P52 Friday - Week 23 & 24

It get's me every week how fast time goes and how little scrapping I've managed to get done! Yikes! I'm almost caught up again - but I think that if I didn't have our group keeping me accountable, I'm not so sure I'd keep on track. Although the idea of a whole book of week-by-week pages for this year is very attractive to me as a type-A personality who likes things just so. Here's what I've been cooking up these last two weeks, still need to finish the journaling:

Meredith Cardall's Lazy Summer Days from ScrapOrchard

Jady Day Studio's "Backyard Play"

Meredith Cardall's Farwell to Summer at MyMemories.com

In the Albums to Remember store, Barb has released a pack of new templates and "Blue Bliss" - the next in her on-going "Bliss" series of coordinated kits. If you are woefully behind, her P52 Photobook series might be just the ticket!

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!   

P52 Friday (well... Sunday....) - Week #21 & 22

Good afternoon P52ers!

It's been a CRAZY 2 weeks for us - family wedding, my parents were up visiting, Emily's had a cold and a barfing-flu which she is just now recovering from.... blech! But of course, I plan to scrap it all : )

Here's some fun ideas to help you along this week!

Can't decide what to take a photo of this week? Read through these AMAZING suggestions from "Fat Mum Slim"s Photo-a-Day project. The idea behind her scheme is to have people participate via Instagram-type apps with everyone taking the same style/theme photo and sharing it under the same hash tag/album or something! You don't need to do this, I just think her suggestion lists are great for capturing those "every-day" moments that we might otherwise miss. Here's the link for her May 2012 list and June 2012 list - you can surf her site for more ideas. Thanks Melissa Pearson for the lead on this idea!

Why not make a Summer Bucket List? (I see one of the gals in our P52 Group has done this already! Way to go!) Here's some example layouts from DST and a link to a blog article with 50 great ideas for your summer bucket list! And here's one with suggestions specifically for teens...

In the MMS store, Barb has a cute little summer mini-kit called "Citrus Bliss" for your purchasing pleasure : ) If releases seem a little slow these days, it's because Barb is busy honing her skills, hanging out with kids and cooking up some great new ideas!
