Looking for....

1st and last page ideas for my P365 book I want to get them done before I am actually finished with my book, but I have no idea what to put on the 1st and last pages and for that matter the cover I did 2 page spreads so I can't really break them up so that is why I need a 1st and last page idea So can you guys give me some ideas of what you have done in your albums {even if they aren't P365 LO's}...thanks

I love Penny's A Year in Review template... and it'd be a perfect wrap-up for a 365 book!

I kept it simple for my 2009 cover:



and just went with a family photo for our last page.



I read on one site that having a family pic at the front and back of your album gives a good comparison of how everyone has changed. If you didn't want to do a photo, maybe a journalled summary of your year.

For the first page, what about a something simple. Maybe a plain background (I'm a sucker for Kraft) with a journaling card in the middle and little journaling about the project, what you wanted to get out of it, what it's purpose was, something like that? Then on the last page you could replicate it and talk about what it was like to follow through, what you learned, etc etc etc?

I haven't done mine yet, but I think I'm going to use a lot of elements! lol. I don't have the kits I'll need yet, but I know I want some random elements to represent some of the things that happened, or particular events clustered around my p365 title. I've got so many ideas, and can't wait to do the title page, but it'll be a bit before I can get all the other kits I'll want for it.

thanks for the ideas so far girls...keep them coming and Jacinda..I LOVE the simplicity of your 1st page and Col I LOVE the idea of jouraling what I expected and then what I learned at the end!

For my front page I had a pretty simple collage of a few of the photos from the year, but then for my back page I did this:



It was inspired by the challenge at Log Your Memory to create a LO with 100 things about 2009. I didn't really count (although I think I got close to 100), but I started making a list of things I remembered about the year. A lot of them were already covered in my pages, but I also ended up with some random stuff that I wouldn't have noted otherwise. I kept it pretty simple since I did it after I'd finished formatting the entire book for printing and just wanted the whole thing done (you're smart to do it before you are finished) - but I like how it turned out to be a summary of everything else in the book.
