Counterfeiting

As I mentioned in yesterday's post I have a ton of scrapbook stash. I plan on using up a bunch doing my 365 album. I happened acrossed this challenge blog that I think will be a great help. Counterfeit Kits http://counterfeitkitchallenge.blogspot.com/ Instead of buying new stuff everytime you start a new project you use the inspiration kit & your stash to make your own kit. I plan on using each months kit to make the 365 pages for that month.

Here's my kit for January.




And here's my January add-on.

Project 365~ A Year of Photos

The concept of project 365 has been around for awhile. Mostly photographers trying to learn different techniques. It was made popular for scrapbookers by Becky Higgins http://www.beckyhiggins.com/ She even has a kit for sale to make the whole process easier. I'm gonna do my own thing though. Not because the kits not gorgeous, but because I have an overwhelming amount of stash that I need to use up. LOL

Until I did the December Daily last month I hadn't scrapbooked in ages, but I'm really excited about this project so I hope I can keep it up. I have taken pics for every day so far, & I'm working on getting my journaling caught up. I need to get some pics printed so I can start my pages.

I'm doing a 2 page 12x12 layout for each week, with smaller pages for days with more pictures.(holidays, birthdays,etc...)I would also like to do little pages for BOM(book of me) & One Little Word pages.
