One Little Word - MINDFULNESS Album so Far

For the last week I have been putting this album together, for Ali Edwards' One Little Word.  I was a little lost at first, as I wanted to do a 4 by 6 inch  album, which is total different from what Ali is doing. I was Humming and Haring, do I just do the same everyone else or do i make it my own. The answer of cause  was "I make it my own". So I sort of manipulate, changed up the files we get for the downloads (I hope this is ok).

 At this stage, I kepted the pages very simple, however, I am sure as time goes by and once I worked out the style for this album I will most likely decorate them a bit more.

But right now the words are the most important aspect of this album.

 

#30lists : Day 10: At This Moment

I would not really call this a list, I sat at my computer and just wrote down what ever came to mind

 

At this moment….

My eye’s burn from not enough sleep

I am crafting while D plays WOW

The cat is too quiet,

He must be up to something

I don’t want to check

Today was a good day

A quite day

I was happy we spent this day at home

Gosh what is that music Daniel is playing WOW

Anyway like I was saying glad we spent the day at home

Got caught up on so much

Had time to get better

Now feel strong enough to go to work tomorrow

Ok, this MUSIC has to stop

Good it now gone….

Mumford and sons instead MUCH BETTER

Thinks it time to go to Bed

But won’t

Facebook games sound like much more fun

Than sleep

Changed my mind

Good night Folks

 

#30list: Day 8- Things That Remind Me of My Childhood

#30Lists : Day 3

I love so many people, and this list does not do them justice as i only listed four groups of them.... The People i love know who they are at that is what matters the most.

#30Lists : Day 2- I am Happiest When.....

I have fallen so behind on this challenge, first it was because I was busy with work and then I got sick... Finally on Saturday and had some time to sit down and get it up to date. (Yay), original I was going to do one group post for all the list I missed but I have decided that instead I am just going to post one an hour until they are all done. So here is the first one....

 

 

I am Happiest

when I am calm and relax

when I make time for myself

when I had an opportunity to listen to fantastic music and dance like a crazy woman

when i spend time in the great outdoors

when i fill loved

when i have had cuddles with the boy

when i have had good times with good friend

when i get time to create

when i have helped someone at work

when i have laughed so hard it hurts.

This is what makes me happy, what makes you happy?

Do You Remember This?

This is the Story of how this

became this

 

 

As you may remember last year I wrote myself a  list of stuff I wanted to achieve by my next birthday for the most part it was a failure, but in saying that the things I did achieve I was happy and pleased with. Howeve,r there was not enough to finish this mini album, so instead of it going to waste I redesigned it for my 30 lists project. I am super excited about this project, and now I get to use one of my all time favorite paper collections, October Afternoon thrift Store to documented it as well. I could not be happier.

Creative Me

The last two weeks have been super busy for me, and i will not bore you with the details but things are getting back to normal now! (YAY). So i thought i would share with you what i had been up to creatively lately since it has been a while, which is mainly because i have not felt like creating anything, which is why most likely my december daily is sitting in my too finish project pile!

I recently rejoined Challenge Masters, and have be browsing the blogs looking at scrapbooking pages to get some mo-jo back, and recently i found it!

I created the two LOs below for this month Challenge Masters:- Recipe and A day in the life challenges!

Recipe Challenge:

1. Three different patterned papers
2. Two pictures
3. letter stickers or some type of letters on the layout
4. chipboard
5. a deco edge. You can make this with a paper punch or homemade (i.e. ripped/torn) or cut from a edge of a pretty piece of paper.

Day in the life Challenge: Your challenge this month is to create a layout of someone acting "foolish"....funny faces, pranksters, dressing up silly, etc. If you don't have any pictures like that, how about telling a story through your journaling of a funny joke your child told you or something that left you feeling like a fool or silly!

Apart from that i have been working on two mini albums, one which is for all the polorid photos of our road trips from summer and the other is going to be for "around here", a documentation of my favorite things in our apartment right now!

Also, .I have discovered a new sketch blog called Sketch Support, thanks to Becky! I have not used any of the sketches yet  but i am have found one i want to use but am just waiting to find the perfect things to scrapbook about!

Mini Album: Book of List

.Since seeing Elise's Book of Lists, I have wanted to create my own. Recently Rachie of Complicate Simplicity (you can see Rachie's list here) started her own, so I decided just to get onto it!

I have written 7 lists, one for each week of the year so far, and will continue to write a list each week.... Now I am slowly just put them into the Mini album, which i share with you as i get the finish!

Mini Album: Monthly Faves

With the left over paper from my book of list i create this little mini album, to list my monthly favorties each month.

Challenge masters: January Book of Me Challenge

A new month brings new challenges at Challenge Masters., and though my scrap room is a complete mess and is not really conducive to doing scrapping, I manage to complete the book of me challenge.

This month Challenge was to create any project documenting " you goals, resolutions for the new year".
So I created this little mini album so i can document my goals, as I achieve them.
