Project 2010 - Here are my April Wks 3 & 4. I am going to miss my Picture Spring Class (although I did miss a few prompts in the last half of the month), which helped me with photos for these!
For May I have signed up for Laine's LOAD (LayOut A Day). The theme is 'Define Your Style'. I havn't done one of these before, so I am looking forward to daily hints, tips, ideas, prompts, tutorials etc, to get me motivated to do more pages!
These pages are todays (May 1st).

Team Up Thursday Diptych with Rose. This weeks theme was 'Fruit'. Mine on the top, Rose on the bottom. I love how we have both used apples. and the rusty can(?) which Rose's apple is on, just sets it off! Go here to check out more of the amazing diptychs!

Picture Spring - New Prompt - 'Make a wish, it's dandelion season.' I have two photos - one inside and one outdoors.

Just for Fun! Stacy Julian
(founder of Big Picture Scrapbooking) posted a blog challenge "What's in your purse". So here is my stuff, and you should take a look at this, for some other great purse peeks!

Yes, I have fallen behind in my 'Picture Spring' daily photos! But, I've decided I'm not going to stress or try to catch up - I am going to just go forward from the latest prompt!

Prompt 23/30. Project minded. A photo of what project you are working on! Here we have Mini Lamington cup cakes that Laura made today! Yumm!

This weeks theme for 'Team Up Thursday' Diptychs was Shape.
Roses's photo of her son's domino stack (love the depth of field in this one!) is on the left, mine on the right.

My next two 'Picture Spring' photos.
Prompt 16/30. - Shadows.


Prompt 17/30. The fabric of Spring (Autumn!)

Here are the first 2 weeks of April from my 'Project 2010' Album.

Picture Spring Prompt 15/30 - 'Looking Back'. Take a photo from your archives and team it with a new photo to make a diptych! The apple blossom photo was taken last July. I can't believe that we are half way through this class already!

Diptych theme this week "taken from lying down". My photo is on the bottom, Rose on the top. Rose commented that she liked the contrast of inside/outside that we have. I also like all the colours in Rose's photo, and all the circles! To see more diptychs go to Megan's or Melody's blogs.

Prompt 9/30- Everyday Beauty, to photograph something you see while doing your everday activities or chores. I actually took inspiration from Rose's entry in last week diptych!





Prompt 10/30 - Catchlights, to look for the lights in the eyes when taking a portrait photo. I took our dog, Brindle!

Here is the 'Z' page for Cindy's A-Z Album.

The next Picture Spring photo - the prompt was 'Spring Sparkle' (water droplets!)
This photo is one of my favourites.

Here is our first Diptych. The fabulous texta's on the bottom is Rose's photo, mine is the one on the top. The theme was Colour!

6/30. Picture Spring Prompt - Self Portrait. This is me 'hiding' behind my camera.




7/30. Picture Spring Prompt - The pastel palette. This was a challenge, not much that is pastel around!

I have a partner for my 'Team Up Thursday' Diptych project! Yay! We get to meet Rose from Redondo Beach, California, through her wonderful photos. each Thursday (although with the time difference they may not go up here till the Friday?) ! Her first photo for our first theme 'Colour' is fantastic! I will pair it with one of mine and post it tomorrow!

I am still waiting for a partner for the 'Team Up Thursday' Diptych. Everyone had been partnered up - so hopefully someone new will sign up soon and I can get started!

Here is the next two of my 'Project 2010' pages - documenting my family's everyday life.

I have just started a new class at Big Picture Scrapbooking (I won the place, which makes it even better!), it is called Picture Spring, taken by Tracey at Shutter Sisters. We are sent a daily prompt to inspire a photo (mine will be autumn though, not Spring!) Here is my first few days (I have been away on holidays in Adelaide, so the first 2 photos are while I was there). I plan to update each day here, and try not to get behind!

1/30. Prompt - New beginnings.

2/30. The prompt - your morning ritual. This is my gluten free cornflakes, with sultanas.


3/30. The prompt - 30 steps from where you pick up your camera.



4/30. The prompt - look up to the sky. This is looking from my garage.
