I know, I know, it’s Friday and I’m posting a Digi World Wednesday post.
But with the early release of new products at Scrap Orchard this week, I had to rearrange the blog schedule a wee bit.
Woot! I am so excited to try Project 365 again this year.
Still need to take my picture today. And I’m still trying to decide exactly how I want to document it. I plan to scrap layouts of the pictures — I just can’t decide how. 7 pictures on a page? Seems like it would be the most economical — at the end of the year that’s only 52 8×8 pages to print, versus the 104 if I do 2-page spreads.
I must admit some of the templates out there look very appealing.
If you’re looking for a really simple way to scrap those pictures, I absolutely LOVE the look of these templates by Biograffiti — plus you can choose either 12×12 or 8.5 x 11.


These templates by Happy Scrap Girl look fun too!

Of course, I am a digital scrapbooker and a designer, and I like to think that I’m somewhat creative
, so maybe I’ll create my own layouts instead of using templates. Or maybe, I’ll buy some templates for when I’m in a pinch … see, I’m still up in the air about the whole thing. But at least I have some ideas of template sources to turn to if I need them.
Have you seen all the fun Project 365 products the digi scrap designers are churning out? WOW! Pretty much something for every style, I think. Of course, I’m partial to my own products — while some customers may think I design solely for their buying pleasures, I have to confess that I don’t. I mean, I’m a scrapper at heart, and when I design scrapbook kits, it’s so I can use them too!
I just feel really lucky that I’m not the only one who likes my designs, lolol!
Now, I realize Scrap Orchard is currently receiving a facelift and so is not accessible at this writing, but I thought I’d share a few of the products I have in the store right now that just *might* be useful for your Project 365 this year — I definitely plan to use them.
I’ll come back and link up all the images once the site is back up and running.
First, there’s my HUGE kit, Journey 365 Jumbo — practically bursting at the seams with color & kraft yumminess (36 patterns, 24 solids, 1 alpha in 18 colors, and TONS of fun, basic elements).

I happen to LOVE kraft paper — I just love how colors pop off neutral backgrounds — so I’ve put together 2 different stashes for you — one that’s mostly pristine, and one that’s super crumpled.


And who doesn’t love stitches?


Be on the lookout for more fun coordinating products to be released January 8th (like, I don’t know, maybe a date pack … and some fun alphas …).

Happy New Year!
