Photo

It’s been a very busy week & I only have a few minutes for a quick post. I’m working on scrapping my photos for week 4 of my Project 365. In the mean time, I wanted to share this picture I took on Tuesday. It’s the Quarry Market here in SA and I took this snap shot from the window of a plane as we were landing…not bad considering how fast we were going!

Happy New Year Card

This year, there was SO much going on and I never found time to send Christmas cards...so, I decided to make a New Year's card instead.

Week 3

Here’s my lay out for Week 3! I scraped this page with the Harvest Spice kit by Shabby Princess. I lifted the template from this blog: http://fryskesdigiscraps.blogspot.com/ and modified it to fit my photos. Finding a way to put seven photos, journaling & embellishments on one page is quite a challenge…I may have to do more two page spreads for upcoming weeks!

Project 365, Week 2

Here are the Project 365 photos I took last week. It was a very busy week for me. I accepted a position with the March of Dimes to run the March for Babies in SA. We also had a few of our Nieces and on our Nephews in town for the weekend. We had a blast, but 3 kids are a lot of work!

To scrap this 2 page layout, I used a kit called Strawberry Delight by Annie Manning at http://www.paintthemoon.net/. I also used a Project 365 template created by Karen Maggie, Studio Crew Member for Scrapbookgraphics.

2008 Year in Review

I’m still working on scrapping my Project 365 photos from week 2 and plan to post them very soon. In the mean time, I finished my 2008 Year in Review page. I made a similar page for 2007 to document mine and SD’s first year being married and I hope to keep up this tradition for a long time.



I scrapped this LO with the sunshine wonder girl’s Sugared Fruit Topping kit available at http://www.sunshinestudioscraps.com/. I created the word art, stamp frame template and staples myself.

Fun Moments

Here are a few photos of the kids having fun at Olivia’s b-day party. Kristian, KK and Olivia are coming to town this weekend and we’ll be taking them to the zoo. I have a couple art projects planned and plenty of stuff to bake cookies – and if they get bored, they can always slide down the stairs on pillows like last time. I never lived in a house with stairs when I was a kid, so a makeshift pillow/stair slide was always one of my most favorite parts about visiting friends who did. I guess it’s a kid thing!

Project 365

There’s been a lot of buzz online about Project 365 so I’ve decided to participate this year. As part of this project, I’ll be taking one picture every single day – by then end of the year, my creative photography skills should be greatly enhanced. To take it a step further, I’m going to scrap each week’s photos and by the end of this year, I’ll have a magnificent record of each day of my life. It’s going to be exciting to look back and remember a little moment from each day. The past 2 years of my life have been pretty difficult, so it’s time for a turn around and I KNOW 2009 is going to be wonderful!



To scrap this layout, I used a kit called Spontaneous Delight by Carrie Stephens (http://www.carries.typepad.com/). How kismet - I decided to participate in this project the first time I read about it on this blog; it was a spontaneous decision that I am very delighted about. ;o)
