Wow! Week six already! I hope those of you that are participating are having as much fun as I am! If you'd like to join in - PLEASE DO! Bek has just recently found my blog and did all five projects to catch up - be sure to check out her stuff on each exercise link in the left column (or go to her blog and scroll through her posts). And Stacy did a great project with the scraps for #3... check it out here (scroll up when you get there). I enjoyed all the flowery things that you came up with this past week. The snow is finally melted here and we've been having some nice spring weather at last!
This week I am really going to make you FLEX those creative brain muscles. My challenge for this week is to create a layout (or whatever!!!) using pictures from different, unrelated events. I'll show you what I did and then explain a little further....
I have pictures of Sarah where she refused to look at the camera (and this was before digital, so I couldn't delete!). I did the same thing to my parents when I was little and I have wanted to make a layout about it for quite some time. So, the heck with pictures having to 'match'...just tell the story!!!
Now go dig through your piles and piles of pictures and see what mismatched photos of yours can tell a story. Maybe your Suzie Q's baby photo looks just like her Grandma's baby photo. Or Johnny does the same silly stunt that your brother did as a kid. Compare year-by-year changes in someone. Or how your house and the landscaping has evolved over the years. Work those creative muscles! Can't wait to see what you come up with! :-)
Okay, I just finished my flower challenge. I am always cutting it close. I know there is know time frame but I like to get it done before the next challenge comes in. I am not exactly done but I am ahead of the game since this project is for Easter. Here it is http://smarksthespot.typepad.com/s_marks_the_spot/2007/03/spring_flowers.html#comments
I will marinated this next challenge a while.

ooh this one sounds like fun, great page Patty and I think we all have photos like that. My boys are worse as they hit their teenage years about having their photo taken.
Stacy Your mini album is just gorgeous!

I've been wanting to do this for a long time. I'm going through my kids photo albums when they were babies. i'm going to put side by side... probably in a mini book ....a pic of her in the jogging stroller and one of him in the jogging strolller....her in the baby bjorn , him in the baby bjorn....in the swing...high chair....tub...vibrating seat...all when they were around the same age. Thanks for the push Patty to get this done. Now I have to gather all the pics.
