top 11 favorite layouts of 2011

well everyone else is doing it why shouldn't i?


 

 









 not sure if i can tie them all together. i see loads of kraft. boy do i love kraft! some paint splattering and misting. piles of buttons! border strips on the top & bottom of pages too. some photos of myself - i made a conscience effort to include myself more. and notice that they are all digi.  i guess my honorable mentions should be paper pages. here are a few....




thanks for looking. happy new year everyone! i hope you new year is filled with love, laughter and loads of crafting!  :)

jumpin on the project life bandwagon

well, after hemming and hawing for a few days. i decided that this was the year i would try project life. (it ties into my one little word that i hope to have scrapped by the sunday.) i have decided to do this 100% digitally. i purchased the clementine edition and the templates over at jessica sprague. i figure if i want to add ephemera i'll just scan it in. i'm not even going to attempt two page spreads this year. i'm thinking one page per week will suffice. i'll most likely stick pretty closely to standard form but add in some goodies from my digital stash like i did on this cover page. simple simple simple is going to be my mantra.  

(the top right square idea is STOLEN from stephanie howell. i loved her journaling and stole it and the twine from her. :) thanks steph!)

are you joining me? link me up to your start!

and with this i posted every week day this month. can i get a round of applause? j/k

december daily bases

i uploaded my december daily bases to flickr. it is 100% digital and I didn't worry about facing pages or anything. i'm not sure how i'm going to assemble it yet and i haven't done a cover! i have two day 28s - will change one of them to a 9 soon! most aren't even shadowed yet, but i feel ready to add photos, journaling and more embellishments to the pages as i go.



the list of credits is amazing. i modified tiffany tillamns' holiday template set from last year for some of the pages. i also filled in with other templates of hers. as well i used valorie wibbens little pockets 3. almost all of the pattern paper is from robyn meierotto's vintage holiday kit. i'll try and type the rest up and get them on this post later. if you see something that you want to know about just ask for now!
