More 365 ideas - week 3 & 4

I'm late. I'm late for a very important update.

So Sunday has passed and I missed giving you your 365 ideas for the week. That's what I get for hosting a crop, planning kits and trying to give meaningful scrapbook ideas at the same time. But here I am and I am going to give you a whole bunch of ideas that will take you through to the end of the month.

January 18th - Your very first job
January 19th - Your current job
January 20th - Your dream job
January 21st - Your first vehicle
January 22nd - Your current vehicle
January 23rd - Your dream vehicle
January 24th - Today's to-do list
January 25th - Your top 5 favorite movies
January 26th - Your least favorite movie of all time (did your friends and family agree it was terrible?)
January 27th - The funniest movie you have seen
January 28th - The scariest movie you have seen
January 29th - The most inspiring movie you have ever seen
January 30th - Your favorite actress and your favorite actor
January 31st - If you made New Years resolutions - how are you doing with them. If they are going great - good for you. If you are starting to flounder a bit - step back and re-evaluate them and then take a deep breath and start again.

Anyways these are my suggestions to keep you going with your 365 album. I would love to see your layouts and how you are using these suggestions. If you have any ideas for upcoming topics feel free to send them my way. It will be an amazing year with so many of us pooling our creative energy.

Sneak Peek Sunday

Well I am very late today, but it is still Sunday. According to my clock I have 29 minutes to get this posted to here goes..... a sneak peek at the kits for January. The January Memory kit is by a fairly new company and one I have never featured before.... Black Market Paper Society. This paper has rich colours and a fantastic texture to it and it is double sided as well. So take a look at their "Lucky n' Love" collection. It is beautiful.




And of course there is this months "It's all in the Cards" kit. I have used the "Loves Me" collection by imaginisce. Yes, there is a theme for both of the kits for this month. But that's only because I am trying to help you get inspired to create a project for someone special, so you can let them know just how important to you they really are. These are the cards for the January kit.



Both kits are really fun to work with and I know that all of you will do great things with them.

I also owe you another week for your 365 albums.
January 11th – Sunday dinners
January 12th – Monday mornings
January 13th - a winter activity (shovelling the driveway, laying a beach for vacation....)
January 14th – a phrase you use all time (your choice)
January 15th – a phrase someone else says you use all the time.
January 16th - Friday nights (what do you do?)
January 17th – you grocery list (what do you buy every week, what did you splurge on this week and what did you buy just so that you could take about a new food in this layout)

Good luck with this weeks 365 album. I hope these ideas will give you wonderful creative inspiration and feel free to change a suggestion any time you want. Kits will be available on the website on the 15th. Happy scrapping.

Scrapbook 365 – a year of prompts to get you motivated

I have finally crawled out from underneath my rock my wonderful collection of scrapbook supplies and have become very aware of one of the newest trends in scrapbooking. 365 days of scrapbooking. The basic idea behind it is to create a layout for each and every day of the year. Since I know many of you love trends and the way they help shape your ideas and your albums I thought I would help you with 365 ideas for your pages.

Each week I will give you the list of suggestions for each day of that week. See I am working on my resolution to post to my blog more often. I will have to post at least 5 times a month now. 4 times for the 365 list and once for Sneak Peak Sunday, and if I revitilize New Product Monday that would give my 9 posts a month. I would be so chatty. For now how about I just work on the 365 list and Sneak Peak Sunday and build from there. So here are the first few prompts for you. And if you feel like sharing I would love to see your creations and maybe even get organized enough to post them here. Which reminds me I have a posting I need to share sometime soon, one of my wonder "It's all in the Cards" members has sent me photos of the creations she made with the August kit. Don't worry I promise I will post them soon.

Okay here is your list:

Jan 1st – a wish for 2009 (this could be a wish for you, someone else or an activity. Anything you want to wish for.)

Jan 2nd – your biggest accomplishment in your teen years

Jan 3rd – your biggest accomplishment in your 20's, 30's, 40's, up to which ever decade you are in. For those of you past your 20's you can save up the other decades and save them for days where the suggestion just doesn't work for you.

Jan 4th – best friends (school friends, grown up friends, animal friends and friend from any time)

Jan 5th – who inspires you and how

Jan 6th - who do you admire and why

Jan 7th – your favourite flower to give & your favourite flower to receive

Jan 8th – things only a parent can understand (okay your are the parent and these are phrases your children say that no one else will ever understand. ie my daughter always called Charlotte's Web 2 "Wilbur" and whipping cream was always called "dips". Jot down your childs isms

Jan 9th – your 2009 resolutions and how you are doing with them

Jan 10th – Your favourite recipe to make

Okay everyone those are the first week, plus a few. Enjoy your list and if you have suggestions of pages you think should be done send them to me. I may use your ideas.
