On a Roll

So, in the last hour, I have...

• Finished the cover for my Learn Something New Every Day folder
• Designed (ha ha) a sketch for each page - hopefully this will make it easier to do each page. I won't have to think about a new layout each day
• Done Day 1
• Done Day 2
• Done Day 3

I have gone with the idea of using up my stash. So, I'm using a binder from Paperchase (a birthday present back in April), the cardstock is Papermania from a couple of years back and the papers are a Basic Grey set I bought earlier in the year. It's a Christmas set - but just my sort of colours, and I don't think they look too Christmassy, and I really don't think I will use them all up at Christmas...

The pics aren't great - taken on a really gloomy day, about 15 minutes after any reasonable light was around, as there were no batteries charged for the camera when I was ready...


Oh, and I had some "help" from Charlie


back soon...

1st September 2009

Ok, so I didn't actually manage to post yesterday about what I learned on the first - are you confused as well? But, I have a reason - or excuse.

After a day at work, I picked the girls up from home, dove to Ikea, and spent five (yes, five) hours there. Then drove on the motorway in torrential rain, to finally get home at 10 pm. Then I had to go to look after my Mom and Dad's cat and house. Not bad, as reasons (excuses) go, is it?

So, I haven't actually done a page yet, or finished my cover page... But, I have a plan! I will be able to catch up at the crop on Saturday! As well as decorate a post box for my friend's wedding...

And, what did I learn on the first?

"Teenage Daughters love you, when they want a lift home, in the rain."

Learn Something New Every Day

So, I've signed up for my first ever on-line class, Shimelle's "Learn Something New Every Day"...

I've got some cardstock, some papers and some embellishments ear-marked. Now I just need to work really hard in class - and learn something new every day!!! Not really a problem, I know I learn new stuff all the time... The problem will be my utter lack of organisation, and taking the time to identify what I've learned - but that's one (or two) of the reasons I'm taking the class.

This is day one - and I think I know what I've learned today - but, the day's not over yet, and there could be something even more important to be learnt.

Not to put even more pressure on myself - but I'm also aiming to blog what I've learned, each and every day in September.

See you tomorrow...

Edited - something else I've learned today - how to add a blinkie...
