Project 365

Yep, I've jumped on the project 365 wagon. I'm still not sure what I've gotten myself into but I'm planning to maintain it for a year. In case you don't know, Project 365 challenges you to take a picture every day for a year and document it in some way. I've chosen to use the Two Peas kit A Day in the Life for my layouts. At first I thought about trying to really make my layouts fancy but then realized I would get burned out of the project if I tried to overthink it. So I'm keeping it really simple and doing lots of journaling. 3 weeks into the project, I am having fun learning new things with my camera and I know we'll love looking back on the little everyday things I've documented. Here are my first 2 weeks layouts. If anyone can help me figure out how to make my pictures clickable to expand larger, I would love it. For the life of me I can't figure it out!

Week 1:

Week 2:




(PS - when I have the book printed and bound, the layouts will be side by side and you'll read left to right, which is why the days look really screwy on my layouts in this format!)

I love it! I'm jealous yours are scrapped. I wish I had time for that. And I love the pictures you've taken.

You are so on the ball to be able to do this! What a cool thing for your family to have to remember your day to day - I love it! And I really hope you figure out how to make the pictures bigger because I want to read all the journaling!!!

Love the look of your layouts!! You're doing a great job staying on top of things! :o)

When you type your blog entry, you have to make sure you do it and insert your pictures in the "Edit HTML" tab. If you do it that way, then you can click on the pictures and make them bigger. If you do it under "compose" you can't click on them. I hope that works!

Thank you so much Erin! It works! You still can't read the journaling very well! Sorry!

How fun that you are doing this project Monique! What a great way to remember this year! I love the 2peas kit, also!

You are so inspiring, ambitious and all around amazing! Cute, cute pages and pictures! How do you like your new camera?

Kristi said...

You'll be so glad you did this. Loved looking at them - now you need to teach me the trick for allowing your photos to enlarge. Sometimes mine do, and sometimes they don't. Which is so odd, because I always load them into the blogger the same way.

Anyway, the layouts are fab, and I loved your journaling. :)
