Project 12: December

Yay! I made it!!! This is the very last page of the year 2010 project 12. Although I didn't put as much effort as I should have to finish this page up, I feel the sense of accomplishment :) I started out with the cover page and worked on the 12 monthly 2 pagers. I really feel good about it and I am almost sure that I will do this again for this year.

Project 12: November

This past month has gone by very quickly. Just one week to Christmas and 2 weeks to the year-end. I am planning to finish up wrapping the gifts this weenend and to bake early next week. I have a bag of pecans and want to make a pumpkin bread with pecans in it. That means I need to go to a store and I kinda dread it. Anyway, I scrapped this monthly layout last night. Sometimes, it takes forever just to pick out papers. Well, this time, everything went so smoothly. I followed the sketch very closely and that made it even easier. No distressing and not much textures on this one. But I am pretty happy with how this one turned out :) One more to reach my goal!! Happy Holidays everyone and see you next month :):):)

Project 12 -- October

It's that time of the month.... time to post the monthly double for Project 12. Once again, I managed to scrap the monthly 2-pager. This is it. This is the only layout that I complete this month. Thank goodness for the fab sketch. It made it so easy to put these pages together. The photos turned out kinda dark but I say those moments were just as precious. With the October sketch done, there will be only 2 more... And those last 2 months include holidays. We'll see how many photos I will be taking. I haven't really taken that much lately.

Project 12: September

It's been a month since I created a post on this blog. I am glad that I was able to manage scrapping this monthly 2-page layout. It's hard to believe we have only a couple of months left for this year.

Project 12 August

This is my monthly layout for Project 12. I have been MIA for a while but I haven't quit scrapping. I am just taking a break for now. I am trying to complete this project and hoping to go back to my scrappy routine.

Project 12 July

July would be a month of events and many photos to lots of people out there, I think. But These photos on this 2 pager are it for me. Yup, these are the only photos I got from the month of July and they are all my dd's self portraits. She was in and out all the time with her friends and I just didn't have any opportunities to take photos. She went to Six Flags and came home with no pictures!! She and her friend didn't even take a camera!! Anyway, at least I was able to scrap my monthly 2 page layout for Project 12.

Project 12 -- June

Here is the monthly 2-pager for Project 12. I had a hard time choosing papers and after I'm done with this, I'm still not sure about my choices. Anyway, what counts is that I made this double layout.

Project 12 -- May

I just put together this 2 page layout. I didn't do any scrapping for the last 2 weeks and am hoping this will put me back onto the scrappy routine. I even thought of skipping this monthly layout this month. I will be adding a little more journaling but I wanted to post this first since today is the last day to submit this Project 12 page to Scrapbook & Cards Today.

Project 12: April

This is the monthly 2-pager for April. April came and went very quickly and May's half way over. I realize I haven't taken any photos this month yet. The papers and the color palette used here are not my usual choices. But it was kinda refreshing to try something different.

Project 12 -- March

This is my 3rd monthly 2 page layout this year. I am so glad that I decided to join the project 12 this year. My dd turned 16 and that was definitely the hightlight of the month. So I picked the photos from her birthday night. I had already decided to use these "Happy Day" papers by sei. With the papers already picked and the great sketch to work with, it was fairly easy to put this 2-pager together. And it turned out to be a no-flower layout! Go figure!! This will be submitted to Scrapbook & Cards Today and Davinie's blog. I am looking forward to seeing other scrappers' takes :)

Project 12: February

Woo hoo! I made the 2nd 2 pager for the year!! This is the digest for the month of February for Project 12 hosted by Scrapbook & Cards Today and Davinie. 2 page layouts always intimidated me and I rarely try. But working with Becky Fleck's sketch so far has been fun and easier. It took me a while to choose the background cardstock and the papers. I used Almond color cardstock as background for January one and thought it would be nice to keep it the same for the entire year. I also had to decide whether to use the color pink and the hearts. Valentine's day is not really a big event for us any more and they might not go with the snow photos I wanted to include. Anyway, I ended up with using the color pink and the hearts. They represent February after all. Since I don't have a circle cutter, I omitted the circle frames on the sketch. I used the Maya Road's sheer calender again. It looks simple without lots of embellies and dimension but I'm happy with this :)

January- Project 12

This is the first of monthly 2 pagers. I am participating the project 12 at Scrapbook & Cards Today. I used a calendar for the title. I have those Maya Roads calendars for the entire year and am planning to use them for each month. This 2-page layout will go right after the title page.

2010 Project 12 Title Page

I finally made a title page for my project 12 (see the project 12 icon on my side bar). It's been on my mind since the first of the year but couldn't come up with any idea. I initially thought of taking a pic of my dd and cut it out, making a circle layout, etc. Anyway, I wanted a new photo, so I took this photo yesterday and had it printed, picked it up today and scrapped this page. It turned out to be quite simple. But I think it would suit the cover page. The color pink is her fav color, so I chose it to be the main color. For the numbers "2010", I stamped with white paint on black cardstock. Since the background paper is glittered, I had to use Zip Dry glue to adhere the Thickers even though they were already the stickers. I am going to submit this page to Davinie's blog :)
