Welcome to week 2 everyone.
I have to say I am overwhelmed at how many people all round the world are joining me on this journey. Some of you are already friends I know, some of you are friends I am just making. I am so thrilled that I have so many people following this class and - apparently - enjoying it. I just hope I don't disappoint you.
Can I also say how thrilled I am - and how grateful - that you all left comments to say you had downloaded the prompt .... as well as leaving comments when you uploaded work for sharing.
Please may I ask, again, that if you download the prompt you leave a little comment. It won't take you a moment and it means so much and makes it all worth while. It also gives me an idea of how many people are downloading which i can't do otherwise.
The work that people have been creating has been amazing. One page made me sob, many have impressed me with their bravery and honesty and all of them have been beautiful to see. There have been scrapbook pages, journals, art journals, blog posts - all so varied.
I am trying to comment on all that I can. Please forgive me if I miss yours. Also I can't comment on blogs unless they have the name url option. For some reason typekey and typepad don't work and my Googlemail account is worse than useless.
Anyway - here is prompt 2 for you - i can't wait to see what you come up with. I know this prompt seems like it should have been the first one for the start of january - but hopefully, now you have done the first prompt you understand why it was there and why this one is second.
I have thought the whole 52 weeks out - and there is a sort of logic to it ..... promise!
Here is my page for the prompt.
There are 4 quarter circle tags in the stitched photo circle that pull out to reveal the journalling.
So - here is what you have been waiting for so you can get going on yours.
Have fun!


































Thanks! Have just downloaded #2. I haven't done #1 yet because my goal was for this to be my first digi project and I'm having trouble with getting Photoshop Elements to work on my laptop. I'll get there though1

Thanks Dolly. Have downloaded and read. Off to do some baking and have a think and then hope to get my page done tonight. I like to get things done and always feel a little uncomfortable knowing I have a list of things to do.
Thanks for a great project.

I have it and cannot wait to compete it. Prompt 1 is completed as is my album front cover.
Thank you so much for putting in so much work and sharing your joy x

Posted by: Lesley | January 10, 2010 at 10:03 AM
Hi Dolly... I have downloaded... what a great prompt... thank you for your ideas to do this No.2
I will have a look how to do this page... normally I like to do it digital but I like this journaling cards so much. I think I need a little time to do it.
Have a great sunday... hugs :)
Posted by: Birgit | January 10, 2010 at 10:12 AM
thank-you. i have downloaded prompt 2 and will have a look at it later. waiting for a current photo before doing the first one.
Posted by: debbie s | January 10, 2010 at 10:15 AM
Downloaded prompt 2 - thank you. I love the hidden jouranlling on this one. Mine will be faux stitching, I am hopeless and messy with a needle.
Posted by: T Ann | January 10, 2010 at 10:21 AM
Downloaded and printed. Loving yours but will resist the temptation to lift it!
Stitching - just up my street; goals, hmm, not so much. I think I'll just choose one, then more chance of managing it.
First layout nearly done, thanks again for all your work.

Just about to download prompt 2, love your page may just scraplift it!
Posted by: Pam | January 10, 2010 at 10:35 AM
You really have put lots of work into this, thankyou. I dont really do aims and goals, like you they never seem to work for me, but there are a couple of things I have started that I would like to keep going this year so I am going to do those. I love yours btw and am finding it really inspiring. xx
Posted by: Yizzard | January 10, 2010 at 10:39 AM
Have downloaded prompts 1 and 2. Like you am celebrating a 'big birthday' this year although it is one more decade on. Always procrastinate in getting started on projects am going to watch from the side lines for a bit to see if I can adapt your prompts to be as much about reflections of 60 years as looking forward to the next 60! LOL! It might also give me incentive to finish some of the half a dozen albums I have half finished before embarking on another...so may be a bit behind but hope to catch you up by May the time of my birthday.
Posted by: lumpysue | January 10, 2010 at 10:45 AM
Thank you. Like others I really dont do goal or resolutions, as soon as I do, I break them. This year though I have to lose some weight & get back into srapbookng- so this prompt is perfect!!
Posted by: Lynne | January 10, 2010 at 10:54 AM
Have downloaded #2 Karen, thanks, another thought provoking prompt looking forward to completing this one very much. Hopefully it will help me focus all the plans flying around in my head and priotise them. xx

Thanks Karen just downloaded both - love the layouts xx
Posted by: Dot | January 10, 2010 at 03:06 PM
Downloaded thank you. I love the circle layout, especially with the hidden journalling.
I have added my prompt 1 attempt to the flickr page.
Posted by: Sam | January 10, 2010 at 03:26 PM
Downloaded and thanks for doing this. Your layout is awesome!
Posted by: Photographing Mom | January 10, 2010 at 03:39 PM
Thanks, Dolly. Since I'd already done a "resolutions" (only I used my word-of-the-year), I added it and last week's to the Flickr 52-10 site. DragonsLady
Posted by: Francine | January 10, 2010 at 03:50 PM
Have downloaded prompt, thank you.
Posted by: jane | January 10, 2010 at 03:55 PM
I didn't get a chance to jot you a comment last week, so wanted you to know that I appreciate your enthusiasm and all the thought that has gone into preparing this project. Your prompt last week encouraged me to write 4 pages in a journal about the last decade! These are things that I wanted to write about for a long time, but never sat down to do it. Thank you for your prompt! I'm enjoying looking in on your blog during the week in between prompts. Thanks for sharing! Looking forward to more.
Posted by: Calvina | January 10, 2010 at 04:02 PM
Hi Karen, just downloaded the second prompt - really inspirational (as always!). I haven't done last weeks yet but will make a start soon and Ican only echo the sentiments of others in saying that I appreciate your hard work with this.
Posted by: Kim | January 10, 2010 at 04:18 PM
Thanks Karen for prompt 2, really think I will enjoy these weekly ones and just loving this idea of invisible journalling,you have such fab ideas!!
I will upload onto UKS gallery as well as my blog and send you the link on UKS thread!
Posted by: Lynne Mitchell | January 10, 2010 at 04:26 PM
I'm tentative about putting another year's worth of "presssure" on myself as I over did it last year. I'm thinking I will do the prompts, but haven't started. Project 365 ended and I found myself doing it again--even though I successfully completed it, it's a tremendous amount of work (and fun and commitment).
Posted by: Sandi McMillin | January 10, 2010 at 04:44 PM
Thank you as always for a thought provoking prompt. I am still "gathering" myself to get underway.
Posted by: Catriona | January 10, 2010 at 04:50 PM
Super prompt Karen and I am definately up for using stitching on my layout. Have downloaded it and will start work on it this evening.
Thank you.
Posted by: Jackie P | January 10, 2010 at 05:23 PM
Hi Karen
I have just downloaded prompt 2. It looks great and I look forward to giving it thought later and getting busy. I am just finishing prompt 1 which I downloaded last week. Thanks for the wonderful prompts so far.
