How About a Little Share

How about a little share.  It's not the mini album, gotta wait a little longer on that one, but a layout and a couple of cards I recently did.  These are from the Basic Grey Bittersweet review at Scrapfriends.  It really made me remember why I love Basic Grey.

   

 

 

And here are a couple more from Project 365, not in any particular order.  Just a few that really speak to me.

 

 

It's funny, but this whole project 365 thing has really made me think before I shoot.  I almost always keep the camera in manual mode and think for about 2 seconds before I snap.  I have never gotten a decent basketball shot.  I am pretty pleased with this one.

That's all for me right now.  I will try to process the calendar shots so that I can share it over the weekend.  Have a great week.

Catching Up a Bit

I can't believe it has been 2 weeks since I last blogged.  I have had sooo much going on.  Last weekend, I went away to a weekend scrapbook retreat with my friends.  We spent 3 days cropping away at the beach.  So much fun.  Here we are at the Pajama Party on Thursday night.

 

I managed to finish an entire calendar for my office as well as a book of blessings mini album for an assignment.  I finally downloaded the pics of the calendar to my computer, so I will try to get photos of the calendar up this week.  I can't wait to show you the mini album. It is beautiful.  If you haven't sat down to think about how blessed you are, you should definately attempt one of these little minis. 

In addition to a ton of cropping, I have managed to keep up (in my own way) with Project 365.  I decided early on to make it low stress.  So, I try to get 7 photos a week, rather than one a day.  I actually have more photos than I need in my 365 folder.  At the end of the month, I will decide which go on my digi pages for this month.  Here are a couple of my faves from the last two weeks.

 

 

The first is the veiw from our hotel room balcony.  The second I am sure you will recognize.  Seems like I pull through there at least twice a week for lunch (salads these days as I have signed up for the meltdown at church!).    I am learning a ton from this exercise.  First off, manual mode is not as hard or as slow as I thought it would be.  Secondly, it is THE ONLY way to take pictures in a basketball gym. Lastly, my life is not as boring as I thought it was.

Anyway, that's a little of what is going on in my world.  I will try to get the calendar up this week.  Have a great one!

Project 365, Day 2

So, I actually have 2 for today.  The first was actually taken by DD as we drove across the bay.  I cropped it just a little and bumped up the contrast.

 

The second one is actually mine.  It is an indoor shot again.  It is shot at 1250 ISO, florescent WB, SS 30 and AP 4.0.  This is a shot of DD and the "Pop Art" she is making for her room walls.  Every now and then, she gets the redecorating bug. 

 

That's if for me.  Have a great day!

Project 365

So, I joined the Project 365 bandwagon this year.  I am trying to do it no stress, so I probably won't post every day, and may even forget to take photos some days.  But, this experiment is for me to become best friends with my camera this year. Soo... Here is my first post.

 

Those of you who know me, know that my favorite "I don't have to work today" breakfast is homemade biscuits.  Today was no exception.  When I got up at 10:30, I promptly made myself a batch of biscuits.  This is shot in manual mode.  I think the specks are ISO 800, SS 30, AP 3.5.  I will be doing indoor shots for a minute as this is where I really struggle. 

Thanks for looking.  Link me up if you are doing Project 365 so that I can see yours as well.
