<br />
I've had the transparency for years and years so I decided to add it over the photograph and tags etc.
<br />
<br />

The title is quite simple... my initals and the year.... <br />
<br />
I inked the cardstock to add some more detail and interest. Washi tape is at the top of each tag (I have a lot of washi tape so I try to use some on each project).Love my Tim Holtz tiny attacher.... which is holding the transparency in place.<br />
<br />
So happy that I've finally used this camera transparency!<br />

I've decided to start a new blog. I can start again with labels (since there isn't an easy way to delete the ones that aren't needed) and hopefully get a good feeling with a new blog. I've been very indecisive about this for a while and finally decided to go ahead and do it!<br />
<br />
This blog is feeling stale and... I'm still not sure..... Should I try to revamp this one or start over again?? <br />
<br />
The problem now is...<br />
<br />
what name/title/blog address should I use???<br />
<br />
If you have any ideas or suggestions on how to keep this blog and make it better please share!<br />

My system is currently to think about what photographs to take and to make notes during the week and then getting everything printed and done on the weekends.
<a href="http://s1356.beta.photobucket.com/user/jenimachon/media/Project%20Life%202013/IMG_4374_zps72a93713.jpg.html" target="_blank"><img alt="Week Three photo IMG_4374_zps72a93713.jpg" border="0" height="212" src="http://i1356.photobucket.com/albums/q739/jenimachon/Project%20Life%202013/IMG_4374_zps72a93713.jpg" width="320" /></a><br />
Week Three<br />
All these photographs were taken on the Friday. It never snows in Guernsey! So when it did this year and my Mom woke me up early I was quickly onto the cameras to get lots of shots! I used three cameras in total. My big DSLR, my camera phone (and I figured out how to get the photographs onto my computer so I could print them) and one Instax shot.<br />
<a href="http://s1356.beta.photobucket.com/user/jenimachon/media/Project%20Life%202013/IMG_4375_zps383c0c82.jpg.html" target="_blank"><img alt="Week Four photo IMG_4375_zps383c0c82.jpg" border="0" height="213" src="http://i1356.photobucket.com/albums/q739/jenimachon/Project%20Life%202013/IMG_4375_zps383c0c82.jpg" width="320" /></a><br />
Week Four<br />
I'm still not sure how to use the 6x6 page protectors. I searched for a way to print a 12x12 photographs but it seems expensive to get this done so I printed out my photographs at 5x7 and cut them to size. I had a couple sick days this week so read a few books while resting and feeling yucky.<br />
<br />
I'm looking for other Project Lifers who blog! I like reading and seeing what other people are doing... any blogs recommendations??Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1625657561022525515.post-9796046567820498082013-01-15T03:00:00.000+00:002013-01-15T03:00:00.069+00:00100 Books and New 50 Books<div style="text-align: center;">

<br />
In December 2011 I thought it would be interesting to keep track of all the books I read in 2012.</div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
In February I decided to have an aim of 100.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
100 books is a nice round number.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
And pretty much unreachable....</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
So I just kept reading and kept aiming for as many books as possible. I read 38 books in 2012.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
My aim for 2013 is more attainable. 50 books.</div>

I'm already half way through book three. Would you like to join me?

<div style="text-align: left;">
This week I had to think of what to include... not much is happening right now so I listed all the clothes that I wear to work (thermals, extra socks, fleeces etc) and plan on doing another one like this in Summer.
</div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
We watched NCIS and CSI a few times. I just need to add an 'art' card in the bottom right corner - haven't got any inspiration right now.</div>

Looking forward to documenting more. I am printing out digital cards to use in the pockets and am planning on having all these in a box for easy access. Maybe I will make a box for the cards instead of searching for a plastic box the right size....</div>

Edit labels/tages (but it is taking so much time - can't there be an easier way)<br />
Do my "Snapshots of 2012" album and get an ebook about it up.<br />
Revamp my blog design. (Although this is just a distraction).<br />
Tidy up the craft room. Even just putting the alphabets stickers away would be good.<br />
<br />
But I don't really have any motivation to do any of this right now. Hope I'm not getting a really bad cold.... (haven't really been that bad this winter). <br />

My front cover. Usually I don't decorate the covers like this, but its for Christmas. I used some <a href="http://www.studiocalico.com/shop/mister-huey-s-masks?page=1">Mister Hueys</a> mists. Stamps. Washi tape (which isn't really sticking) and some <a href="http://www.studiocalico.com/shop/wonderland/wonderland-mistable-snowflakes">Studio Calico Mistables </a>- which are lovely!</div>

Tomorrow is my XXth birthday so I have an idea what my photograph will be. I horribly will have to go to work too. Wearing lots of layers from now til Spring time.

