Anyone already with the thought of "why did I sign up for this"...lol Funny you should ask... I’ve been struggling with my idea. ! got started ok and created a really nice (I thought!) cover and beginning few pages for my Walking Journal. But, although I am fine with scrapping the mundane, this just isn’t working for me. I like the idea, but there really isn’t enough to write or photograph and what ends up is me looking for things so it’s feeling forced. Plus, the 3 days I’ve finished (including the garbage truck story!) take up two pages and that’s way too much for a journal I can print. But, mostly it’s feeling like I’m “doing" just to “do" and it’s not meaningful so I think I am going to change my topic, if that’s ok? I wanted to make a book of my visits to my sister’s and what we did and already did a page for a challenge. So, I’m thinking that I’ll change my PL to an “Indiana Book” and this way I’ll get it done. I’m also thinking that I’ll keep the Australia Photo book on the back burner and do some of those in between so maybe it won’t be so hard to do. These are the walking pages and cover I finished so far, I’m going to file them away for now! As you can see, I didn’t finish the 3rd page because it wasn’t going anywhere....

angleigh Posted January 15, 2020 Author Share Posted January 15, 2020 Sometimes you just can't force it. And this weeks prompt may just be the word "random"...you know sometimes it is what it is. And yes, i'm for sure trying to soak up the last bit of high school the boys have left (heck maybe that will be my prompt for the next few months..lol) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Florida granny Posted January 19, 2020 Share Posted January 19, 2020 What seems to work for me is making a PL layout whenever I have some photos of things happening. So... some months it might mean one layout, some months it might mean four. Right now I have some photos so I'm posting the second layout for January. Having said all that, I do love the idea of prompts, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ladyscrapalot Posted January 20, 2020 Share Posted January 20, 2020 What I have been doing so far is looking at the prompts for the week and think of how I could interpret it in a photo. Sometimes if I'm doing something I'll take photos and see if I can find a way to fit it with the prompt. There'll be other times that I'll take a photo of something that doesn't have anything to do with the prompt. My life is kind of mundane so, yeah, that makes it challenging. On the other hand it gives me an opportunity to look for things to do so I can take a photo of something... So far it's been fun for me. We'll see how long it lasts. LOL!

Scrapin Pat Posted January 21, 2020 Share Posted January 21, 2020 Here's my start. I've had a hard time getting started so choosing to just begin. Not sure yet how often I will do it or if I will use prompts … if I will keep this format. I suspect it will be a combination of this foundation and regular layouts. Time will tell.

Stephanie H. Posted January 26, 2020 Share Posted January 26, 2020 Hello Everyone! Like so many of you I struggled with what to do for my Week 3. Well, it's not my best effort but I'm proud of myself for sticking with it and not giving up. Even though I haven't commented on many of your pages, I want you to know how much I have enjoyed them. (I check the PL gallery all the time.) Keep up the great work and we'll see what inspires me next week. Blessings! Here's my Week 3: WHAT'S BEHIND THAT DOOR?

I will track the final January layouts on Monday 2/3 and will also pick the January winner then. Keep in mind to be in the drawing for the end of the year prize you have to post a layout each month!

Hi there. I have to figure out everything new (to me) with the site. It's been way too long since I have scrapped! I'm thinking of doing the Project 2020 with monthly layouts. If I can get a layout finished and posted today for my January pictures, will that count as a January entry? Or would it have to had been posted before January was over (last day of January?) Thanks!

scrappinchar Posted February 2, 2020 Share Posted February 2, 2020 Thanks Jane and Angie. I've got my pictures chosen. Trying to find my layout templates. lol Might not get finished until after church this evening. I'm looking forward to USING the supplies I've been buying here over these past years. lol (I'll try to figure out this week how to edit my "signature." Looks like I have some outdated buttons or banners or something there.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scrappinchar Posted February 3, 2020 Share Posted February 3, 2020 I'm about to post my layout. Good golly. It's been since 2013 since I have scrapped. I have done a Christmas Card each year, but that's it. Goodness! I am VERY rusty on my PhotoShop skills. Hopefully I sized down the layout properly for the gallery. We'll see... I might find myself doing double page spreads or multiple layouts each month. And what a different "day and age." My photos all came from my phone! lol My nice camera rarely comes out of it's bag, poor thing. I didn't have time to do any photo editing/enhancing. Oh well.

A-M Posted February 3, 2020 Share Posted February 3, 2020 I have had a change in my plans for Project Life this year and will be doing like last year and do monthly pages. So again they may not be eligible for the prizes as I possibly will not get February page done until March ... etc. I am okay with that and will still share my pages in the gallery if I use Scrap Girls products.

Angie, isn’t it true that if we are doing monthly pages PL, we have a few days to finish when the month ends? I’m not sure I’m correct but I recall that was the way they were counted since it’s hard to finish the month while it’s still the month! If that made sense......

There may be times I would not get the page done by the 3rd of the next month so I am okay with not being part of the prize draw as I accepted that last year.
