Yay, project 365 layouts caught up again :)

Scrapbooking My OOOPS shot.

Sometimes I forget that running the DSLR in Manual for Sunday morning church means that I set it for bad light, dark conditions, etc...so I rush outside to get cute pics of kids...and get washout. That would be almost white. That's what happened with my photo of the day today, but I USED IT ANYWAY because I LOVED IT :)

Anyhow, I scrapped it mostly with the DARLING *Alien World* kit that I won from Little Dreamer Designs over {inter}National Scrapbook Day [weekend] on their Facebook wish granting frenzy! The only things that aren't from that kit are the piece of string and the ric rac and they are from WHO REALLY KNOWS WHERE - they're in so many kits by so many people, recolored, retrimmed, flipped, chopped and rotated. SO, no credits for string and ricrac. sorry.

I love the single photo layouts all over, the simple ones that TaylorMade always has with her high contrast photos and simple text (and her team as well - they're amazing). What I am not fond of is having the photo so teeny tiny that the page is mostly empty with a postage stamped sized photos. I think I sort of balanced this alright - I can tell this is Ruby. Nothing really to say about the photo - I goofed up shooting it, but she's busy throwing that beanie for the dog and she's just delighted to be doing so :) Liz also has fantastic stuff for the simple scrap (and I have a terrible time scrapping that way, so her quick pages and templates rock!) I have some of the Paislee Press quick page books - and they are awesome (I have actually used 1 or 2 pages...after I messed with recoloring them and all sorts of stuff because I couldn't leave well enough alone, but I can now...I promise).

Now, I am going go scrap with some of myNSD goodies. All night. For real...unless I fall asleep :) I do have a spread started about Ruby being a Ninja Spy Snake that can wah-puh-choooie things...
no wah-puh-chooie yet, but I took these today on the correct settings.
Taylor Made word art, Kasia papers and elements mostly from "Sweet Blossom" - the photo mask for the large photo came from "Winter Romance."

Last 2 weeks - 365 layouts :)

Not a whole
lot to say, just thought I would share these latest layouts :)

I am again caught up with my 365 Scrap

Yippee!! So, I have finished up March and Started April already - time FLIES folks - it's crazy how quickly it goes by. And this represents only 2 weeks of our life...can you believe that? Only 2 weeks - and it's only ONE photo from each day (you should all know by now, I take more than one a day...)

At any rate, it's fun keeping up with this project (and I will eventually fill in the blanks with other photos from these days/months - so each month will have it's own *volume* in the scrapbook series).

Sunday...real life

The clock was wrong, so we were EARLY to church...but had hurried and missed breakfast, so we drove through Taco Bell and went down to the California Street Dock.

Had a great service, saw the *torch* of the Youth Leader be passed from Michael who's on his way to special training before he deploys to Iraq in May...to Bill. It's an emotional time at Landmark, as Michael prepares to deploy.

We got home, I made potato soup (with bacon...and I'd like to say collard greens, but who knows, could have been swiss chard or mustard greens...I didn't exactly pay attention, I just grabbed a bundle of green leafy stuff that was $0.99).

Then tea. Wish I could tell you we all agreed on one flavor...but no. Abby wanted chai. I'm feeling more green than black chai sweet today. And Kurt, he wanted coffee. So we are breaking in the new little orange teapot...it was cute. It came with a brew basket. It was orange. How do you tell it, NO - I CAN'T BUY YOU?? Well, if you are me, you don't :) You just buy it and pretend you NEEDED another teapot (help me Angie, now is when I need your help...)(it's worse than just the orange one, but the others, well they are at someone else's place until they decide which one(s) they want to keep).

And now, I'm sleepy, but it's BEAUTIFUL out - how could I NOT go to the beach?? Well, it is 4 now, so beautiful, sunny, no wind - still doesn't mean warm.

Photos...and the rest will be at winkflash soon - the ones with E or e at the end - those are edits

This Week's 365 layouts :)

Shot today...24 March 2009

hmm. i got lost during page 2

i like page 1 better, it's simple and fills the page...
page 2 - something went wrong. there was too much empty space.
now there's too much stuff on it and it doesn't match page 1 and i don't like it.
whatever. it's a done deal. it's flattened and just to eliminate temptation, the psd file has been deleted. phew. See how crazy they look side by side? and i was liking page 1 so much :D

today's untouched photos

will be posted at winkflash because the blog is stored at picasa and when it resizes for web display - they're yucky.

PLEASE CHECK by date in my WINKFLASH albums :)

Today is 2009_03_17

the rest of the edits

Finished Page 2 of Second Week of March

YAY - first pages of MARCH 365 project

Eventually I am going to have to do the fill in pages, because my plan is to have a whole volume (20 to 30 page book) for each month - because we really do have that many photos, but for now, I am happy to keep up with the ONE chosen daily photo :)

Oahu Photos and my 365 layouts

for starters, you can find the oahu photos Wednesday through Sunday HERE and the other days that are at Picasa will be moved over soon...currently they are at PICASA TUESDAY and MONDAY

and finally, my 365 layouts for the first 15 days of February - I even scrapped on vacation :D I just put all 4 into one preview :D

I am keeping up!
