes, I’m gonna use this system for the past years I have not yet finished a photobook. I think I’m about 3 years behind, LOL! I always give up mid-year but this year, by the grace of my creative juices and Life-in-a-Box, I will finish ^__^
Cindy
January 18, 2013 at 12:51 amThis looks perfect for my Instagram photos. I am trying to do a photo a day, but I am bound to blow it eventually. lol
Michelle
January 18, 2013 at 5:06 amI hadn’t even considered doing a purely digital layout before seeing this design package. Lovely, simple and quick it’s what we strive for.
Meta Meulenbelt
January 18, 2013 at 8:35 amI started with a new P365 book for this year, with all the templates/QP’s you created last year (bought the complete set at DSD). It’s the third book, I make them every other year. What I love about your work is that it’s not only very nice to use for a P365 (or similar) kind of album, but also for the year albums I scrap for my kids. I love templates with many photo openings on it, so I can scrap holidays or other venues where I have lots of pictures of, in a few pages. Thank you for that, and for another creative scrap solution!
Kathy
January 18, 2013 at 4:26 pmWhat I would LOVE to see are a few HOLIDAY themed sets…I know you don’t usually do them but maybe one for each month? Loved the 365 and am still using them (sorry…didn’t like the graphic ones as much….just not my typical style). Think this will be a great new way to start of 2013! Guess I’ll have to see how the squares work out…sure I can think make it work! Thanks again!
Christy
January 18, 2013 at 6:52 pmThese are great – love the versatility! Those little box cards are so cute too!
Anna
January 18, 2013 at 7:06 pmThese are soooo cute! Really like how everything co-ordinates and makes it simple. Makes me want to get scrapping for 2013 & work on what I missed last year too. Thanks for sharing your creativity with us.
Maca
January 22, 2013 at 5:55 amWooow Gina, I totally love them. They are so clean and simple, perfect for starting my daily life 2013. And of course your great photos in templates, I have no words – it looks amazing! Thank you for a chance!

Jennifer K
February 4, 2013 at 5:19 pmLove these!! Sign me up for it all. LOL! Definitely going to add some to my wish list! Love the flexibility, as I’m not so disciplined to take a photo every day, but I love layout systems that are good for gathering many photos together easily.
Anja
February 16, 2013 at 3:49 amLooooove, loooove, loooove them! <3 They look so easy and cclean and it semms easy to focus on the main part… photos and the story behind them. And I just can take as many – or as less – pics as I want. Congrats to this faboulus idea.
