Project 365 has now become Project 12

I gave it a good try - taking a picture every day for a year but at about May I really started falling behind. So I decided to summarize each month instead. I'm still behind but this is much less overwhelming and easier to catch up on. Over the last few weeks I have completed March, April & May. This is just a sampling to show what I've been working on.

Alton's Pre-School Programs

Oma

A one picture layout - I have definitely changed my opinion of one picture layouts over the last year. I actually like them now. I think it allows me to tell a story and capture a memory more effectively.

Christmas 2008 - Review

After doing so many Christmas pages lately, this time I wanted to just summarize all the December activities in one layout - it is also a way to catch up a little and help not burn me out on this holiday.
This layout design was inspired by a sketch in CK magazine.

Red Hair

I've been wanting to post a layout about Alton's red hair for a while. I do notice lately that I get more satisfaction out of completing every day moments than holidays & events lately. I'd like to try and do more of these and use some neat sketches I've found on the internet recently....maybe even some "Sassy Sketches". :)

These papers are from the first kit I got from SD4U KOTM club in October. It is the Bloom & Grow kit and I just love the colors. Pictures never do it justice. Layout is from a sketch from Scrapbook Generations Sketch Book #3. I completed this at the crop I went to last Friday.

Alton in a Cap

I actually did this for a sketch challenge from SD4U Sketch Challenge #49. It will be my first challenge to participate in. I hope to get it on there in time to be eligible to win a prize in the drawing.

Paper and embellishments from my KOTM kit from December.

2008 Christmas Layouts

I know, I know I just posted a bunch of Christmas layouts recently, but that was from 2007. I am now doing Christmas 2008. I've discovered that I tend to make double page layouts for events and do single page for everyday moments. I think I will continue this format as it seems to work for me and what also works best is using Scrapbook Generations Sketch Book Volume 3 for the 2 page layouts. I resort to this sketchbook frequently and have used almost every sketch in the book so I went ahead and purchased Volume 4 the other day.

Layout was done using a sketch from Scrapbook Generations sketch book. I used embellishments from my SD4U kit club.
