This looks excellent!
MUCH better than either one or the other. The big bed was too distracting and this cut out the distraction and showcased the cute wrinkly body and his beautiful face.

Love the announcement, I couldn't decided which pic so this is a great idea. Speaking of babies, I saw one of your pages using your baby kit for the sketch in April's CK and I was wondering if you could share more pages for the months. My son is alrealy 6 months old and I am having a hard time with the pages for each of his months.
Thanks

Both photos were so beautiful, I initially couldn't decide. One is so portrait and the other so baby.
It's a sweet announcement - Beautiful photos.
I miss those baby days. It goes fast.

I think they are both beautiful pictures and it is a good idea to use them both. You have the best ideas. Still doing my own 365 and hoping for a miracle to get the "real deal." I ordered the new kit and received it the next day.
Good service.

Becky - can you offer any suggestions/tips for success when doing a photo shoot for friends and families? I remember you have done many Christmas card photos for others. Any thoughts to share? Thank you!

I hate to hijack your comments, but the link to download your CK Becky Font seems to be broken. Any chance you'll be fixing it? I love the font and hope I haven't missed out on the chance to download it! Thanks.

They are so beautiful!
I have a stupid question for you though...(if you have time to answer) How did you get that long line in between the baby's info? Is it an "I" in a different font, or something special that I'm not aware of?

Hi Becky!
I love reading your blog and had a question for you... Do you have any ideas for wedding centerpieces using scrapbooking and photos? I'm getting married in June and would LOVE to put some sort of photos on the table for the reception. If you had any ideas it would be SO cool to see them on your blog! I'm sure many other brides to be would love reading it too!
Thanks for your time! and I hope to see something on your blog soon! :)

Becky--I know not everyone is doing 365, but could you give us some update on how it's going for you?! I love the idea, but now am feeling like it is getting a bit slow. I don't know what to do to "spice it up"--in terms of the journaling, or the time--any suggestions are welcome! I am thinking of giving my 2 kiddos the camera over the summer for a week each, but we can't do that while in school...
Really, anything you can do to spark my inspiration is welcome. Thanks so much! (and can you post a new recipe?!?!) :)

LOVE the birth announcement!

On a totally different note, the Angel cross-stitch pattern with the apron (All Through the Year) is now being printed again! For those who wanted it from your previous posts, I read on Shepherd's Bush blog that they are carrying it in their store (they're in Ogden, UT and do phone orders). I'm not affiliated with them, just an avid cross-stitcher! :) If SB is carrying it and it's back in print, then other local stitching stores should be able to order it. :)

was wondering if you have any recommendations of paper lines that coordinated with the Project 365 kit? thanks in advance.

I seem to be going through some of the 4x6 solidy ones quickly...and I fear I'm going to definitely run out by the summer.

Beautiful job - hope everything is ok, missing your posts.

Quick question - my style is very, very similar to your - have tried different things but it is what it is - clean and simple.

Anyway, I notice in many of your sketches that you use different size photos such as 2x3 - where do you have these printed - I do not find this option on the Costco website (I think I read you order from there)? Thanks.

For the question about the photo sizes and printing different sizes...I print different sizes such as 3 x 2 by putting four pictures together on one file. I use Photoshop or Photoshop Elements. Takes a little bit of time but the trimming is simple once printed. I plan on doing this for my recent disney photos. HTH.

I need a 365 fix!

It took me a couple of weeks, but I have visited every link shared in your January, "Share Your Links," post. I got some wonderful ideas, and saved a dozen links that I plan to revisit from time-to-time.
Now, what I really need is to see more finished layouts using your 365 kit. I wonder if we, (you), could start a gallery exclusively for 365 layouts... (In your spare time)

Thanks for all you do,
Juliann

Becky-
I know that if you knew something you would post it, but I'm still wondering if they are still working on reprinting the Project 365 kit. They don't post any updates on the KOTM blog! Any info would be awesome.
