On a roll...

Managed to get 2 LO's done tonight - not masterpieces by any means but I just wanted to get the memories down....The next 4 weeks I will be concentrating on LO's for my Library of Memories course....see Stacy Julian's website for more info.

Last night's scrap-a-thon...

Yesterday I decided I had too many photos, too many memories and not enough to show for the ideas I had - SO i decided to do 3 no frills pages with a 40 minute time limit for each...they are all photos from the last few days. I have been really drawn to the Project 365 for this reason - current thoughts and memories.....I want to do a lot more pages like this in the future.

Today's efforts....

Since being motivated by the girls over at The Boxx, I am going to attempt to complete a Project 365 (Photo/Layout per day) - I do realise it's already May so I'm calling mine an Everyday Life Journal..... no frills scrapbooking...use up stash - not too much thought put into the design - as Ali Edwards says just concentrating on words + photos. I kind of like this idea - and I am going to modify it slightly - not everyday just whenever and I may keep it on going - since I have now taken on Stacy Julian's Photo Freedom and Library of Memories which is non chronological it will be kinda cool to have something on a yearly basis of everyday snapshots. The other thing that appeals to me is that I can use my everyday snapshots - which I do like but always end up editing for a 'good' layout - I kinda like looking back at our old family photo albums and seeing the kitchen table and what's on it. It's a real snapshot into everyday life and not so picture perfect.

Here's the 1st - not too sure of my format yet (this one is 8.5x11) but this could get a bit cumbersome - needs some extra thought.....

And the other one is a photo I have had laying on my desk for a couple of weeks and have had the 'zzzzzz' idea from Moi at The Boxx:

Here are some of my latest creations:

Firstly for The Boxx weekly challenge - Brown, Pink Aqua and White:

And secondly for last weeks

challenge on The Boxx :

Finally....

okay Tania - you can get off my case now - I have finally set up a new blog to showcase my creations. So where do I start? I'm in one of my 'got too many things on the go and don't know where to start' moods so here I am doing my usual thing and starting yet another project! Anyway, I'm hoping this blog will ease my creative burden so I can share things spontaneously and in no particular order - well that's the theory anyway....

So to begin with here are a couple of pics I took of the kids looking for puddles the other weekend. Mum probably should have checked there WERE puddles first before psyching the kids up to splash in them. They were nearly happy with my pretend puddle I spied but it didn't quite cut the grade - oh well, I tried...
