Thriving your way
April seems a long time ago, although my pictures make me think maybe we had better weather then now in August. Here’s what we were doing in April: spent Easter on the Isle of Purbeck, Dorset Started planting our Cosmos seedlings in the garden (it is strange seeing them this small because they are taking over the flowerbeds now) Children enjoyed making mud pies M went to his first birthday party without his big sister I went Continue Reading …
Okay then, I admit I’m not up to date with my Project 365 layouts, but the key thing is I’m still making progress. Time has been a problem, but also the fact that my laptop memory is full so I’ve struggled to review pictures. I’m not sure I’m completely happy with the papers I’ve chosen for some of these layouts (particularly the last two that appear to be a bit psychedelic), but finished is better Continue Reading …
I’ve slipped a little bit on my weekly layouts and I’m two weeks behind despite my new Project 365 organisation system. However, it is important with Project 365 to keep going and if I reach the end of December just two weeks behind I’ll be very happy. How are you doing with your Project 365 pictures? How are you planning to share them? Lots of things happened in February (weeks 5 – 8) including going to Continue Reading …
This is the third year I’ve done Project 365 and I love the snapshot of life provided by the scrap layouts I produce. This is the year I’m going to finish my layouts so I can make a book at the end of the year, and thanks to my new Project 365 organisation system I am doing well producing a layout each week. During January we changed all our windows and doors. This has been Continue Reading …
Taking a photo a day is a great way of recording big and little moments of life, from family activities to the weather. I’ve taken a photo a day for the last two years and learnt it is important to have a Project 365 organisation system to keep on top of all the pictures you take. The tasks I’ve found hardest are collating the pictures I’ve taken on different devices and selecting just one picture Continue Reading …
It is easier to keep up to date with Project 52 / Project 365 when you do them regularly because you remember where to find the files and the order to do things so each one is finished quicker. I’ve been focussing on my layouts recently in an attempt to catch up so I’ve completed the layouts for March already and hope to finish April soon as well. One of the things I love above being Continue Reading …
The aim with Project 52 / Project 365* is to keep up to date with layouts because there is already another week happening. I’m not doing as good as I’d like with this as I’ve recently just completed my February layouts, however I intend to catch up before the end of the year. The templates I’ve created are working really well, but I’m finding it difficult to identify appropriate pictures quickly. This is a general Continue Reading …
I started 2014 with a new plan for my Project 52 / Project 365* layouts, having learnt a lot from my first year in 2013 (yes I admit I haven’t quite finished the pages yet). I like the simple approach of using just papers and no embellishments so I simply rotated the template so it looks different to last year’s layouts. I also improved my templates so it is easier to mix and match the Continue Reading …
