Sharing a few...
Thursday, January 24, 2008 at 01:48AM So...did you want to see a few of the 17 layouts I finished last weekend? :) Oh, okay. Here are three:
This first one had been in my head for about a month. The journaling reads: Every year I tell myself that I should have started earlier on my holiday projects. Yet, somehow, every year I find myself behind and working up to the last minute to finish things up...wondering how it got so late. This year in particular, I find myself behind and know that the lesson to be learned is to not attempt to reorganize my office in December. So. This year I’m writing it down. Now. I’m making a list of things while they’re fresh on my mind, and I fully intend to space these projects out throughout the coming year, so that I have the time for more attention to detail and so that I can be primarily done with my holiday projects by the start of December 2008. Ideally, next December will be occupied only with wrapping and shipping...with the rest of my time available to spend with my family, more fully enjoying the holiday season with my guys. That, I think, is a very worthwhile goal. Here’s hoping actually writing it down makes a difference. Here’s to...next year.
You can relate, right? ;)
This one was just a super quick one but I love the simplicity:
And this last one has pictures from just last month...no great story or anything, just fun snow pictures. :)
All of these had pretty minimal supplies (despite my having packed up a gazillion things to take with me to the crop *laugh*)...Prism cardstock primarily (love my Prism!). The last one showcases some brand-spankin'-new felt snowflakes by Creative Impressions! Dude. These are awesome...great variety and they come in multiple colors and sizes (I used one of the blues here and have used the white ones as well...I hear they'll be available in purples and creams as well). Here's a close up:
Used Creative Impressions' brads to fasten them, and viola! Very cool. Have one quick project to work on tonight and tomorrow and then I'll be working on more layouts to share so stay tuned!
