This first item is another addition to my Photo Overlays collection. I focused this set on color. Using color overlays can add a dramatic, artistic effect to photos, but you can also use it sparingly, for a more subtle look. That's what I love about this next set...the versatility of the overlays because you are simply using blending modes and playing with the opacity of them You get to be in control...you are the artist!! Introducing...
Photo Overlays ::Celebrating Color::
Check out the before and afters...
(this one is my favorite...I used the purple overlay)
What do ya think?? I had a lot of fun playing. :)

I am SUPER excited about this next product because it means that I am going to be committed to doing something that I wanted to do LAST year but I missed out on it.
Ever heard of Project 365?? I am not sure of the origins (maybe I can find that out and post about it later) but the general idea is that you use your camera to take snapshots of your daily life...it's sort of a celebration, as well as a documentation, to what your daily doings are. I LOVE the idea because you could use it as a visual journal, and since I STINK at keeping a writing journal, this is a perfect substitution for me.
SO, to motivate myself (and hopefully you), I created a documenting kit so that you would be able to do this quickly and simply. This wasn't meant to be about the fun elements and colorful papers that I usually put into my kits...it was about the photos. pure and simple. let them do the talking. I will be posting my layouts every now and then, so be sure to come back often to see what the happenings are in my life.

A Year to Remember ::Project 365::
AND guess what this made me do?? Use some photos from TWO SUMMERS AGO. I have them and have maybe used one or two on layouts, but most are photos that I wouldn't have normally used on a layout, however, they were photos that I took for a reason. I wanted to remember ever single piece of my trip. This trip was significant because it was to St. Louis where I was visiting my twin sister, whom I only get to see once (twice if I'm lucky) a year.
*please note that there are TWO versions of this...both are the same, but one version is for personal use while the other is for professional use (this would be for photographers to use for their clients). Please pay attention to the version that you are buying and make sure it's for your intended use.
SO..who's with me??? Post here if you want to join me in Project 365. One lucky person will receive $5 to my store! I'll hold the drawing on Saturday evening (the first day of 2010)...can you believe it??
good luck. get your cameras ready. dust off your photo skills (or not..it really won't matter).
how will you remember 2010?

