I finally finished a full week of photos! I'm really liking the Project 365 challenge because I am starting to get a sense of what kind of album I'm going to end up with this year. You can sort of see it in this layout—an album full of details, not just the big events and some real insight into what we do as a family.
The one thing that is going to be tricky is keeping the layouts neutral so that the photos shine. I'm using my Distressed White on White papers here. And just to make my life easier, I went ahead and finished out all my layouts ahead of time for the entire month of January so all I have to do is insert the photos and journaling.
One thing I'm noticing is that along with the 365, I want to do pullouts of events. So I created myself 4 layouts for multiple photos that are just for those events (siri's birthday party, ice skating, and sledding). I wanted them to match my 365 layouts, so I used the Distressed White on White papers for them as well.
And if life is crazy, busy (when isn't it?), you can just pick up my new January album (released today at 30% off) and insert your own photos without the hassle of actually making the layout. How easy was that?
I'm just glad that for the rest of January all I'll be doing is snapping photos!

As for me, I'm working on getting together a new instruction pdf for you on how to make my easy-to-make octopus costume. Sounds silly? My six year old does have some silly demands and sometimes her mama gives in. Keep you posted!
