2012 Recap: April-June

April

I researched travel posters for a school project (I decided on this one).
My oily face was driving me crazy, so I complained about it. Exciting, no? ;)
I discovered Somebody That I Used to Know, by Gotye, and played it 20,000 times.
My Etsy design shop finally started taking shape.
I reminisced about my favorite Disney movies. Have you seen them all?
Sometimes the best way to go forward in a design is to START OVER! Lesson learned.
A funny story about a r-e-a-l-l-y s-l-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-w barista I encountered.
I got sea-sick inside my own house. No joke.
An illustration that perfectly captures the blank looks I get from people re: graphic design.



May

I learned how to do water-splash photography. So cool!!
My first video tutorial on Adobe Illustrator... & my 2nd one.
A funny video I found about dance walking.
I leaned out how to grunge up a picture in Photoshop.
I remembered that I had a knitting shop also so started knitting more things for it.
I visited Hogwarts!!! (sort of.)
I did a tutorial about using the color wheel.
I was (more than) a bit disturbed by the season finale of Grey's Anatomy.
I attempted to start a 365 project... that lasted about 2 weeks.
A made some fun stop motion videos for class: {1} {2} {3}
I did a time-lapse photo... also for class.



June

I borrowed my teacher's 90mm lens and took some FABULOUS rose photos.
I introduced my current favorite designer (wish I was as good as he is!).
I got talked into jumping into the more advanced track next school year. Yikes!!
I started selling social media icons. I can't believe how popular they've been!
Bunheads premiered. It looked like it had potential... I've since been proven wrong.
I gave myself some goals to focus my energy.
I took a book survey. I love remembering all the fun books I've read!
Some pretty pictures of a lake nearby our house.
My sister and I did a 10:00am project for a week.
I started a summer blog series on improving your blog! Weeks {1} & {2}
I started crocheting a mysterious project. The finished piece can be found here.
My mom's cat was being especially cute.
I had the best day ever!

    Tons of fun stuff! That is disappointing to hear about bun heads, I was slightly intrigued by that show... [I was in love with Make It or Break It having been a gymnast for 15 years]

DIY Art Journal

Hi, my name is Linda and I am a 25 year old law student living in Manhattan. I blog over at My Passion Is... about my life, scrapbooking, DIY crafts, photography, exploring NYC & more. I am honored to be sharing a post with you today on Jen's blog, so thanks for having me! I recently completed a mini album that I made out of a pasta box so I wanted to share a tutorial with you so you could make your own! What you need: empty pasta box [I used a whole foods penne pasta] scrapbook papers & embellishments a single hole punch sturdy tape [like packaging tape] a paper cutter and/or scissors some sort of binding, either binding rings or ribbon First, you are going to flatten out your pasta box. Then you are going to cut it down to two 6x6 squares [or whatever size album you want to make]. If the box doesn’t fit perfectly in those shapes that’s alright, just piece them together using packaging tape to hold the squares together. Once you cover them i...

Looking for a new church

For reasons I won't bore you with, I'll most likely be moving a little closer to school within the next month or two. This prompted me to start church-hunting again, to find something a little closer to where I'll be located. And this, of course, prompted me to start thinking in depth about what helps me decide what churches to try and what churches to stick with once I try them. via Website I must say, a church's website is a pretty huge first impression. If you don't have one... or if it looks like it hasn't been updated since 1992... I most likely won't read far enough to even find out when your service times are. You don't need a flashy, gimmicky site either (in fact, I'd prefer you didn't), but please make sure to list services times, directions, ministry and education opportunities, and also names and emails/phone numbers of people I can get in contact with in case I have more questions. Also, it is super helpful to have some phot...
