Me. Snapping.

 

 

 

Did you have them to check out The phone Photography Project yet? It is a fun new workshop that takes Place in July! It is smacked full of tips and tricks all about taking photos with your phone and I am one of the contributors!

Ever since I got my iPhone you can find me like this around my island :) I have my phone with me at (almost) all times and I love that I can snap pictures easily.

 

My new love keeps snapping photos of me "in action" :) I guess with all my Instagramming BCP thought that I could share a tip or two about phonephotography ;)

 

I can´t wait to begin the Phone Photography Project with you all!

WCS | June gallery sneak

Happy May 20th! It is sneak day for the June gallery at WCS. 

I know it is not at all easy to figure out a theme from these, but I love looking at sneaks myself and we all shared some today! Go to the WCS blog and you can click our names to see the sneaks! Or go to the WCS FB page. 

I had so much fun making these layouts and can´t wait to share them with you on June 1st!

Around here...

 

The weather has been fanatstic lately. We still have had cool nights and a bit of rain, but the winds are warm and the temps are up to almost 20. May usually has been warmer and then it gets cooler again in June. Weird.

 

Work has been tough. It has been all year really. I do like challenges, but sometimes you feel like you just stand there in the same spot and not getting anywhere.

 

I have been feeling un-normally tired. This has been been a sign of my depression getting worse in the past. But I hope that it is just a low period and that my body and mind long for summer vacation that is just a few weeks away.

 

The cats think they are in heaven with this great weather. They have been spending more and more time outside and just coming in for cuddles and food. The windows and door are usually open so they can wander as they please.

 

We are doing good. Things have been interesting with my new love spending almost all his time at my place and us getting to know eachother on so many levels. It is hard sometimes, but not at all hard enough to quit ;)

 

My daughter has been doing good too. Much much better all the time and that makes me ever so happy. School is out soon and I am sure she will enjoy sleeping in!

 

In two weeks my baby sister is getting married. We look forward to this immensly. It is always fun to dress up and party! The festivities is a 2 day thing with a welcoming party for their son on the next day.

 

How has Life been around you lately?

Project Life 2013 | Week 18 +19

Today I have 2 weeks worth of PL to show you. I fell behind in posting and thought I´d share both weeks so I get caught up.

Week 18

Pretty much a normal week with grocery shopping, dr´s appointments and homework. We spend Saturday with my sisters family and Sunday working in the garden. 

I made an insert holding 2 more stories. The first one with my daughters countdown to the One Direction concert she was going to. 

The other side holds the story of when my new love took his wheelchair through the Drive-in :)

Week 19.

It was warm this week and I could sit outside at night in a tank top. This is big! 

I saved the post-it notes my new love lovebombed my desk with ;)

The 2 other pockets hold the story of the concert my daughter attended. 30 000 screaming teenaged girls ;)

Different everyday stories; we chenged up my craftroom, took a great walk, jumped, babysat, the gorgeous tree in our backyard bloomed and my sister is 25 days away from her wedding day!

This week I had an insert holding 4 more pockets. I wrote a quote I read that week right beside a photo that showed it was 21 degrees one day that week. I still need to add journaling to the far right photo.

I had to include the big news and the last pocket holds a sample of another project I am preparing for. More info on that very soon!

Memorykeeping | A teenager lives here

I made a everyday kind of page to go with the theme of our May gallery at WCS which is Everydailies. Did you know we have done that theme twice before? It is so much fun to see how different the pages can be from year to year. 

I took a photo of my teenagers messy room back in February (it is even more messy now!) and used it in one of my Project Life spreads.  I still wanted to make a layout with the photo. 

I can´t believe how messy her room is ;)

I am in a BPC class!!!

You guys, I am beyond excited to finally announce that I will be one of the instructors in this amazing class at Big Picture Classes (BPC)! I still can´t believe that I got asked to join the other wonderfully talented instructors. 

Since I got my iPhone I have used it so much that I almost have forgotten about my DSLR camera. The camera in my phone takes great photos and I take lots of photos each day. So if I wasn´t part of this class already, this is for sure a class I would love to take!

The class is packed with phonephotography ideas, tips and tricks.

Project Life 2013 | Week 17

I have no idea why, but somehow I totally forgot to blog my 17th week! 

I did some journaling onto the photos this week. I used my black Sharpie on some and added text through Picmonkey on others. 

The week was full with BFF`s, plants taking over the livingroom, magic and breakfasts.

I also added journling with paper scraps that I just adhered to the photos with tape or staples. 

The weather was fantastic this week and we were outside most of the weekend. I love this time of year! 

I will be back later with week 18 :)
