A little something I've been working on...........


I've got a few things on the go at the moment and this year is the year to finish what I start.
I have had a few little mini's that I've done the covers but haven't progressed any further. This one though wasn't sitting for long though, along with my Werribee Zoo & Mansion mini's.

This little Maya Road House album I transformed for our little Holiday House we are building. So the album can't be finished until the house is finished, but I can work on it slowly like the house.
I've done it in the colours that we'll be painting and hopefully furnish the inside with.
Grey with white trims and pale yellow for the inside wall/s.





I can't wait to print out the photos from when we first got the land to the stage we are up to now.
I am going to have some scrappy time on my hands to get my projects up to date.
I finish work in a week and I have cut back my days to 1 day a week to spend more time with the kids and time to keep the house maintained.
Plus I am heading into hospital in a few hours and when I get back in a couple of days, it will be strict rest for a week.
So plenty of time to scrap!! {if I'm in the mood for it}

See you all in a few days!!

365 +1 in 2012............

Who is participating in the taking a photo a day in 2012???

I did it last year AND completed it. Just a few near the end to add in.
I use Shuttercal.com to upload all my photos into and it was so easy. Even using the Iphone app made it so much easier to participate in.

But, this year, I wanted to have a hard copy so the kids could look through it.
So I made up these little 7gypsies book covers which are a little smaller than a 6x4 photo.


I plan on one photo per page with patterned paper on the back complimenting the opposite page's photo. On the patterned paper, I plan to journal what the photo was about, where, when and why.
So more like a story book.
I will have the day number or word on each page or photo. I haven't decided that yet.

I've been good so far even though I haven't been doing much due to a rolled ankle last week and doctors orders are REST IT!!
I was able to scrap all weekend so finished my December Daily and starting this.
I know it's going to get a lot fatter than what it is now, so may have to replace those gorgeous binding rings to larger silver ones or ribbon.
The button on the cover in the camera lens will act as an 'anchor' to hold the book shut with some elastic coming from the back cover.

Are you doing it??
How are you recording your photos??
