Work, work, work....what else is new? It really gets in the way of our fun sometimes, doesn't it? I have also been working on my final project for my Portrait Photography class. I am looking forward to turning it in.
I am away this weekend and have been creating all kinds of great things. I have 2 Basic Grey layouts to share. Both were designed by Kelly Goree. I really love her work!
These kits are part of a monthly kit club from Basic Grey. They are so convenient. They take all of the guess work and indecision away, which is totally worth it for me given my current life/work/demands.
I have to admit that I also purchased 3 more kits from Janine at The Scrapbook Diaries. My LSS, (although they are not really an LSS any longer but still run crop weekends) consigns her kits. You are never disappointed in what Janine designs for you.
The most important project I have been working on this weekend is the travel journal for my Tanzania trip in August. I am using Cocoa Daisy's kit designed by Ali Edwards. I am really on a roll with it and have it pretty much completed for now. I know I will add more pages for photos and of course probably some journaling too, but at least when I get back I can sit down with all of my temporary notes and create my book.
I had downloaded the trip itinerary as well as Ali's instructions in order to help me plan how I wanted this journal to be.
I know this journal will be twice as thick as it is now, but at least here is a start. I used 1 1/2" binder rings here, but I have 2" binder rings just in case I need them. This is actually the last page of the journal, and the first page is the portion of the transparancy with Africa on it. Ali used the same transparancy for her Greece travel journal and I thought it was a great idea.
I have a couple of more projects to do and only a couple of more hours left to this crop. I hope to show you more this week.
Thanks for stopping by!
What a smart looking journal! It is fabulous even without the information in it yet! Have a wonderful trip and what really cute photos and cute layouts! Gotta love "girly" stuff.
