P366 {January}

I've been so behind on blogging this month!  My scrapbook software decided to randomly stop working and took over a week to get it back up and working!  Whew!  It was pretty rough not being able to scrap for over a week, but I guess it was a good thing because the sickies have been going around my family!

My new workflow plan for P366 has been working out so far.  I've taken a picture every day and was able to keep my chosen pictures organized which has proven helpful with me not being able to complete my layouts right away.  I've also continued to delete pictures that need to be deleted and correct pictures that I keep right away.  The new materialistic templates have been awesome as well. I'm happy to say that even with me not being able to scrapbook for over a week, I am already done with January!!  Yay me...I'm just hoping I keep up the momentum!

I've already posted my first week so here is my January title page and the rest of the week's layouts!

2011 P365 April

Yeah, that's right...you read the title correctly these are my layouts for last April...I told you I was behind!!  I AM determined to finish last year though so plan on seeing several more months worth of last year's P365 layouts!

2011 P365 December LOs

As I mentioned earlier, I am not done with 2011's Project 365!  I am using the Sweet & Simple kits from Weeds and Wildflowers Design and unfortunately had to wait to purchase the rest of the kits!!  I did pretty well with taking pictures and with journaling, however, my workflow was not nearly as good as it is this year.  I'm working my way backwards on my missing months, as I figure it will be easier to complete the months that are freshest in my memory.

I'm super happy that I've just finished with December...now only what...something like 6 months (from last year) to go...

An Amazing Day

2012 P366

I have started another Project 356 this year!!  I have yet to finish last years layouts but I will finish it!!  This year I've done a few things differently with the hopes of streamlining my process.  So far it's working and I am actually up to day.  However, with it being so early in the year I have yet to see...

My new process for this project:

• I am now doing 8.5x11 layouts.  Now I can print out my own layouts and not have to send out to have my project printed.
• I am using templates (Every{day} Life Templates by Weeds & Wildflowers Design and Cinzia Designs) that are very simple and straightforward.  
• I am using minimal elements and papers.  The focus of my project is on the pictures and the journaling.  I am adding only a few embellishments and strips of paper, which make this process much easier and quicker.  

My new process for my photos:

• I upload my photos every day into my Creative Memory Manager.  I am uploading much fewer photos when I do this daily.
• I am deleting bad photos immediately.  This process is much more doable when I am only focusing on a handful of photos instead of 100+
• I am picking my photo of the day right away and tagging it as P366 2012.  Even if I don't get around to scrapping my P366, I know that I will not have to search for my picture (like I've had to do last year!!!!).
• I am doing my journaling for each picture of the day as I tag it for P366 2012.  
• I am being flexible.  This is a biggie for me!!  Last year I really struggled getting a picture EVERY day.  I would be so close each month, but it would never fail; I would always miss at least 1 day each month.  I found myself scrambling to find a picture that could work for the day I missed (I call this "fudging the date").  So this year I've decided to give myself some flexibility.  If I don't get a picture I'm not going to stress about it and simply modify my template and make sure I have something to journal for the day.  

I am hoping that this new process will help me get done with this years P366 on time!  We'll see...only time will tell!  Good luck all of you P365ers!  Are you changing your workflow process this year?  How do you do your P365, and is it working for you??  I'm up for new tips and tricks!!

So here is my Week 1
