PROJECT 2009 END OF THE YEAR

Hi from Caz.

Wow! I am totally loving my 2008/2009 layout a month album.

 

And here is my final layout, December 2009...

I didn't imagine that I would look upon it in this way, and I love that in years to come I can look back and remember how life was and what we did.

I'm so looking forward to 2010 and the layouts I can add to my next little album.

haPPy scraPPing! This is what it's all about.

Hello, Eleanor here, wishing all our readers a very Happy and creative 2010.

 By the end of the year, and so, the end of Project 2009,  there was very little room in my gardening tote for the final minibook, so I had to make sure it was thin enough to fit in one of the outside pockets.

It's a simple cube, covered in photos, and would make a rather fun gift with family photos on, but which is easy to post, as it squashes flat into a card wallet.

I was inspired by some University promotional literature, which I deconstructed to see how it worked and then drew a template.

For the very first time, I have made a video.

Here are the templates:

Download Cube sleeve

Download Cube 1

Download Cube 2

And here is the gardening tote, filled to bursting with my 12 months' worth of minibooks.

 

12 MONTHS = 12 PROJECTS. Or does it?

I counted the minibooks again and again and finally I had to ask "Who's borrowed my gloves?"

Ah, there they are:

It's been a great project and I'd do it all over again.

Over to Scrapdolly:

I loved making my 2009 year book. It was made much easier because I also completed my photo a day project 365 so I had all the pictures I needed.

My album is 6" x 12" and based on a class by Clare Brown over at A Trip Down memory lane.

I love the fact it has such a mix of page shapes and sizes.

Here is the cover and the first group of pages

 

There are also lots of tags to pull out and flip over with extra details.

and the final block of pages

I also completed my 365 album. I did a digital album and printed it all off as I made each page. the album was an 8" x 8" album and I just decorated the cover.

And here it is filled with 54 pages (52 weekly pages, an intro and a summary)

If you want to complete a project 365 and need inspiration for the weekly page layouts my complete pages are all available HERE and the photos are all HERE

Here's to the next year long project, watch this space...

The dream-come-true video!!!! I have been looking for instructions for this pop-up cube for too long. I found wonderful web-sites offering the card (I figured I could take apart the promotional thing and figure it out) and discovered that at $75+ that was going to be an option I would pass on and stick with waiting and searching.
Your tutorial was easy to follow and produced the desired result. Your posted pdfs a gift!!!!!!!! Thank you so very much for a fantastic (even more so because it's your first!!!) video. WONDERFUL AND THE PROJECT IS TIMELESS AND THE TARGET AUDIENCE CAN BE OF ANY AGE. Simply brilliant.
