Project 365 - August

I am now up to date with my monthly photo collage (well apart from November, but given it's only December 3, I think that's ok).

August - I really struggled with this layout, I think because I have scrapped the main photo (in the middle before), and so was having issues picking papers. In the end I got there, and I am really happy with how the layout turned out.

Because it was such a busy/full layout, I decided to keep the embellishing really simple, and chose to highlight one main journaling point with a label, and little butterfly.

Highlights from the month include: going out on Jamie's boat for the first (and last, for me) time, Benji stood all by himself, Lily was a sick with a chest infection, and Vanessa and I booked our tickets to Kuala Lumpur for our birthday next year.

I've really enjoyed this project, and can't believe I only have two more layouts to do and the album will be finished.

Next year I have decided to do Project Life - I'm so excited, and can't wait to get started. I already have so many ideas about things I want to include in my album - lets just hope I can keep up!

Project 365 Catch Up

I was a little (ok, lots) slack! And didn't scrap any of my monthly collage photos for the past couple of months - but over the past week, I have rectified that, and now actually have only one month left to do.

June - I actually did this one at a retreat in July, but never added the journaling!

Highlights from the month include; my 27th birthday, Lily having a couple of friends from school parties, I saw Wicked with my sister, Lily had a kindy excursion to AQWA (Aquarium of Western Australia), Lily went to a school disco, and Ian and I celebrated our 5 year wedding anniversary (and 7 years of being together - we were married on the 2-year-anniversary of the day we met).

July:

Highlights from the month include; my sister and I saw Ballet Revolucion, Lily had her very first sleepover at a friends house, I attended the Scrap-Away-In-WA Yanchep Retreat, lots of trips to the shops and play dates with friends (it was school holidays).

Details:

August: Haven't done this month yet - no reason, just the papers I had matched other months better.

September: This was also Kerryn's Monthly Manufacturer Challenge at Scrapbook Savvy, we had to use Jillibean Soup papers, and use a photo collage (or multiple photos).

September was an emotional month for us, my sister moved to Geraldton (about 4 hours north of Perth), for work - Lily, Mum, and myself lasted 4 days before we went up and visited her!

Other highlights included; Benji started walking, and got his first haircut..all on the same day! Lily got a merit certificate at school, and was so proud collecting it in front of the whole school! We also set up a Skype account, so that we could talk to my sister, without getting massive phone bills!

October:

Details:

Benji turned one this month, and we also had a party at home with all his little (and some big) friends. Other highlights included; getting my very first scrapbooking layout published in Scrapbooking Memories, Lily started gymnastics (so cute!!), Benji went to a birthday party for one of his little friends (teddy bears picnic theme...so cute!!)

Hopefully I will August's layout done soon, and then I will be all up to date!
