Noticing a few more questions about Project 365 (specifically about the kit this time, not just the concept).

Q: What’s the ribbon for?

A: Anything you want! Just a fun extra that we added to the kit so that you can incorporate it throughout the album if you want. This is what I’m doing with it once in a while — cut a short piece, fold it over the top edge, and staple:

Q: Any other ideas for how to include multiple pictures when you just can’t choose one photo for a particular day?

A: A fellow blog reader (Amy Z I think?) shared a brilliant idea in the comments at some point. I’d love to share this with you, along with a visual to help you grasp the concept. (Thanks, Amy.) Just re-size a few pictures to fit the tri-fold journaling blocks that are in the kit. (For this example, my photo size is 2.25″ W x 2.75″ T.)

Q: What’s your approach for journaling each day? (This great question really is more about the concept and doesn’t have anything to do with the product.)

A: Sometimes I do a blow-by-blow for the day and make a list of the happenings. In this case, the picture for that day usually comes from one of the things I listed. Or sometimes I focus my journaling completely on the thoughts/feelings/details/information about just the picture I’m highlighting. I don’t feel like I need to have the exact same approach to journaling every single day. I enjoy mixing it up a bit. Keeps it interesting.

PRODUCT TIP: In case you haven’t already figured it out (I’m not sure if I mentioned this or not) … those 4×6 transparencies that came in the kit … they have a protective film on them. You should peel this off before using it as a photo overlay.

Added note: Same goes for the monthly bookmark-style dividers. Peel off the protective film!

MORE TIPS: If you haven’t checked out the KOTM blog lately, the past few posts have been awesome tips. I just learned about a new gadget I’d never seen before!

RANDOM SHOUT-OUT: Just wanted to say a very special HELLO to Mary Kadry, who did something ultra kind for Alyson, who is now able to do Project 365 because of YOU. : )
