First of all, the Weekly Gratitude pages for the last two weeks. I'm not sure why last week's never got posted.
And this week's--I used just the journaling part of the Weekly Gratitude template so I could put it on the back of last week's page. I'm liking how flexible this album is turning out to be.
Now for my favorites from this week's Project 365. Despite my "note to self," once again I didn't take as many photos as I'd wished. I'm taking "Moving into Manual" at Big Picture Scrapbooking now. There are just two assignments this week, both of which I've done previously to help you evaluate the light in different settings and to see the effect of changing the ISO in a setting with the same lighting. I'll do both again because every time I work with the photographic triangle of shutter speed, aperture, and ISO I learn a little more.
1. I finished two books this week. Both were memoirs, one of my favorite genres. They couldn't have been more different, and I really enjoyed reading both of them. 2. A vintage-style phone at Donut Delite. 3. Ice Dancing during the 2010 Olympics. 4. Shrimp and vegetable chowder from a new Crock Pot cookbook. 5. The beautiful sky taken from inside my car as I drove down the street one night. It's hard to see in the collage but there's a sliver of a moon just above a tree in the middle of the photograph. Taken with my point and shoot through the windshield. I'm always amazed that this works.
And last, but not least, two scrapbook layouts, neither of which photographed straight. Sigh.
I did get my hot cross buns, and they were delicious!
Tracy and I spent the afternoon on Friday with his best friend and his wife in the Finger Lakes. We had a wonderful lunch in Hammondsport, and visited three of our favorite wineries.
I'm finally getting the hang of the hybrid layout. The first uses a digital template from Cathy Z. I used only four of the layers before printing it out. The second uses Katie Pertiet's clustered frames. I've seen Paula Gilarde use these over and over on her blog and decided to give it a try myself.
