2013 Stats

Happy 2014!! Hard to believe another year has come and gone! I have been somewhat more productive this past year...especially with mini books...I must have made at least 15 or so. I lump them in with altered items, so I don't have the exact count. Maybe for this year I'll keep them separate!

In 2013 I made...
-120 page layouts
-129 cards
-30 minibooks and other items (altered etc.)

To compare...Here is what scrapping I got done in 2012:
-89 page layouts
-55 cards
-13 minibooks and other items (altered etc.)

Not too shabby!! I am sure I could have done a lot more, but life gets in the way sometimes.

For 2014 I really need to get our Disney albums finished. It was 4 years ago this past October that we went to Orlando, so I really think it's about time. The problem is I printed thousands of photos, so it's hard to get through them all. But I must try harder!

Brielle and I went to LOTS of crops in 2013, which definitely helped me get so much done. At home it's too easy to put scrapbooking on the back burner, but when you have the whole day away it is very productive. I love hanging out with my little crafty buddy too! Lots of good times and laughs!!

Another goal for 2014 is to get my many, many completed layouts into albums. They keep piling up and piling up. I sorted them out over a year ago, put dates and if they are for Sean's or Brielle's albums and yet they are still not put away...

I want to get caught up scrapbooking old photos and of course, using up my stash before buying more!!

All the best to everyone for 2014!! Hope it's a fabulous year!

Summer Cards

I guess it's about time I get posting again! Life has been busy, I got a part-time job and now time is very limited!

Here are 3 cards I did with the Pebbles party pool paper and stickers line.

I have done a couple of Christmas projects, so I'll be back with those soon...

The Great Outdoors Mini Album

Another week, another mini album! I have made so many mini albums this year compared to other years. I had a goal of making one a month and I must have made at least 15 so far this year!!

 

This one features more of the outdoor lines from Tina's. I used some more of the Echo Park Happy Camper papers and stickers, Imaginisce Outdoor Adventure papers and die cuts and Moxie Roughing It papers that I have used for other projects lately. The album is an old October Afternoon one.

I made this mini summer album using Pebbles Inc. party pool paper and stickers and an old Magistical Memories chipboard album. Quick and easy! Ready for summer pics!!

And some more outdoor goodies! Also using all the new stuff at Tina's.

Outdoor Fun

Well it's been a while! There was HST, bookkeeping and income taxes to be done...then with the end of school things have been crazy! I managed to go to 4 crops in June with Brielle, so that was amazing!! No more crops now til September, so I have to make time at home. Now that we're into the swing of the Summer routine, I am finding time to scrapbook again.

Here are a couple of pages I have designed for Tina. She has lots of yummy summer/camping/fishing/outdoor papers that you can find here!! I have used a mishmash of different papers on my layouts, so hopefully I can list properly what's on which ones...

Fish Tales ~ Cosmo Cricket tags, Imaginisce Outdoor Adventure paper, Echo Park Happy Camper paper, Moxie Roughing It paper and Prima wood icons in a box (love these!) - leaves and mushrooms

Winter Bliss

I did one last winter page with the Bo Bunny Powder Mountain line. More skating on the canal! We made it there twice this year, which was pretty good! It closed yesterday after all the snow, so that is it 'til next winter :)
