Project Life 2012: Week 6

February 26, 2012

Oh week 6 of 2012… I loved you so much! So many fantastic things happened! First off I took a cheese making class, then I watch the Giants beat the Patriots (AGAIN!) at the Super Bowl, and heading down to CT to go into NYC to see the parade. At that was just Sunday- Tuesday!

One of the thoughtful things I captured was that Price left a Cadbury Creme Egg in my coat pocket and I discovered it on my way to work. I think moments like that are often overlooked but they really matter. At least they do to me. So that is why I am glad to be doing PL so I could capture that sweet gesture.

Week 6: 

Full Spread

Not sure if I am going to add more photos from the parade on the back side of the 6×12. I keep debating it. We’ll see how I feel looking back at it in another week.

Left Side

 

One of the things I like most about getting up really early for work has been seeing the sunsets. I didn’t so much for adorning that photo besides some alphas and the patterned paper but I love it’s presence on the page.

Right Side

 

I enjoyed playing with the pattern of the paper for my journaling. It made that 2×3 piece of paper a lot more fun.

Unlock Your Story- Scrapbooking Class

November 14, 2010

I just completed an online scrapbooking class taught by Elizabeth Kartchner. She is one of my favorite scrapbookers and bloggers. This is the second class I have taken from her and I have enjoyed it jsut as much as the first one.

The class was called ” Unlock Your Story” which was focused on scrapbooking about yourself or even a close relationship and REALLY journaling about it. I was drawn to this class because I often find myself scrapbooking about things, and not myself. Additionally, my journaling is basic by just touching on what is happening at that moment and I really wanted to force myself to open up and develop my story, whatever that may be.

I signed up for the class and got the kit (Thanks Mom!) because I love getting to use what the teacher is using as well, maybe not the same way but I love having the same materials. That being said I used the class instructions as a starting point. I always stray from the agenda but always get something that I love in the end. Don’t get me wrong, it’s not that I didn’t like what Liz was teaching, but I always have that lesson to refer to so I might as well experiment a little bit and see what I come up with. If I don’t like it I can go back to the exact lesson plan, since that was what was really intended.

The thing I loved the most was getting to make paper flowers (shown on the first envelope). I know I will be using this technique in my own future pages. They are so lovely and add a lot of dimension to the page.

I have not done my journaling for the class yet since that was the main focus and I really could not focus on it these past 2 weeks. Plus, I knew that some of the things I would write would be reflective and rather private so I did not want it posted up on the blog. So my next step to wrap this up is to do the rest of the journaling.

If you have the chance to take a class that Liz is offering, jump at it. They are so much fun!