I am doing project 365. I am doing a blog (http://the3cbears365.blogspot.com/) and scrapping my photos. I LOVE your clean and simple kit!! I was looking for something that wasnt going to take away from the project it's self. This is perfect. Thanks for the chance to win the $5 too! :)
great kit. I'm planning on doing Project 365 in 2010 (started this year but gave up). I think I'll b more motivated this year (what with a bub on the way & due in Feb lol)
Blogging mine @ http://nightwolfs-project365.blogspot.com/
Oh wow.. well, my new year resolution is keeping up with project 365 and I absolutely ADORE you style here! LOVE it!
I am starting my journey with the 365 project on my new blog:
scrapadventures.blogspot.com
I'm so excited to do Project 365 in 2010. Wish me luck!!!
This year's project 365 turned into more of a project 220... but the memories I captured were priceless, and I did a better job of documenting the "little" moments than ever before. So here's to continuing to celebrate our real lives (and not just the holidays or big days), as often as I get around to it! Thanks for the giveaway, and happy new year!
Oh I am so happy you are doing Project 365! I wanted to do it last year too but also missed the chance to do it! I know where to come now when I need motivation! :)
Your new products are lovely!!! Thank you for the chance to win $5! :)
I envied those doing it last year. I should do it this year. Even if I get behind on my layouts I am sure I can find a subject a day to photograph.
Count me in!
I'm doing P365
http://heathergwp365.blogspot.com/
and I love the new Celebrate Color!
I have only been doing digital scrapbooking for 4 months now, and wondered what P365 was all about. This is a fabulous idea...I always take pictures, download them, and then wonder "now what did I take that picture for??" This will fix that, and the jouraling! THANK YOU so much for explaining, giving inspiration, and sharing your talents!
Love 365! Thanks for the chance to win the GC:)
LOL! I would be thrilled if my photos looked as good as your "before" shots. See, this is what makes you an artist.
Your templates are great!
Hmmm...my boys bought me a wonderful camera for Christmas, that combined with the fact that I can never keep up with journal writing...I'm in! Glad to know I can use your blog for support :)
I have been doing the project 365 too, and have really enjoyed it. I am sure I´ll keep doing it next year too, so I am with you
I love the templates and the new kit looks wonderful too, thank you for the chance to win $5
Sus
I am definitely doing it again this year. I did it in 2008 but then gave up half way through 2009 and I really miss it. It's a great way to document your day to day life.
I'm definitely hoping to do Project 365 this year! We'll see how long it lasts though. lol.
I am going to attempt this year to really do this...yikes!
I would love to do a P365! It's one of my goals for this coming year. We'll see how well I do! :)
The layouts are an incentive to do Project 365. I'm looking forward to it!
Hi Leora! I am ONE photo away from completing Project 365 this year. Not only did I take at least one photo a day, I also blogged every single day. It was quite the undertaking, but I love having the documentation and memories! I'm not doing it again in 2010 though. P365 took an average of an hour of my time every day. I'm on to something new for 2010. But I did write an article about P365 for the upcoming DAM (or Embellished) magazine. It should come out in the next few days. Happy 2010!
I took photos every day this year... was horrible at scrapping them... that is what I'm going to work on this year!!! It's awesome... also got me out of the house and as a SAHM, I need reasons to leave. LOL!
I got up to day 155 in 2008 but I'm going to give it another go in 2010. This time I'm going to take a photo and write a tweet (not necessarily posted to twitter but 140 characters or less) to go with it for the year.
How funny...I just downloaded your project 360 kit so I am planning on using it...I did a 'warm-up' in the month of November-picture and a one sentence bit everyday so I am hoping I can keep up with all 12 months!
I'm on board! I did really well in 2009 until my uncle passed away in November and then it was December...Hopefully I'll do better in 2010. It's a lot of fun to flip through the pages I did complete. It's a very worthwhile, and rewarding, project.
I'd love to start it! especially because I'm really into taking pictures everywhere and every time I can :)
Love that you have created these for project 365! Awesome!
What a great, simply beautiful template for the 365.
I am definitely going to try and attempt this in the new year!
I started Life 365 in June on my 43rd birthday, so yep, I'm doing it with you for half the year at least :o). It is one of the best things I have ever done!
I'm with you all the way. I started last year, but only made it part way through February when I got a kidney stone and then just stopped. This year - I am all in no matter what!
I too envied those who did it this last year, and am determined to do it this year.
i wanted to start a 365 Project last year, but had no time, but this year, i will do it !
so you won't be alone !!!!!!
I just began my P365 on Christmas morning! My DIL is starting one as well - so we can cheer each other on when we aren't feeling so creative!
I'm in and this kit will be a big help!
I had ALMOST decided NOT to do project 365 again since I have fallen way behind this year, but your templates are so lovely!
I really want to try Project 365 this year. I am really loving all of your new photo overlays!!! thanks for the chance!
Leora!!!! Your p365 templates are exactly what I'm looking for!!! I'm going to pick these up right now!!!! (or maybe I'll wait until I see if I win the GC!!! lol!)
Sooooooo excited that you're doing p365 in 2010. I plan on doing it again too. I'll send you a link to the 2010 flickr group in a bit. Would love to see your photos there!!!
the overlays and p365 templates are TDF!! must. get. them.
Definitely the best of the 365 kits. I LOVE simple and elegant.
I'm going to do it again this year - I got half way through last year posting on my blog and I got all the way up to September before I fell off the project - I was so disappointed with myself to get so far and not finish that I am DETERMINED to finish it this year come hell or high water! This kit and those great templates would certainly be perfect!! Thanks for the chance!
I found out about project 365 late this year and started taking more pictures for practice. I'm so excited to do the project at the start of the year and I love your beautiful simple layouts. It is always about the photos and your temp shows that. I can't wait! I just hope I can improve in PSE in time.
I am doing P365 this year. I have started it the last 2 years but didn't finisg...so I am hoping this is the year to get it done :)
I guess I'll wait and purchase the kit after I see if I get a GC or not! Thanks for the chance! It is PERFECT!
