Jesus Street by Jennifer Martin

For the last year or so, I’ve been collecting images on roadside that have religious connotations. It’s become kind of a hobby of mine, and my friends at school kind of know me by it now. Anyways, I started to make it an ongoing collection and in early April a few of them were shown in a gallery alongside some of my fellow students works as well.

 

 

Since it’s something I plan on continuing, I put together a book for my Digital Print Production class and just recently published it! I love searching for these photos when I travel, or just everyday and it’s something that I’ve (Well, We’vecome to love, Jake totally keeps an eye out for me) come to really love. Anyways, here is a preview of the book, feel free to purchase a copy, you know, if you like it THAT much. :)

Tell me what you think!

Scrap Scrap Scrappin’

 

 

I am the biggest slacker as of late. Ok I’m not gonna lie, I pretty much have always been when it comes to starting projects and finishing within my own timeline. One of my bestest friends got married this summer in Vermont (as you probably already know from reading my previous posts) and I decided to make her a little scrapbook of some of her pictures, just to have as a memoir kinda deal. I got the idea after seeing Elise Blaha’s post where she used the Russell and Hazel mini binder and I loved it, so I wanted something similar. I started it almost right after we got back from VT, and planned on giving it to her within the next month…well 4 months later, I finally finished it.

WHO DOES THAT?? oh yea, me.

I gave it to her and her husband as a Christmas gift. It proved to be harder than it sounded in my head, but I was definitely happy with the outcome. Here are some pictures I took before I gave it to her. Her colors were orange, yellow, brown and creme. I started by cutting the pages to the appropriate size and sort of winged it from there…

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

All done! I was so relieved when she opened it and liked it. :)

 

 

other than that, I’ve been so stressed with school. It always seems like I have a love/hate relationship with the final week(s) before breaks. Christmas break, Spring break, Summer break. There’s always a finals week before that kills it for me. NEVERTHELESS I have a class tomorrow night and then I’m freeeeeeee. But for now, I need to get back to finishing some projects.

 

Only 8 days until Christmas!
