I opened up the Bamboo Paper app (discussed above). Then emailed it to myself and saved it to my iPad photo album. *Update* – I designed a simple Project Life Design A planner in Photoshop and saved the jpeg file. It’s an easy and cool way to incorporate some handwriting. I also think it would be pretty cool to just print out the photo with handwritten notes on it for my Project Life album as well. I ordered the Wacom Bamboo Solo Stylus last night so I can write and draw more easily on my iPad. You can do the same things I did above, using Penultimate. It also integrates with Evernote, which I use extensively for organizing everything from recipes, scrapbooking assignments, and my stamp collection. It is the best selling handwriting app for taking handwritten notes. I also downloaded the Penultimate app for 99 cents. I love the versatility of being able to plan some pages and take some notes while on the go! Once in Evernote, I tag it with “Project Life” so I can find all my Project Life notes very easily. Once you’re done with each note, just save it to your Photo Album on the iPad, or you can also email it to yourself, or save it into Evernote. Here I planned out my page and jot down some notes. You can also draw and write, just as if it’s a paper notebook. You can put photos onto the pages and scratch out a date and some notes. I found the Bamboo Paper app and it’s FREE! It’s a digital notebook where you can write notes in it with a stylus or your hand. Once the photos are in my Photo Stream on my iPad, I discovered two ways to make notes about the photo. It is the easiest and most automatic way I know of to get photos from your iPhone or iPad to each other, and also to the computer.

If you take a lot of photos with your iPhone, you can use Apple’s iCloud Photo Stream to sync up your photos on your iPhone, iPad, and your computer. I’m always looking for ways to improve my process or make things easier. I know many of you are starting Project Life (or continuing with it). I discovered a couple of iPad apps yesterday that I’m excited to share with you. *UPDATE #2* - Evernote has decided to update Penultimate and make it completely free now! And it syncs with Evernote. *UPDATE* – please scroll to bottom of post for update and free template download for use in Bamboo Paper on iPad.
