P52 Week 4 and 5

Here are my P52 Weeks 4 and 5 layouts. Both were made with templates from Brine Designs P52 Series and they are more than templates. The cluster in the week 4 layout was in the template. Isn't it gorgeous? These "templates" are real time savers.

Blues and Grays

I love blues and grays. Key of D has these this storm/cloud themed kit with the same color blue/gray color palette as her Vanity kit in her store.

This kit was just perfect for a photo of Black Mesa that I took on a cloudy day.

Project 52-Weeks 1-3

I started P365 in 2010 and utterly failed. My life just doesn't seem compatible with taking a photo a day. I can't have or use a camera at work so during a P365 project I can only take photos in the morning or evening on workdays. I took a lot of coffee and breakfast photos in the early days of 2010. This year I've decided to do a photo a week, or P52 project. It's mid-February now and I'm already behind. I have been working on it and here are my first three weeks. I'm lucky in that Brine Design is releasing a monthly Project52 Collection each month. Every month there is a set of 4 templates. I've used three of the January templates in the layouts below and I'm sure I'll use more. They are more than templates, though in that some of the clipping masks are actually paper so that you can leave them as is or clip in different papers. It's awesome. I'm also using the date buttons and month stamps that were given away by Beszteri on her blog late last year. They are still available as of this posting if you want to head on over to her blog and grab them for yourselves!

Love & Romance

Brine Design has a new kit releasing today, Love & Romance. It's a great Valentine's day kit. I love the blues and browns in combination with the traditional red.
