2.0 out of 5 stars Overall looks good, but should have looked closer before buying February 12, 2010

I was so excited about this way of scrapbooking, my friend sent me the link. It seemed to be perfect for me as I had already determined I was going to scrapbook this way, using the page protectors with slots.
It was a significant cash outlay, but after reading all the rave reviews I decided to go for it. I have a new baby and thought it would be so helpful to use this to document her first year.
Once I received it and looked more closely at the slots I was very dissapointed, all the picture slots are for horizontal photos. What am I supposed to do with all the vertical photos I have? With a baby there are a fair amount of pics that are vertical so you can get their whole body in the shot...mostly to show off the latest outfit somebody sent her.

Now I have to supplement this kit with other products to accomodate those photos and they don't have the right slots for the thousands of journaling cards they include in the kit, so I'll have to make my own. Back to the sitting and finding the right paper, matching colors, cutting out..etc...this is turning out to be another big task and I was so looking forward to being able to create something great with a minimal effort! So bummed and it was so expensive I could have done better buying things separately and putting it together.

Quality of product is good, one note is that they packaged the product really nicely, but bent the page protectors when they put them in the book and shrink wrapped them, so now they don't lay flat.

5.0 out of 5 stars This product ROCKS!! January 22, 2010

By Chikonabike

I LOVE Project Life! It makes documenting everyday life and all the celebrations that go with it so much easier and way less time consuming than traditional scrap-booking. I think of it as a cross between a photo album and a creatively made scrapbook. While it has elements of a scrapbook in the colorful journaling cards and dividers, the format gives you the simplicity of an album. Once you set it up, all you have to do is slip your pictures in the slots and add a note for each. If you like to add more of your own touches, it allows for that as well. This truly has changed the way I record my memories and I find that I'm more vigilant about that now, because this kit makes it so easy. Thanks, Becky Higgins!!

3.0 out of 5 stars Good concept, but the execution could be better September 23, 2010

By C. W. Kuder

The concept for this album is great, but as I've been using it throughout the year I have developed opinions that are less than stellar. First, I found the colors used to be difficult to work with. Orange, lime green and yellow are by far my least favorite colors and somewhat hard to coordinate with photos. I think the journaling cards are too busy as well. I have found myself wanting things more simplistic with more subtle graphics. There are journal cards that fold in half and have a tab to pull out on top, but realistically those cards can only be used in certain spots (right hand side of page) because of the way the slots are made. I also think the quality of the album isn't terrific as I'm pulling it on and off the shelf every week to work on photos it has begun to show a lot of wear. As far as getting an album together quickly, this certainly answers that call. I just wish the execution had been a little more timeless/universal.
