Projects and Other Things

If only I could be back here right now. I took this while on my road trip and wonderful vacation in Georgia. I have decided to attempt Project 365 which is explained better on Becky Higgins' Blog. I saw the project in the Creating Keepsakes magazine January 2009 issue and really liked the way they scrapbooked the photo for each day.

I don't have any completed layouts as of yet. And I defiantly couldn't afford the kit which had problems anyway. So I have decided to make my own method. I will use the layout/sketch that the project's page protectors make but on my own 12 x 12 paper. This a great first project to break into 12 x 12 scrapbooking as I have only done 8 x 8 so far. I will use the top four photos in 3.5 x 5 size with the journaling blocks along the bottom probably 3.5 X 2 in size.

I haven't completely made up my mind as not every page is going to be the same along the bottom. I have some great premade tag pads made by K&Company and ColorBok that I will be using as well. All in all my pages will be unique for each weeks photos. I also have decided to start with January 1st, I will just go from Thursday to Wednesday on each two page layout. Overall I will not push too hard for this challenge, and I find myself with to many things to take photos of each day. I may get around to posting them here along with the completed layouts, I might not. Right now I have other things to focus on. Like school and my living area :) I will make a new post for the photos I have so far.

Hey! I spent a few hours this afternoon walking on the Noland Trail and taking photos. Then I went to target and got them scanned. Still using my mom's camera for fun. I know photography is over but my photographic journey is only beginning. Can't you just imagine sitting on those benches chatting about anything and everything? I can't wait until December 15th. Until then I will be imagining long hikes in the woods as far away from civilization as I can get, all with my sweet heart <3

P.S. - There are more photos on my Flickr.

Less than 40 days!

Gyah! There are less than 40 days until I get to see Hector! I am so excited! I got so much accomplished today too. It must be the research paper looming on the horizon that makes me get so much done. My room is so clean and I have a new layout finished for my scrapbook! XD

First Post!

Hello blogland!

I originally wanted a blog for my beloved to keep up with what I am doing in my life. He is currently in boot camp and can't access this blog, but once he gets to Advanced Training he will read it every day ;P I do send him letters every day, but there is only so much I can cram into that tiny envelope!

I also wanted a blog to share my stuff! I have been using craftster for so long that I cant remember when I started there. But, I have all of my posts and things spread out on different boards! I decided that here would be a better place to store them all together.

Don't worry I am going to be perking this place up soon with a new heading and all that cute stuff. Hopefully Ill get it right the first time so I wont gather any haterz (thats right, I said haterz with a Z). So stay tuned. He will have a lot of catching up to do.

Edited to add: I updated the colors, I just couldn't stand it being so plain.
