Log Your Memory Challenges

I'm behind in sharing my Log Your Memory Challenges. Here are my Week 3, 4, and 5 layouts. I am loving these challenges!

Dreaming Of Australia
I Want to Go to There
LYM Challenge #3 Dreams

Journaling: For the past 18 years, I have dreamt of traveling to Australia one day. When I dream of it, I dream of golden colors. It all began when one of my college roommates took a trip abroad to Australia with our University to study for the summer as they traveled across the country. A few years later, she moved to Sydney with her husband to work in landscape architecture. While they have since moved back to the States, I still dream of one day seeing the Sydney Opera House, the beautiful beaches, and landscapes., and perhaps even a few Aussie scrapbooking friends. I dream of the Land Down Under, and I want to go to there. 2011

Inspired by the Project: Me ladies, I decided to do this based on a blog post I did at OneWord.org, they have homework assignments for you to do on your word of the year. My journaling is an answer to the question:
QUESTION #1: Take a few moments and journal about the type of person you want to be at the end of 2011. How would you want this person to be described? What are some characteristics that would define this person? For those who have already chosen your One Word, what effect do you hope this word will have on your character? How will you have to posture yourself to make that change a reality?

Journaling:
I want to be fabulous, sexy, independent, poetic, whimsical, amazing, awe-inspiring, imaginative, cool, phenomenal, wondrous, wild, rare. I want to be affectionate, caring, embracing, cheerful, thoughtful, courageous, devoted, faithful, forgiving, involved, self-confident, dynamic, fatigue free, graceful, idea driven, living from the depths of life, personable, spiritual, strong, resourceful, curious, friendly, gratitude, joyful, loving, adventurous, desirous, willing, I want this word to have the effect on my character that I get out more and live, that I am more self-giving, that I am less depressed. It will take personal effort to make this a reality.

Challenge #5 - Happily Ever After

Journaling:
Once upon a time, a Prince and a Princess lived in a castle all alone. The Princess wanted more than anything to add the companionship of a tiny, little dog to their family. "Bah humbug," said the Prince. "Dogs are a bother. I like other people's dogs." But the Princess kept on dreaming of a pet of her own, wishing to adopt a rescued animal. She began searching online. But meanwhile, the Prince whisked her away on a romantical vacation, and asked her to resume looking when they return. Once home again, the Princess wanted more than ever a dog to love. The Prince was hesitant. Then one day, she found online an adorable bichon frise, and without telling the Prince, she applied to be the owner. When she heard the news her application was accepted, she was over the moon. Now she had to tell the Prince her secret. The Prince didn't know what to think. "Well, if I don't like the dog, it's going back." "Just open your heart," said the Princess. The day came when the dog was brought to the castle, and the Princess' eyes glowed with joy. The Prince knew right then looking at her the dog could stay. And, day after day, the Princes' heart opened, and opened, and opened, until he, too, was attached. The Prince, Princess, and their dog are now living happily ever after! Story 2010 Journaled 2011

Log Your Memory 2011 Challenge #1

This is for the Log Your Memory.com LogBook Challenge #1 for 2011

I used the list from the Logbook for the "Annual Checkup" (my word for 2011 is "fabulous")

Journaling:
One year from today, I hope to have learned how to better my writing style. One year from today, I hope to have figured out how to be fabulous every second of the day. One year from today, I hope to have completed a year of daily yoga. One year from today, I hope to have stopped my internet addiction. One year from today, I hope to have started healing my fibromyalgia. One year from today, I hope to have acquired a sense of gratefulness for the little things. One year from today, I hope to have given up anything that is not fabulous. One year from today, I hope to have visited at least one really fabulous beach. One year from today, I hope to have left behind any and all baggage from my thirties as I finish my first year of being forty. January 2011

3. Use rounded corners somewhere on your layout.
4. Create hand-doodling somewhere on your page.

My Layout:



“I Like Pink” by Julie Ann Shahin
I used the For The Love of Art “My Favorite Things” Stamp Set on this page showcasing my favorite color, pink. 

I actually almost did a layout on yellow, as I have said for years that yellow is my favorite color. But as I looked around, I wear a lot of pink. I buy a lot of pink. I use a lot of pink. But rarely yellow. It's true that my scraproom is painted yellow, and I'm a firm believer that in most rooms only a very small dose of yellow is needed. I thought that I needed to give pink it's due.

Additional Challenges

  • Weekly Card Challenge October 4 with Renee - Make a Halloween Card
  • October 5 Tuesday Layout Challenge - "This week's challenge is to bring out that inner animal in you! Yes, we are scrapbooking a photo that has an animal in it.

New Challenge

My take on this week's Tuesday Challenge
Carrie has posted this week's Tuesday Challenge at For the Luv of Art which is to use wrapping paper on a layout or a card.

The wrapping paper that Carrie used inspired me:
Here are more views of my layout....

Fun Prima Flower and Fabulous Ribbon from FTLOA
Prima Say It In Pearls Cream directs the eye

I love color
Jillibean Alpha from FTLOA

"Laugh" is a digital element I printed a long long time ago

I ended up using just plain Kraft wrapping paper, and I stamped over a diecut lace paper, then misted over it as well to get the effect. I stitched it to Kraft chipboard from the FTLOA store. It was so fun to make!



Also, here are pictures from the 8/17 Tuesday Challenge on the FTLOA Blog by Brianne to use a grid for your design. My original photos were a bit blurry so I just re-did the photos yesterday.


I adored her layout so I thought it was very cool it was the challenge this week. The size of my photos made this harder, but I did it! Photos from when we went to Hilton Head in 2009. (Be sure to read the journaling!!!!)
