Speed Challenge - week 1

Ready, Set… Go!

The Speed Challenge is on! Over the next 5 weeks we are going to complete a year-in-review photobook for 2008 that will be ready to drop in your christmas pictures and be done by the end of the year!

I’ll be using the Year-in-Review Layered Template Set in the store at DesignerDigitals. There are other sets that can be easily adapated for your books as well. This Year-in-Review book has the ‘07’ dates on a separate layer that you can easily remove and replace with 08. Or you could use the Year-by-Year Set and change the titles or Made to Remember and add in month titles or even the Made of Dreams Book with the addition of month titles would be perfect!

For this series post your pages in the 10 Weeks 2 Treasure Gallery and we’ll be able to easily enjoy everyone’s books!

To keep up with the challenge, 3 months a week will be the pace. We’ll get to do part of December’s pages and leave a few spots to drop in our christmas day memories. And the last week we can create out covers and upload to Shutterfly to wrap it up!

So, are you ready?

I’ve gotten my first three months done and realized this year got off to a slow start in the picture-taking department! We were going through a lot of transition with our house for sale and getting ready to move so the rest of the year is more packed with pictures—I could do a few spreads for a few of the months, but I’m just going to pull out the highlights of each month to be able to have a good summary of the year! This is the third year I’ve done a year in review photobook and I wish I could go back and remember month by month for years past but instead I’m going to look forward to dozens of years to come and keep up with my picture taking!

I can’t wait to see all your year-in-review summaries!
And remember, the quarterly sale starts Thursday night with 30% off storewide, so that’s a great time to pick up the template set you want to use if you don’t have it yet!
