I’m linking up with Kim from Frogpondsrock for Sunday Selections. I hit another milestone this week – day 300 of my project 365. Here are some pics from this week – and a recipe!

Day 299 – More Pretties.

I love it when the postman knocks on my door. Here’s this months kit….

Day 301 – Chocolate Cigarettes.

It’s been a loooong time since I had a cigarette, about 12 years. Tonight DH brought these home. Lucky (no pun intended) they were only chocolate.

Day 302 – Paper Lantern.

What Grace gets up to instead of doing her homework… when she’s not playing PlayStation or on her iPod.

{Create} The MotherLOAD week 4 …the end

Posted in Create, LOAD, Scrapbook by LearnCreateDo

One of the classes I’m participating in at the moment is Lain Ehmann’s “The MotherLOAD” over at Big Picture Classes. We’ve been in class since 29th June undergoing basic training for our scrap marathon (a LayOut A Day for 26 days) which started on the 1st Sep. For this LOAD I am doing a mix of digital and traditional scrapbooking, depending on my mood and whether or not I’ve had the photo’s printed

Week 1 can be found here, week 2 is here, and week 3 is here.

Now here are my last 5 layouts (apologies for blocked out photos but DH and Grace have requested their faces not be shown here) :

Day 22 – Thoughtful Thursday On this day we had to scrap about the endings in our life. My last few pages have been a bit of a downer so I decided today to scrap a happy time…. the end of 2010 – New Years Eve on Magnetic Island.
Supplies:
Digi Template by Katie Pertiet – Capturing Layered Template
Digi Paper by Vinnie Pearce – Old Things Papers

Day 23 – Free-for-All Friday Today’s challenge was to capture your life in numbers. Ali’s kit “10 things right now” is perfect for this.
Supplies:
Digi Template by Ali Edwards – 10 Things Layered Template
Digi Papers + Elements by Mindy Terasawa – Wonders Kit

Day 24 – Snack Saturday – Today we get to scrap whatever we want using our “snack bags” that we made up in basic training, but we also had to add lyrics or a song title to our page. I’m loving the Twilight soundtracks and one of my favorite (rather melancholic) songs is Possibility by Lykke Li. My snack bag had the chipboard heart, brads, flowers and the journal tag under the title. I was only going to write a line or two from the lyrics. Instead I ended up writing two verses. I guess this is why you should plan your journaling before you start writing!
