This works out much better for me than photo a day with a week of photos to a page. I started out well in 2010 but when we had week after week at doctors and major medical problems, I really did not want to look back on so many of my weeks. Some things are better ignored. This year, I am scrapping months and I am aiming for anything from 3 to 10 pages of photos a month.
To give an outline of January:
Page 1: Contains a page of photos taken on 1/1/1. I will also do this randomly throughout the year for special days.
Pages 2-5 were photos from our visit to see my parents.
(These pages were posted earlier)
Pages 6 and 7 are photos taken over the month with a world news/current affairs summary. (We are news junkies here!)
Page 8: Photos with random summaries of the month including weather etc.
Page 9: Photos and journalling about my garden. (Yes there is a lot of journalling this month but it is Summer and I am planting seeds.)
Page 10: To keep me inspired with Photo a day, I am selecting a different topic each month as a focus. For January this was flowers and these photos are all cropped onto the page.
Page 11: Our monthly calendar.
To try and tie the individual months together somewhat, I will be using a different colour theme for each month and selecting one coordinating paper. That is it. No embellishments or elements. Not a staple or stitch in sight!
Now lets see if I am as enthusiastic at the end of February or for that matter later in the year.
And if anyone is interested, the templates that I am using/modifying are from Biograffiti at Oscraps.
Have a great week everyone!
