more about the 365 project...

i use photoshop elements for editing my photos. i fix my pictures (if i can), add journaling (at least the date), borders and whatever else i feel my picture needs. i actually started off last year trying to be kind of fancy and have ended the year on a much simpler note. i think i prefer the simpler way. it ends up being more about the picture and less about what i've done to it (plus i am lazy). i also have PLENTY of not so great pictures which i completely embrace because for me it's about the story and not about perfection.

borders...a simple way to dress up your photos.
if you want to purchase borders to use in elements i recommend designer digitals. two peas in a bucket and polka dot potato (who's website is having issues right now) also have some great borders.

actions...a fun & easy way to perk up your photos.
polka dot potato and ez actions have really fun and easy to install actions. i think the actions on both sites are actually made by the same guy and that he owns the ez actions site.

you don't need to have elements to do this project. you can chose to do nothing to your pictures and just let your photos tell your story. you could also use the resources on the fabulous website picnik to write on your photos and do basic editing. one great advantage of picnik is that it connects right up with flickr.

i also wanted to make sure you know that becky higgins has a 365 kit that's for sale starting january 1st on the ck site. it won't be added to the ck site until 1/1, but becky has a lot of information about it on her blog. i am choosing not to do the kit but i am sure it's really nice.

just for fun you should check out big huge labs. i love using that site to make mosaics. they also have lots of other fun things to try.
let me know if you have any questions i have failed to answer. also feel free to make any suggestions.
