Scrap booking- My best of "Project Life", 2010, or "Project 365" as it was called last year.

I did Becky Higgins Project 365 last year (see also Project 365, 2009 ) and loved it so much I did her Project Life this year. It's one of the ways I do scrap booking. It means taking a picture for every day of the year. I am planning to do it again next year and the next. Maybe I will do it forever because I love it so much and I don't put too much pressure on myself. If I get behind. I just take a few days and take some pictures to make up for it. I used my The ABC's of the Bryce Family  challenge to use up days I missed also. I have already posted most of my best pictures of the year, but I will post here a few more of my favorites from Project Life, 2010.

I had a friend ask me how I was doing the journaling, so I thought I would explain. I have built myself a power point template that I use over and over again. I simply print my journaling for six cards on a piece of paper and then adhere my 6 cards to it with 2 sided photo splits and trace around the corners. Then I send it through the computer again, it prints on the cards this time. I carefully pull off the cards leaving the photo split "stickies" (as I call them). I then retype my next 6 journaling cards on my template leaving them in the same place, put my next six card back on that same paper and send them through the computer. I can do 4 or 5 months worth of journaling in one day! I also like to embellish my journaling cards with a few extra stamps that I have.

When I take a lot of extra pictures, I use Photoshop Elements to put 2 or more pictures on one photograph for the project. For that you would have to know a bit of photo shop.













I love it when my kids work together

We were blessed enough to meet Kitty De Ruyter Bons at girl's camp and hear her story. Her book is "As I Have Loved You", and it's the most amazing story you will ever hear!


I ate so many cherries this year
