Okay, so raise your hand if you started Project 365 with me last year but quit after a month or so. Yes, I never finished. I LOVED the concept but it was way too much for me. And the kids LOVED looking at the photos in the album. Man, I let them down! Anyway, did any of you complete it? Wow, I would love to know if you did! So amazing if you were able to keep it up!
Well, as I said, I loved the concept; however, a picture a day with journaling was just too much. I have thought this year I might like to try Project 52. I can take a photo a week and journal what I want about that week. That MAY not be too much. I pray not! LOL! I think it is such a great idea, and I even found a great idea by Crystal (ScrappinAKA) on 2Peas. She said "It is awesome because I didn't just do pictures but also in place of some pics I did receipts, memorabilia from an event that day, scans of my sons artwork from school. Just stuff I want to remember from each day." Now what a cool idea! She DID complete Project 365. I like using her idea even for Project 52!
Of course there are many ideas all over the web (blogs and forums) for completing Project 365 or a Project 52. Becky Higgins has one called Project Life and is selling a kit. Scrapbook Graphics had a Project 365 for 2009 with free digi templates. I am not sure if they are doing it again this year but the 2009 challenge may be a good reference for you. Simple Stories by Memory Works has a Life Documented kit that you could use. I am going to use the same format I set up for 2009 using my Basic Grey papers with my We R Memory Keepers album and divided pages. I just cut the beautiful Basic Grey paper into 4x6 sheets, and then I stamped beautiful edges and the dates for each journaling sheet. I really like what I created for the short time I did this last year thus I will give it a try again. Here is how I started 2009:
Wow, now looking back on my photos, I am really sad I didn't stick with it. Let's see if I can stick with Project 52! So, what will you be doing? Have a blessed day!
