I think that it has been clear that I have been looking for a year-long project to replace last year's 365:2010. I am throughly enjoying Yesterday & Today at BPC, but that class ends at the end of the month (although I will continue to add stories and memories to it). Likewise, One Little Word … Continue reading Project Life
One of my favourite scrapping projects this week ~ recording all the details of your day. (Remember last year's Week In The Life? I guess it's something that Ali Edwards is also a fan of.)As luck would have it, I chose the Friday of half-term week, when DS and I were at my mum's house. A … Continue reading Yesterday & Today: Week 9
Week 8 was all about perspective: the perspective that I have on my life and Ali suggested various headings ~ see, dream, live, make, go, eat, play, work, am, think and love. This was the DLO that I'd planned on finishing while at my mum's. Did that happen? 'Course not. The design for this DLO … Continue reading Yesterday & Today: Week 8
We are home again after a wonderful week with my mum. DS is almost himself again, thankfully.I didn't get any scrapping done, but I did get to show off my Yesterday & Today album ...and I did come home with a treasure trove of old photo albums, an Army service record and copies of birth, … Continue reading Home
Today, according to all retailers, the Western World has been busy celebrating romantic love. I've never been a huge fan of Valentine's Day ~ too many years of suffering co-workers who were all loved up when I was resolutely single, I suppose! Mind you, it's very nice that DH likes to make a fuss, so I'm not really complaining.But, … Continue reading Association Of Ideas
The suggestion from Ali this week was to consider the then & now stories. LOs that detail information from yesterday and today, stories based on both facts and feelings (similar to week 4). Making the most of a Solo Sunday, I was able to finish off two LOs that I'd made a start on on … Continue reading Yesterday & Today: Week 7
I have given in and purchased Photoshop Elements 9 (along with PSE9 For Dummies). It arrived this morning and has duly been installed on to my PC.But, here's the thing ... I don't understand it. The reasoning behind the purchase was to make full use of the journaling stuff offered with the Yesterday & Today … Continue reading Crossing To The Dark Side?
A perfect one for me this week, as it was all about creating LOs where yesterday combined with today. A veritable rouges' gallery, if you will. Or, put another way, a family historian's delight.These photos are all from my mum's side of the family and mostly from her mum's line. My maternal grandfather came from the north … Continue reading Yesterday & Today: Week 6
This week, I thought it might be fun to take part in Sian's Storytelling Sunday series. As previously mentioned here, I've been looking back a lot lately and laughing at photos from 30 years or more ago ~ all down to the Yesterday & Today class I'm taking with Ali Edwards at BPC.I belong to a family fortunate enough to … Continue reading Storytelling Sunday
The idea this week was to look at telling stories without the use of a photo ~ something that I never do. Ali's suggestion was to begin with a list of things/facts that you would like your child/ren (and possibly future generations) to know about you.Here's what I came up with:Scrapping in a 6x12 format … Continue reading Yesterday & Today: Week 5
