Scrapdreams 365

I need some constructive feedback - click to my Project 365 site and tell me which version of the Jan 11-17 layout you prefer and why. Thanks!

Jan 11-17 re-do

I just wasn't happy with the colors on the original version. Compare them and tell me (honestly) what you think. I need some constructive feedback.

Another One!

I LOVE this photo of Jay & the girls so much. I posted it before (just the photo) on my scrapdreams365 blog, but I felt it was truly worthy of full layout. Plus it gives me more opportunity to practice techniques. I'm really loving the "burn" tool right now to make the edges of paper darker, it gives the layout so much more depth.

So what do you think????

January 4-10

Well, another week is done! This one qualifies for both Project 365 and my Wednesday Challenge on Now We're Rockin' with Jessica Sprague. Credits: all papers and elements are from the Carnival kit from Sweet Shoppe Designs. Template from M Originals. Title font is "Destroy".

Thoughts on Project 365

I've quickly come to the realization that actually taking a photo a day, much less posting them, is simply not going to happen in my life on any regular basis. But I'm not abandoning Project 365! Instead of a photo assigned to each day, I am shooting for 5-7 photos a week. It may be that I take 3 or 4 photos that I want to include in a single day and then don't take any photos for 2 or 3 days. I've decided that's okay. I'm still documenting everyday life and if the photo doesn't match up to a number on the calendar, that is perfectly fine by me!

My plan is to put each of the chosen photos into a weekly one or two page layout and then have the whole batch printed as a photobook at the end of the year. Here's my first completed layout. This is the type of layout I can put together on my own without Jessica Sprague over my shoulder!

NWR Week 2 layout

This one took a little less time - the most time-consuming task was finding the JB font online - and actually I thought there was a specific font for the Burning Up Tour, but couldn't find anything or I might have titled this layout differently. It is definitely getting easier and WOW - it sure is simple to size a photo right digitally - not so much once you've printed it out. I'll be making multiple copies of this one so each girl can have a copy for their albums.
