LOAD May11 Day 31

Throughout the month of May I’m participating in LOAD – Layout a Day with Lain Ehmann. We will be doing one scrapbook layout a day for every day in May. To make it extra exciting we are given little challenges each day to incorporate into our layouts. How’s that for a challenge!

I will be using this opportunity to do 31 more pages for my “100 things about me” album. Today’s page is not for this album as it’s more about just how I was feeling.

Here is my 31st layout – LOAD May11 Day31 – Life is full of New Beginnings.

Today we had to create a page about a beginning or an ending in your life you want to celebrate. The photos are of our house knock down and rebuild which finished Feb 25 2010. The journaling is more general about new beginnings and change. It reads as follows~ “Whether it be the birth of a child, the sprouting of a seed, the building of a house, life is always full of new beginnings. We are constantly evolving, changing, demolishing the old, making room for the new. Spring cleaning. Decluttering our homes. Decluttering our lives. Changing jobs. Changing careers. Finding new hobbies. Finding a purpose. Always Searching.” (one might say a slightly better mood than yesterday! )

So that’s it. LOAD is over. Now what do I do?

Here is my 30th layout – LOAD May11 Day30 – Delete! A day of Ups and Downs -> mostly downs

Today we had to follow our heart and go with the flow. I had a crappy crapola day so I scrapped about it, collecting ephemera  along the way. I’ve used a train ticket, a text message conversation with Hub, a photo of a photo book (see project 365 day 150), and an article from MX … a daily newspaper handed out at train stations. I used happy colors to contrast the crappy mood

Here is my 29th layout – LOAD May11 Day29 – My First LOAD May 2011

Today’s challenge is to look back over the pages we’ve done this month. I chose to do a 2 page layout so I could see if there was any pattern developing in my style. But I found that my style would change depending on the subject I’m scrapping about and on my mood.
