1 week down, 51 to go...

Because I didn't have enough unfinished projects, I am starting a Project 365 album. I learned about this idea a couple of years ago and thought there was no way I could handle a project where I had to print a picture for each day. Maybe if I had a photo printer at home...but I don't. Project 12 has been my compromise and I love it, but I still like the idea of capturing a photo daily. So then I start hearing about and seeing other people's albums...

Janet runs her album from birthday to birthday instead of Jan 1- Dec 31...love that idea. Starting/ending at the holidays just seems so overwhelming! 

Then Kayla shared with me a couple of layouts that Heather did for her album - a digital 365 album. I saw her layouts, pestered her with questions (Jill, too) and was convinced I could do this!

I wanted to have some sort of title for the first page...had a good one till I realized next year has an extra day...then Jen helped me come up with "Leaping into 36!"

So here is my first layout, only 51 more to go until I bind all of them together into an album!  
Supplies:
Erica Zane Templates 12
Crystal Wilkerson Spring/Summer 2011
Crystal Wilkerson Banner Templates
Carina Gardner A Year of Rubons
Carina Gardner 365 Number Stamps

Thanks to all that have helped me get this project started!

One Fun Summer Day {Crystal Wilkerson: Spring/Summer 2011}

Today is the first day of a new project for me! Janet inspired me to start a 365 album on my birthday, and Heather's digital 365 pages inspired me to try this project all digital. This time next year, I'll be sending off all of my pages to be bound into a hardcover book. Can't wait!!

So, I've been playing with templates some to get used to having a new layout each week. I got this free template from Crystal Wilkerson's new site and took advantage of a 50% off sale this weekend to buy some new goodies :-)
I know I've already scrapped these pictures before (just scroll down for the paper version) but I love them and wanted to play with the digital aspect without having to find more pictures and edit them! I can't wait to get my first week documented and share it here next week :-)
