Happy 25th to you, Scrap your Day ladies! You can download January’s album prompt here.

[If you’re waiting for the last This Year prompt, it will be up shortly—just having a bit of trouble with uploads going very slowly and stopping so going to take a little break and try again in a bit. It’s on its way!]

This Year :: Construction, part two

Part two of the construction notes can be downloaded here. Looking at this sign, I wished I had thought to draw cute little cartoon pictures to illustrate these steps!

One more prompt to go and everything will all be finished…the big reveal. See you soon!

This Year :: Construction, part one

I found I needed pictures that feel a bit warmer than it really is today! Looking forward to heading somewhere warmer tomorrow. But now it’s book time!

Prompt three covers the first part of the construction—it’s super simple but it’s a bit more time consuming than rest of the project, so if you’re waiting on supplies you’ve ordered, you won’t be far behind.

Download prompt three here!

Things get exciting in prompt four, so I’ll see you soon!

This Year :: Journaling Worksheet

I love projects that can start with something very, very simple and work into something that still has an air of that simplicity while also having a few more layers of depth to the finished meaning. So we start with a simple list but in the end, we’ll have so much more. This Year is one of those types of projects.

You can download prompt two, the journaling worksheet, now. It’s just one page to print out, fill in and get the thoughts going in your head. We’re going to do a lot more with this than just what’s on this sheet—but this forms our foundation. We’ll be using it to formulate our design choices and our wording in the finished project, so perhaps a little different angle than the design choices we make regularly.

The next prompt will be available for download on Wednesday (21.01.09) but I’ll be chatting about the project a little bit each day here as well. And tomorrow I’ll post all our prize winners too!

For more information about This Year, see this post.

Class kick-off party time!

I promised a kick-off party and I promised prizes, so let’s not waste any time!

Prizes to be won:

One set of all five of my Banana Frog stamps (almost £60 retail!)
One set of Paper Chains stamps
One set of Circus Stories stamps
One set of Backgrounds stamps
One minibook kit
One $10 gift certificate to Two Peas

...and…
For one winner, I will pay your way for you and a friend on my next online workshop, which starts on the 15th of February! (registration details soon!)

How to enter and win:
Leave a comment below for one place in the draw. (If you comment more than once, your name will only go in the draw once.)
OR
Post about This Year, the free online class we’re starting, on your blog (or Facebook, delicious, etc). Link to this post in your blog post. Leave a comment below with a link to your blog post for two places in the draw. You can take a picture of your supplies for your blog post or use this picture that will keep cropping up through this project or share a photo you’ve taken after reading the getting ready prompt—absolutely whatever you fancy! It’s all part of the kick-off party so might as well pretty up blogland however you see fit!

Entries will close at midnight Sunday night – London time (GMT), so you have this weekend to party it up as we get started with This Year (which I promise is not a book of resolutions or anything of the sort, even if the name + the January timing might make it seem so). ETA: it’s just gone midnight here so I’m closing the comments. Winners will be announced tomorrow afternoon. Good luck!

There are seven prizes to be won, and it’s Friday night! What are we waiting for? Let the party begin!
