Merkeley Designs is at it again --and there are two
FABULOUS NEW PRODUCTS in the store to boost your creative designs and memory keeping!
First up is "366 Days - 2012"!!!

This set of 12 monthly templates will help you scrap a photo a day. Each template comes
with stacked layers, great rounded corners, and includes the number of days for each month.
Not doing Project 365? There are plenty of other great uses for this flexible design!
(Download includes .psd and .tif formats.)
I've heard of Project 365. Committing to one photograph a day for a full year.
I've been curious. But Merkee's great new products made me take a second look.
Here are some things I discovered...
Project 365 is about moments.
It is about gathering up the memories of those daily moments that often get overlooked.
The moments you look back at years later and remember emotions, smells, smiles,
and those wonderful little details.
Project 365 is about life.
Your life. Your family's life. Even your dog's life. It is an
in-depth and perhaps more honest look at life as you live it.
Project 365 is flexible.
Want to do a photo a day from family life -- boom -- there's your theme. Want to do
a project about breakfast everyday for a year? (It has been done!) How about a
photo of your feet in different locations every day? I've seen several O scrappers
doing this! How about 365 days of fashion? And as Merkee has done in her example
-- a year of days with a family pet.
Project 365 is powerful.
Your memory may fade in the years to come, but your commitment to capturing
this year's moments will live on for years and years to come. Just the spark your
memory needs for a delightful journey back in time.
Project 365 helps your photography skills.
Whether you take your smart phone or an SLR camera along -- you will have the
gift of learning to look at life in new ways.
