I\u2019ve noticed in the forum that so many scrappers want to do a version of Project 52, whether it involves daily photographs, a weekly theme, or picking one big moment of the year! <\/p>\n<p>At Gingerscraps, you\u2019re able to earn up to 4 (FOUR!) challenge points a month (<a href=\"https:\/\/forums.gingerscraps.net\/showthread.php?28239-P52-FAQs\" target=\"_blank\">full explanation available here in the Gingerscraps forum<\/a>). If you have any questions relating to that, please ask there. Thank you!<\/p>\n<p>This series, which will be posted each Wednesday, will focus on different aspects of the challenge. Today, for example, will be focus on some inspiration!<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>Next week, the plan is to show off some of the <a href=\"https:\/\/forums.gingerscraps.net\/showthread.php?28249-COVERS!!\" target=\"_blank\">cover designs<\/a> that scrappers have currently shared. <\/p>\n<p>So, let\u2019s get to the <a href=\"https:\/\/forums.gingerscraps.net\/showthread.php?28240-INSPIRATION!!\" target=\"_blank\">Inspiration<\/a>!<\/p>\n<p>The hardest part, I\u2019ve found, with starting this project is WHERE to start. What do I take pictures of? Is this too boring? Too basic?<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m pretty well known at Gingerscraps as the one who\u2019ll even take pictures of the washing machine filling up, so I will take pictures of ANYTHING.<\/p>\n<p><a title=\"Colorful Water by Sarah Burkett, on Flickr\" href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/sarahcb21\/4869355872\" data-flickr-embed=\"true\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"Colorful Water\" src=\"https:\/\/farm5.staticflickr.com\/4096\/4869355872_f4427f7348_z.jpg\" width=\"640\" height=\"427\" \/><\/a><script async src=\"\/\/widgets.flickr.com\/embedr\/embedr.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m here to tell you that it doesn\u2019t matter what you take pictures of! Just take those pictures. Get into the action and take lots of pictures. Even if you never use them, you\u2019ll treasure those memories, I promise.<\/p>\n<p>One scrapper shared this great video on planning your approach. It\u2019s more for paper, but modifications can easily be made for doing it digitally!<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" height=\"281\" src=\"\/\/player.vimeo.com\/video\/115481920\" frameborder=\"0\" width=\"500\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" mozallowfullscreen=\"mozallowfullscreen\" webkitallowfullscreen=\"webkitallowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/vimeo.com\/115481920\">Pocket Your Year &#8211; Plan Your Approach<\/a> from <a href=\"https:\/\/vimeo.com\/user7812368\">The Nerd Nest<\/a> on <a href=\"https:\/\/vimeo.com\">Vimeo<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Laura shared a great idea on how to keep organized, because that is another big issue (I know I have that problem too):<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>I also download my photos into monthly folders on my computer and when I need to find a photo I just click on Day in that folder and it sorts the photos by the day that I need. <\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>WONDERFUL idea! <\/p>\n<p>A few scrappers <a href=\"https:\/\/forums.gingerscraps.net\/showthread.php?28311-APPS!!\" target=\"_blank\">shared some great apps<\/a>, and I\u2019ll focus on those later on, I promise. I don\u2019t know much about IOS, but I know a lot of y\u2019all use it, and we\u2019ll work on getting some information that way. I\u2019m an Android girl, and I can answer most questions about that.<\/p>\n<p>One scrapper, <a href=\"https:\/\/forums.gingerscraps.net\/member.php?u=18529\">lynnw<\/a>, already has her first week done, and it looks wonderful!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/gallery.gingerscraps.net\/showphoto.php?photo=173698&amp;title=wk-1a&amp;cat=684\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/i1270.photobucket.com\/albums\/jj606\/gingerscraps1\/2015\/P52%20Blogging\/wk1a.jpg\" width=\"290\" height=\"311\" \/><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/gallery.gingerscraps.net\/showphoto.php?photo=173697&amp;title=wk-1b&amp;cat=684\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/i1270.photobucket.com\/albums\/jj606\/gingerscraps1\/2015\/P52%20Blogging\/wk1b.jpg\" width=\"290\" height=\"311\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>She\u2019s doing them in 2-page format, and that\u2019s actually the route I\u2019m going to follow (it still only counts as 1-point per week, in case you\u2019re curious on that). You can do a single-page per week, a double-page, whatever you want!
