Here's one of my layouts for this week, the other is in progress!
 |
| This page features mostly products from Meredith Cardall Designs and Lyndsay Riches new collab, "Hello Spring!" just out this week. It always uses a Page Builder. |
Did you see the MMS Blog Challenge this week? It's a Page Builder Challenge!! I bet lots of you qualify already - make sure to check it out for your chance to win!
If you haven't been in to the shop this week, there are some really fun new Page Builders to help you with any project - including your P52! This week Barb released a set that has really funky frames that make it look like your matted photo has the corners lifted slightly off the page - gives it that "scattered photos on a real-life page" look. There are also some new template sets! Worth popping by for a look - remember, you get a great deal when you by the Page Builder sets in a bundle : ) There's also a great St. Patty's Day kit, GREEN BLISS!
If you are following the MMS P52 plan, last week's (Week 10) word was "Demonstrate". And they have a great coupon code this weekend -
This week I just wanted to remind you of some ideas from past posts. I know not everyone was here right from the start and sometimes we read a post one week and think "that is not helpful right now" but it would be really helpful for where you are at this week! So here's a couple of "Highlights to Help"...
From Week #4 - Ideas for when you have no ideas or perhaps no photos:
How about...
- a typical day or a typical week: what's the usual routine? is there a routine? what does an average week at your home look like? you may think these things are mundane and that you'll never forget them because they are so simple but it's amazing what we DON'T remember if we don't take time to jot it down.
- this week in the news: what's big news these days? which celebrity broke up with who? which abandoned house on 89th street burnt down? who's sports team won what? etc...
- interview a family member or pet: this is one of my favorites, especially for small children and pets. Imagine or actually find out their answers to regular and silly questions like how they are voting in the election (this would be great for a pet hahaa) or which super power they want! (here are some examples: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5)
- our favorite shows: make a page highlighting the must-watch shows at your house. Who like what and why? What are you totally addicted to? Which show did you swear you'd never watch again but did (cough The Bachelor cough)?
- our top five/ten foods OR what's for dinner?: talk about/photograph a favorite family dish or recipe and why you like it or what important occasions it is always served at.
- bucket list: a friend of mine has a "30 before 30" list of things she wants to do before turning 30. What's on your bucket list? Or your 50 before 50 (or 5 before 50)? Go all "Oprah" and make your own "Dream Board" for yourself - where do you want to be 10 years from now? What are your goals? (here are some examples: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5)
- Dear __________: write a letter to someone. It could be your children in the future, a deceased relative you wish you could sit down for coffee with, God, a famous person (dead or alive), or even your future self... What would you write?
From Week #5 - How to Catch-up with a Collage!
From Week #2 - On Improving your Scrap Skills - Check out Barb's blog on shadowing! This is the #1 best way to make your pages look better!
And, as always...
If you are trying to do one layout a week, do it!
If you are trying to do two layouts a week, do it!
If you are doing a layout a month, make sure you've taken your weekly photo(s)!
If you are doing a layout per year, make sure you've taken your weekly photo!
