In 2009 I did complete a Project 365 and a few weeks into 2010 I broke my right wrist so I couldn’t take picture and continue it. So in December I made December Daily type album but as it got to the end of the year I thought I needed something to review the year. So I made a Year in Review album, I also made one in 2011.

This year I decided to do Project Life again (and I’ve taken a photo everyday – thanks to my iPhone on which I’ve taken most of my photos) but just before Christmas I decided I needed to do another Year in Review Album. I could have done the Take Twelve approach, taking 12 pictures on the 12th of every month, but I didn’t find out about it until after the 12th January and I was doing Project Life anyway.

So I started looking for a twelve photo sketch I could use to make a template. I couldn’t find one, so I broke down and bought the Take Twelve ebook from Ella Publishing (despite the fact that the year is over) and found some great sketches and some ideas for photos to take next year.

So I made a digital template, found a digital stamp with numbers and stamped a layer over with all the numbers figured out where to the monthly titles from the Take Twelve pack and where my journaling (a simple list of what the photos were) was going and I was all set.

After that the most difficult part was picking the photos. I was able to get three done in an hour over the course of the last few days I’ve made a year in review. So here is part 1 January to June.

Welcome 2011!

A few years ago I started this blog for a Jessica Sprague class with the intention of updating it regularly. This just ended up with me posting layouts once every couple of weeks. So I took a Shimelle Lane course Blogging for Scrapbookers this attempt at blogging didn’t last very long either. But it did provide me with a list suggesting something to blog about every day for a year. Now while I may not blog every day it may be a good start.

So to start blog prompt number 1. – Take a photo of yourself and blog one or more goals you’re working towards this year.

I’ve never been very good at keeping New Year’s resolutions but let’s see how we go.

Goal 1 – Blog more. – well this is blog post number 1 of 2011 that’s a good start.

Goal 2 – Exercise more – I’ve exactly been the fittest, although my body mass index is in normal range losing a little bit of weight can never hurt although I’ll never give up chocolate. So I have gathered together my fitness Wii games and am planning on using it at least three times a week. Let’s see how we go. ( I usually do ok until I get sick then I start forgetting).

I think two goals is enough to start with.

Before I go I may as well share my year in review layouts I created yesterday. Wanting them to be consistent I created a template from Allison Davies Sketches for Scrapbooking Vol 6 and used it for the basis of my layout. I used the monthly digital Sweet and Simple Life 365 kits form Weeds and Wildflowers Designs for each layout and managed to complete all twelve in four hours. Prepare for layout bombardment.