I've just photographed some of the pages. I love the kit that Ali Edwards gave us. But normally I wouldn't have picked these papers and colours. I tend to go towards bright but that's the good thing about kits. It makes you think about other styles and different colours than you would usually work with.<br />

I learnt a lot from the classes with Ali. Like, you can cut page protectors and you can put stickers and embellishments on the outside of page protectors.<br />

It was a fun adventure. I'm still tired and its cold here!!! I really loved the crafting and sightseeing parts.<br />
You'll have to wait until the weekend for me to have some energy to upload some photographs. I've done a little bit in my journal today... maybe a craft evening is in store....Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1625657561022525515.post-72127204435323461002012-10-05T10:29:00.001+01:002012-10-05T10:29:34.102+01:00Ireland Packing EtcAlmost time for our holiday. Yesterday was a lovely day! Nice and sunny. And what should have been a quick 10 minute trip to town turned into a couple hours and buying a few more things. Both me and Mom got some gorgeous furry gilets from FatFace to take on holiday.<br />

I guess I should go pack a few more things now. My wonderful brother is being our taxi to the airport. I wish I could find those little tags I bought to go in our travel album.... oh well...

I've found out that I like to see the progress of a layout. I've had the idea to take this photograph for a while and made myself take it yesterday. I got a new sunburst template so tried it out on this layout. Originally I just drew a brown line around the stencil and then I remembered that I had this transparency from Hambly. But using the whole sheet just looked too busy so I drew the stencil on the transparency and cut out the sunbursts.<br />

I ripped some strips from some cloud patterned paper that I've had for a while, and added some Tim Holtz Ribbon Ruler with my tiny attacher. (I love my tiny attacher)! <br />

I finished the layout with AC thickers and KaiserCraft stickers to spell out "The boots are made for walkin'". Wrote some simple journaling along the sunburst lines. I'm trying to make more of an effort to use the letter stickers and add more to my layouts to make them look really amazing. Is there anything else I could add?Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1625657561022525515.post-63435819289961380702012-09-21T14:30:00.000+01:002012-09-21T14:30:02.411+01:00Rearranging Space.<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

My new office area/desk for the laptop. I spent an hour trying to get connected to the wifi internet!!!!! so just ended up moving the laptop over here. I sort of like it. My 'new' desk is quite high but that's something easy to get used too. It means I won't be slouching as much and I will be sitting here typing properly. It feels more officie too - if that makes sense.<br />
<br />
I just need to get some pens and notepaper over here so I can jot things down, and we need to get the noticeboard up on the wall too. I've added two craft related posters already. (One from <a href="http://www.papercoterie.com/blog/free-printable-ali-edwards/">papercoterie </a>and one from <a href="https://www.facebook.com/scrapbookcom?ref=ts">scrapbook.com's facebook </a>page.)<br />
<br />
I am definately going to like having a whole desk for my craft work and not having to share some of the space with computerly stuff... Just need to figure out what to do with the printer cable and tidy up a little.<br />

I am loving my new butterflies tattoo. I've got three little butterflies fluttering around on my arm. I didn't really think about the healing part though. I have to be really careful with how I can move my arm and being careful not to hit them!<br />

My Mom has been putting all our baby photographs into separate American Crafts albums. It been fun to look through these old photographs and see what my Mom was like when she was younger. I've been photographing some so we can print out extra copies. The little baby in the photo above is my eldest brother Danny, so these photos are from 1977.<br />
<br />
I'm trying to decide on a new blog design.... I like the styles of the ones at <a href="http://www.shabbyblogs.com/">shabby blogs</a> but I can't decide which one to use... I want something that relates to my blog and is pretty and modern.... and that I can use for a long long time... In the past, I've gotten bored quickly and changed my blog design quite often... Any suggestions??

Today was a nice pink painterly day. I'm actually out of pink paint right now. The black bits in the above photograph are the wooden pages of my Camera Album. I wanted to have black pages so my colour photographs will really pop out. Journalling will be on strips of white card.... I will show you when it's finished. (hopefully this year).<br />

This photograph of the pink nail polish has been sitting on my desk for a few months and I finally got round to scrapping it today. I sprayed pink mist over the ampersand mask then used the inner from an empty roll of double sided tape as a circle stamp. Drew black lines around some of circles and the "&". Cut out a circle to used doubled up foam dots to cover a blank space in the photograph, and finished it off with simple glittered alphabet letters from American Crafts (which have been sitting around here for a while). I'm just leaving it to dry completely before putting it in the album.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1625657561022525515.post-3185087334207925602012-08-27T15:22:00.001+01:002012-08-27T15:22:39.867+01:00Saying Goodbye...<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

All my sunflowers are now looking like this.... time to say goodbye to their beautiful colours....<br />
We will be collecting the seeds and planting more sunflowers next year.<br />
