i promised i would share my pages so far in my project 365 album. i already had all my photos printed … and the corners rounded (to match the journaling cards). so it was easy enough to slip them all in the page protectors for each week. of course, i had to have the journaling cards in "perfect" order … meaning they all had to be spaced equally out, so that the same design would not be next to each other. lol! so i already put all the journaling cards in the album for the entire year. filling out the journaling cards for the first 31 days of the year took me the longest time. i have good hand-writing days … and days where i don't like my own writing at all. with each day that i was filling out … i was making more mistakes and getting a bit more sloppy in my writing. but i guess that just makes it more real, right? lol!
week one. i choose to start my album on january 1st … so there are only 3 days to this first week. i'm starting on the front side of the first page protector … which is perfect for the three days. and then i'll add a regular sized page protector to the front of the album later … and make my own title page.
week two. these were really hard to get a picture of. those white things on the bottom of the picture … those are my toes. i had the album laying on one of the stairs. and i was balancing on another stair … and on my tippy-toes trying to get the whole album in the shot. yes, i'm on the short side. click on any of these to see them a bit bigger.
week three. as you might have noticed … i did add a few brads to the first week or two. not sure if i'm going to do that to the other pages. for now, probably not. i don't want to get halfway in and have the album bulk up too much. i think it's going to be good just with the 52 weeks of photos. but i might go back and add a few things … never know.
week four. i also decided to use the black "day" stickers on the photos … and the clear circle stickers on the journaling cards. i punched small circles from the extra pattern paper sheets that came in the kit … using my 5/8" punch that i had. the stickers are a tad bit larger than that … but it's the only punch i had. then i just drew a rough circle around those stickers.
week five. feel like i should make a few more comments … but i think it's all pretty self-explanitory. lol!
