The January BYOC Is Here

Finally! The January BYOC is in the shop! I know many of us have been anxiously awaiting this new collection, and I know you won't be disappointed! The products are all revolving around Project 365/Life/52 and they will really help you to stick to the project you choose throughout the year. This year, as I already mentioned, I will be doing a physical Project Life album. In 2011, I started and haven't completed a digital P365 (but in fact it was more of a Project Life than P365 since my intention was to scrap the photos, not just take them). I have been doing 2-page spreads for each week, but have fallen behind. When I saw these templates by Emily Merritt, though, I have felt the urge to go back and try to finish my pages:


I started scrapping the latest page, Week 52 - the last week of 2011.

As you may notice, I am having way too much fun with my RadLab - and this from someone who openly disliked editing photos! I love the format of Emily's template - having square blocks for pictures make it easy to fit most pictures, be they horizontal or vertical. I am now debating whether I should go back and finish my missing pages using this week in a page format or stick to the week in 2 pages that I had been doing. I do like to keep my photos kind of big, plus in 2011 I had modified the P365 concept to include multiple photos per day if necessary, because keeping just one was too limiting, so it would weird to have multiple photos for the first part of the year and just one for the rest. I am still undecided... But let's move on to more BYOC goodies! If you're doing a digital version of Project Life, these page protectors are a must have!!


and these little bits are really useful too:


Then there are these cards, that are essential for both digi and hybrid:



I have already printed out a bunch to keep handy for my Project Life album. :) In the meantime, though, I've also scrapped with them! :)

All the BYOC products work perfectly fine even if you aren't doing P365/Life/52, and I especially loved these templates by Sara Gleason:


And this paper set by Amber Clegg:


Perfect to scrap a bunch of photos easily!

Well, as you can see, I am still working on finishing up the album about my mom's visit last spring - only 7 more pages to go! They will be a breeze to scrap with these new products! :)

ETA: I got a GSO for my P365 page today!! ;)
