Re-scrap 2012 | August - the pages

I have actually finished my pages for my Re-scrap project for August! Let´s just get going to them pages!

Here is my older page

And here is my new page. As you see i was inspired by the strips of paper and one photo.

The page is about Myrra, my in-laws dog that has been with "us" for 11 years. She is getting old now, but she is always such a sweetheart!

older page

The new page! I love that size and I have said it before. I actually just made the pattern on the background paper with my grey pen. I like it.

Photo of me on the beach getting my crochet on :)

Older page

As the the older page, this is also a "right now" layout where I just jot down what is up with each of us right now.

I am in love with this layout!

I am so happy that I have this project, because none of these would have been completed this month if I didn´t have the inspiration pages! Yay!

Project Life | week 33

ok, my 33rd week of Project Life is done.

this weeks stories:

i have read about Ubuntu before and i saw a great quote by Desmond Tutu this week that i wanted to keep.

One of the sayings in our country is Ubuntu – the essence of being human. Ubuntu speaks particularly about the fact that you can't exist as a human being in isolation. It speaks about our interconnectedness. You can't be human all by yourself, and when you have this quality – Ubuntu – you are known for your generosity. We think of ourselves far too frequently as just individuals, separated from one another, whereas you are connected and what you do affects the whole World. When you do well, it spreads out; it is for the whole of humanity

we have had really nice weather.

my inlaws came to visit with their dogs.

my daughters biological father is getting remarried in september and they both visited on sunday, to visit and to order a dress for my daughter.

alot of visits to the stables.

and a great post on zenhabits. (go and read it!)

super simple week.

Inspiration | books

I have been enjoying Tracey Clarks books Elevate the everyday and Expressive photography . I am saving quotes from the books that just hits my heart when it comes to taking pictures of our lives.

I was also happy to hear her on the latest Paperclipping roundtable. It was an awesome episode! I was nodding my head the whole time :)

here are a few of the quotes i have from the books (i have only read a few chapters yet!):

"There are certain moments in time when you can feel the intensity of Mother Nature - the weight of her breath and the boom in her voice."

Stephanie C Roberts (Elevate the everyday)

"The stories of our lives can´t be squeaky clean all the time and neither should our photographs."

Tracey Clark (Expressive Photography)

"A photographer´s eye is trained to look for the details, however small, that transform an image from a mere snapshot into a treasured keepsake."

Take Twelve | August - the page

i took photos of all the technology we used on that day. and i already saw this layout in my head. i actually made 3 mosaics on picmonkey and printed them out. that was an easy way to make sure the squares are evenly large.
