Excited

Belated Happy New Year to everyone! I had the best start to my year. My boyfriend and I both had to work New Year's Eve, me until midnight. :( My boyfriend came to my work so that we could be together at midnight. After having a nice meal that he prepared for me, he proposed!

Me extremely happy:



The newly engaged couple:



Today, I have a new template in three page sizes. It is a double page, monthly calendar template. In order to make it customizable for any month, there are 35 spots for dates and photos. Just hide the layers that you don't need. For instructions on how to save and print each page of the double layout separately, see this post. The instructions are for 12x12 pages. For 8.5x11 and 11x8.5 templates, set the width to 8.5 and 11 respectively.

The next template will be a one page calendar template, so look for that in the next week or so.

Caught Up

I've finished converting my previously released 12x12 P365 templates into 8.5x11 and 11x8.5 templates. I had some trouble making where the photos and journaling fill the whole page, so all of these have backgrounds. I may come back later and try again.

Here are all the downloads:

Still Alive

I know, it's been almost two years since I last posted. It's been a busy two years. I finally received my bachelor's degree and am now taking prerequisites for pharmacy school. Things haven't really slowed down for me, but I miss scrapbooking and am going to make an effort to get back into it. I am also picking up where I left off with my templates, so I hope some of you are still doing P365. I plan to post a new one every week or so and may post a little more frequently while on winter break these next couple of weeks.

I have one 8.5x11 template for you today:

By Request

A few of you wanted me to make the templates I talked about in my last post, not only to use Becky Higgins' Project 365 downloads but also to eliminate the need for a background paper. I've made four 12x12 templates that have no background, just the photos and journaling blocks. The first two have vertical pictures and horizontal journaling blocks. The last two have horizontal pictures with vertical journaling blocks, which are also sized to fit Becky's downloads.

Here are today's templates:









For the 8.5x11 scrappers out there, I'm in a bit of a bind. Becky's kit was designed for a square (12x12) album. So I can make a template that works with her downloads, but there will be extra space where you would need to put a background color or paper. It would look like this:



And like this:



Or I can make a template that eliminates the need for a background but does not necessarily work with Becky's downloads. Leave a comment about which you would prefer.

Photoshop Elements

I use Photoshop CS3, so I had no idea that Elements users could not work with the individual layers in a layer group. I'm sorry for those of you who had issues with this. I have uploaded new templates with the layers ungrouped. If I ever use layer groups in the future, the download will include templates both with and without the groups. Here are the download links for my previously released Project 365 templates:

** The original template downloads have now been updated to include templates for PSE users. **

Becky Higgins

I'm sure you have already heard, but I'll say it just in case you haven't. Becky Higgins has on her blog a free download of some journaling card images from her Project 365 kit. I'm hearing that some people haven't been able to download it at all. I think the trick is in the timing, as I had no trouble downloading it early this morning. Keep trying.

I'm considering creating a template that would work with these images. For 12x12, the photos and journaling cards would basically take up the whole space, leaving no need to choose a background paper. I'm not sure yet how (or if) it would work at all for 8.5x11. I would like to know if there is any interest in this. Leave a comment or email me if you would like me to work on this template.

Six More

Okay, here are the other six Project 365 templates. The response to these templates has been tremendous! I may try to come up with a few other Project 365 designs. If anyone has any ideas for a template, feel free to leave a comment or email me.

Here are the 12x12 templates:
