Happy Girl

Can't believe 2008 is almost over. We are heading into 2009 in a few hours. I am hearing fireworks outside. Some neighbors must be shooting them. Scrapbooking has been a great part of my everyday life this year. I have participated lots of challenge blogs, tried lots of sketches and new techniques. I had opportunities to share my layouts with other scrappers. There are a number of great talented scrappers out there and just by admiring their layouts and projects, I was motivated and inspired. I have no doubts it will continue for the coming year. I am posting my last page of the year 2008. I used a sketch on Hobby Farm. Happy New Year !!!!!!!!

Winter Bliss

It rarely snows here and when it did a few weeks ago, I was at work. My DH bought a disposable camera and took some photos. I had them developed to 5 x 7 prints (I thought I ordered 4 x 6 but I had marked the order envelop 5 x 7.) I am glad I did. I normally scrap with smaller photos and when I used large prints, the pages look so different and I like that. Based on Page Plans sketch #37.

Snow layouts

Christmas came and went. Hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas. I did. The layouts I am posting are of the photos from the snow day.The first one was based on 52 Skethes...52 Weeks sketch #51 and the second one was based on Page Plans sketch #36. My DH took these photos with a disposable camera. I have never cropped photos into squares and made a layout like this before. I liked how it turned out.

Merry Christmas

I had a wonderful night.

Peaceful Night

Tomorrow is Christmas Eve. I'm getting off work at 1:00pm. Yay! It's been cold the last few days but it's supposed to be warm tomorrow and will be raining. The layout I'm posting tonight was created based on Rough Draft #11. It was soooo beutiful that day. By the way, there is a fantastic give-away at Leah's blog, Life As Lou. She has a HUGE package to give away and her book is just gorgeous. Anyone needs to go check it out :)
Merry Christmas !!

Winter Wonderland & You Inspire Me

Can't believe this is the last weekend before Christmas! I am still trying to finish up a few things. I am posting 2 pages tonight. The first one was done for Dreamgirls. We had snow last week. Unfortunately I was at work. But when I got home, I took some photos outside. My DH took some photos with a disposable camera and I will be picking them up soon. Hopefully there are some good day-time photos I can scrap. This challenge was to use the sketch, bling, and Christmas song as a title. I applied stamp ink to the baby blue chipboard for the title. My second one tonight was done for new challenge blog, Butterfly Craft. The background paper I used was very cute and I took an advantage of it.

Caution!

I thought I would never create for this sketch this week.... I couldn't pick the photos. This was done based on 52 Sketches...52 Weeks #50. 2 more to go this year. The sketch calls for 4 photos. I used just 3. The supplies I used, except the buttons, the yellow flower, and the rub-ons 'n chipboards for the title, are the goodies I got from Melissa, DT on UnPubbed. It was sad that there will be no more posts there. I used a transparency for the very first time. I put the photo on top of it, but was I supposed to put the photo under ?? I will need to add the journalling.
