I bought the kit and I love the album. It's gorgeous.
Last week we took all the photos (oops! only 4 - 5 good ones for Monday).
I started putting it together last night. It's fun. I know this is going to be worth it.
I'm basically following Ali's plan because I love her style. I'm not doing much text on the computer though. I didn't want to pay for layers after buying the kit.
Anybody else working on theirs right now? I think it will take a couple of weeks to put together. I printed out all photos 4X6 at Walgreen's for M - Th and am printing on my inkjet anything I want to be bigger or smaller. I'll give what I don't use to my mom or make Xmas tags with them.
I wouldn't have known where to start if it weren't for Ali's blog so I'm really glad I bought the kit. The stuff inside is great.

I did not buy the kit, but have been keeping up with taking pics this week to do a week in the life album.

I really wanted to do more last night but I was exhausted from work. Maybe today I can start on Monday.

I want to do an album... but I am struggling with want vs effort. This summer I did a 6x8 album for a family vacation and it turned out great and it actually came together quite easily, so here I am looking at a 6x8 album (I didn't buy the kit, I already had an album) and it seems so overwhelming.

Yeah, it seemed crazy to me too but I watched the video for the first day and it makes sense. Just one day at a time. She hasn't even uploaded the next day yet. But I get the idea. It's gotten me excited to play with paper again!

I bought the kit, took the photos, did some of the journaling and am just waiting now for my photos to come in the mail. I liked doing the project and hope to do it again. I didn't feel like there was any real need to buy the kit, though, except for the album and page protectors, which are nice. I don't think I'll use half the kit items.

I don't really like the journaling cards except for the 3X8 ones. I am using other paper from my stash. I like the blue stars and the chipboard a lot.
