Default 365 - I could use your help & thoughts!

Woohoo! We are down to the final weeks! It's been an awesome ride and I totally plan on doing it again!

My problem right now is what to do/say/put on the title page!!! May I ask what you other 365ers are doing for your title? Can you link us up? Those not doing a 365, what would you do for a title? A quote, collage of photos, write why you did this & who you are? I feel like the title introduces the book, but I don't know what to do/say!!
TIA!

I have thought about mine so I think that counts, lol

I plan on doing a title page with some type of yearly calendar background, a few photos (cropped to just show a small portion) and then 2009 - our ordinanary everyday life.

Pretty simple - and it will be square, centered on a white background.

miss you joey! hope all is well - I LOVE your Christmas card....so beautiful IRL

Here's my title page, but my book will be different as I'm including my 2008 PAD (basically, my flickr pictures) and going forward into 2010 and hopefully beyond! I might add, I LOVE your pages.

Great question Joey. I think I'm going to do a collage with my favorite photos of the year and a short why I did this statement.

Joey, I had "planned" to do a collage of select photos; of course, since I only made it half way, I get to hold on to that LO til next year. ;-)

Carol, I LOVE that title page! Great colors and photo, wonderful titling, fabulous design!

Oh Carol, what a sensational page.

I like the idea of putting 1 year, 52 weeks, 365 days, (however many) seconds, somewhere on the cover.

Carol, the title page is perfect! I wish I had that magical quality that you all do to start/continue/finish a 365 project!
I give all of you many, many kudos for a job incredibly well done!

Kerry - but I'm not getting anything else finished! I've been trying to refinish my piano for mmmm, lets not say how many years ... my husband is threatening cut it up. I keep putting it off to take pictures! Sure am having fun though!

This is my title page and is also going to be the front cover.

I liked the quote and loved the challenge of finding something to photograph everyday.

Funny you ask, I wrote my title page at the beginning and just last week realized that I went in a totally different direction with my book. I'm thinking about using it for next year's book now. lol

Oh, I like this idea a lot!

Carol, I LOVE your page - especially the photo!

Dorah, I LOVE your page and quote!

I sure appreciate all the thoughts to far! This really has me thinking! Keep the ideas coming!

Great covers!! I fell off the 365 wagon so hope to do better next year. Angie posted her cover a while back and I love the simplicity and how she used the trees:

All of your ideas are wonderful! I was thinking of using Shape collage.com to make a 2009 Collage (pictures in the shape of the numbers)

I'm actually stressed about doing the cover for the album! I made my first week page to reflect what the whole book was about since it was going to be the first page in my album, but I don't know what to do for the cover.

Love the title pages shown here. Just want to congratulate all of you for finishing your 365 layouts and POD. Plan on doing it this coming year since I need to really get to know this %@#% camera better.

Oh Angie, that's a sensational cover, as is yours too Dorah.

I love how this is the same project but we've all individualised it so much.

I love all of these covers! I am hoping to join in this year - I was derailed last year when my computer died for about 6weeks. Great inspiration!

Carol, Dorah and Angie - love your covers! They could not be more different or more beautiful!

I think I'll use a favorite photo for a title page, and do a "what I learned" for the end page.

Here is my take on the title page...



Also... since I wanted the first week of January (which was only 3 days since I do my weeks Sunday - Saturday) to be on the right page, I needed to make a page to appear on the left if I was going to have a title page! So here is the page that I made that will appear between the title page and the first week of the year...

Not that this helps you right now, but I am going to wait for inspiration (in the form of a lightening bolt) after I've loaded all the pages to Shutterfly and am looking at it in book form!
