365 Day 1

This picture of me and Fred will be the first picture in my daily photo album for this year. I really wanted to use a family picture, and we did spend the day together as a family, but I never had anyone take a picture of all of us. Oh well, there are 364 more days...I am going to try hard to take a picture every day. My plan is to have a list of ideas for pictures on days when there is really nothing going on.

My December daily is coming along. I think it should be finished within the next week. I have to get a few pictures from my sister for two of the days. I will post the pictures of the finished album when it is done.

Cassie and I signed up for WW three weeks ago. We are doing well (11 and 12 pounds down) and the new program seems pretty easy to follow. I figure we are beating the summer rush to look/feel better in our clothes if we start now.

I am still planning on posting finished scrapbook layouts on this blog. I haven't done any scrapbooking in the last month or two, but I will have a lot of free time now that the holidays are over. This month I am making a baby scrapbook as a gift. I have all of the papers picked out, but I haven't started any of the layouts. That will be my big project for January.

Counterfeit Kit-April

This month I decided to participate in the Counterfeit Kit Challenge. That blog is so good because it helps use supplies we already have. These are the pictures of the kit I made. Embellishments and papers. I had fun shopping through my stash to put my kit together. Hopefully I will get some pages done with the kit. I have wanted to join in for the last couple of months and I am happy that I finally did.

June Counterfeit Kit

Image
I was so excited to see the inspiration kit for June at the Counterfeit Kit Challenge blog. Burlap and Butterflies put together the great kit in this picture. I really liked all of the pink, orange, blue and green in the original kit so I tried to stick with that. As my main paper and color reference I chose an old sheet of BG that I have had for years. I love the elephants and the colors were just right. I ended up with fifteen patterned papers. My embellishments... What can I say, I went overboard. I couldn't help it. I have all of these great Sassafras goodies from my mystery box so I needed to add some to my kit. I have a few things in here from last month, and a few things that I have had for a long time. I have some buttons, ribbon, and bling mixed in with some tab stickers, chipboard, and journal spots. I made the summer add on and I managed to only use four papers! And only a few little embellishments. See, I have a little self control... But then it ended. I tried to pic...

Counterfeit Kit May Blog Hop

Hi. If you are here for the Counterfeit Kit Challenge Blog Hop, welcome. If you stumbled onto my blog and would like to start at the beginning or you are looking for the complete list of blogs you can find it here . Our challenge was to get inspiration from our favorite scrapbook company and their blog. I have quite a few favorite companies, but for the challenge I chose Jillibean Soup . They have so many fun layouts on their blog and I found this layout by Julie Bonner and thought it was great. For my layout I switched the hearts for shamrocks. I had this adorable picture of my grandson from St. Paddy's Day and I was happy to find a cute layout idea. I used my Cricut to cut the shamrocks with the Paper Doll Dress Up cartridge. I used a touch of adhesive on the top of each shamrock to hold it in place while I was sewing but none near the center because I didn't want the needle to be sticky. I followed the lines of the ledger paper to keep the sewing straight. The layout went ...
