Flavour Flaves

Keeping with the informal scrapbooking theme I started yesterday by sharing my layout from last weekend, today I just wanted to give a shout out/share to one of my absolute favourite challenge blogs out there – The Dares. I don’t remember when I first came across this site and actually I think before I knew of the website I knew of the book – either way, if you are looking for a creative challenge (whether that be for scrapbooking or not) check out this site.

Some of the girls on the DT are some of my favourite scrappers – Jen, Kristina and Vee. Now that I’ve been around the site for a while I have some new faves from the DT – Tina and Jamaica and I am lucky enough to call some of these girls friends. The challenges are simple – just the way I like them so I can take it whatever direction I want.

Seriously, check it out!!!Tina – Dare 145  Jen – Dare 142 Vee – Dare 156Jen – Dare 136Jamaica – Dare 135   Vee – Dare 153 Jamaica – Dare 151 Vee – Dare 131 KC – Dare 150 Tina – Dare 127

Jen – Dare 147

Ok seriously, I need to stop. I could keep going but I’d use up all of my bandwidth on one post ( I really could) lol. But seriously? How amazing are those pages??? Promise me you’ll go and check them out.

The challenges are rad. The DT is even more rad. I just think they need a boy on the DT ;) Eh?

What do you think? lol Hey. . .I can dream, right?

Ps I love you found here

Ps. I love you. . . .scrapbooking. I have been scrapbooking more and more lately and I loveee it. Here is a layout I did last week.

Pretty Portraits on a Quiet Monday

Saturday Night Live has been quite a large part of my weekends for the past few years. Whenever I don’t have something going on on a Saturday night, I will watch SNL and craft. I really love it.

Anyways I was always really drawn to the vivid, highly stylized portraits of the host and the band for each particular night, that are shown just before commercials – so a while back I did some research and found out that the photographer behind those photos is a woman named Mary Ellen Matthews.

She is definitely one of my favourite photographers. I love that you can spot one of her photos and immediately know that she took it. I find that so admirable that artists have such a unique style that there is no mistaking their work – it is a characteristic common between many of my favourite artists.  I wanted to share some of her rad photos with you.

Happy Monday friends!!

love Jeremyyyyyy :)

ps i love you

You Said What?!?

Hi friends. We are at the final day of my little goal to blog everyday this week. I’m feeling like this is something I might do about once a month. Thoughts?

Speaking of things that I am going to do here once a month – here is a new little fun feature that I am going to be starting to do once a month-ish. So behold friends the sensation that is sweeping the nation You Said What?!?

Here is a fun little segment where I share some of my favourite tweets with all of you. They crack me up and brighten my day so hopefully they can brighten someone else’s. Without further adieu. . . I am killing myself laughing at these tweets again. I hope you enjoyed this little post.  Let me know what you think of it.

If you aren’t, and you want to, you can follow me on twitter here.

Are you on twitter? Link me up.

Love Love, Jeremy.

Ps I love you How much do you love this little whale illustration that comes up when twitter is down?? Soo cute.

i’ve been thinking.

I’ve been thinking a lot about painting lately. I’ve often described it as my first love. It is what I did all throughout high school for art class and whenever I needed to do something creative before I ever started scrapbooking or blogging or anything else really crafty. I have been missing it a lot lately and one of my goals this year is to start painting a bit more (a reasonable amount considering my school schedule and other hobbies haha) and really developing my style. Here are some artists whose style I really love.

For fun, and/or nostalgic purposes here are two pictures that I have of paintings I did in high school.

The first one is a copy of Millet’s the Gleaners that I did in grade 11 and the second one is one that I did for fun for an art auction we did in grade 12.  I don’t have many pictures of paintings that I did throughout highschool, and I really haven’t done any since. The only thing that I have done recently was this album art for a mixed CD I made for my friend Vanessa. Dear painting, I miss you and I love you. Lets have a regular dates shall we?

Love,

your old friend Jeremy.

xoxo

Ps. I love you
