New Goodies Friday: January 7, 2011

Hey ya'll! I'm back as promised... with a new look! How do ya like the new duds? I love it!!! I had fun creating it with the New Year's Eve Collab by Sahlin Studio and Valorie Webbins.

Can you believe that it's already 2011??? This week has just flown by... it seems I got so little scrapping done. Matt had the week off and we (or rather "HE") got lots of things done around the house. He painted the Living Room, and I picked out the curtains. Now just a trip to Ikea and I believe my Living Room / Dining Room will be complete. I seriously love what we have done so far... and I'm so excite to be getting to design our space for once. I will admit that it is a tad overwhelming... after living in rentals for so MANY years, I've been afraid to add color to our world. I'll be posting pictures as soon as it's complete.

Now onto the new goodies I played with this week! All Products are like to the stores. First up... by Jady Day Studio, this remarkable kit to honor and remember those love ones we lost... Missing You:


I used this BEAUTIFUL kit to make pages for both my father and my grandmother... whom I loss way to early.



Next up, I got to play with some awesome Inspired By templates from WM[Squared]... and a new set of date stamps.



I just loved the circles in this template and had to use it with Lindsay's snow ball fight she had with Daddy during our snow storm in December.


Those circles total remind me of snow balls flying at me.

Well folks... in Porky Pigs famous words.... "That's All Folks!"

I've finally completed my look back at 2010 and my goals for 2011 page.

Image is linked... for journaling and credits check it out.

I'm quite happy with it. I really can't believe how much I did accomplish in 2010... and that I've already met one of my goals for 2011... but I'm gonna keep that under my hat for just a bit longer.

I've been busy this week making lots of new goodies... I'll be back tomorrow to share those!

Happy New Year!!!

Happy New Year! I hope everyone had a safe and joyous New Year's Eve! We are really home bodies... we stayed at the house and watched the ball drop in Times Square on the tv. I guess today's a day for looking back at yesterday and looking toward tomorrow. Have you set your New Year's Resolutions? Me... nope... I wouldn't stick with them anyways if the past is an indicator.

I am going to set me up some new Scrapping Goals. Last year I created this layout with my thoughts of 2009 and my goals for 2010:


The image is linked but the journaling reads:
2009 wasn’t quite the year that I imagined I would have. Due to my illness I didn’t make as many layouts as I hoped to complete by the end of 2009. I think that 2009 was a huge leap forward in growth for my personal style... in the fact that I’m finding my style. I have become more of a “paper look” digital scrapper... and I even like trying to recreate the paper looks I see in the magazines. I am embracing the use of embellishments on my layouts more... I like the look of lots of “bling” on my pages. It is strange that I’m personally so reserved in my lifestyle but in my layouts I go for the gold. I also started making hybrid projects such as cards and signs. I am becoming more comfortable with my program and finding ways to recreate things the more expensive programs can do. For 2010, I I look forward to continuing the growth in style... making many more layouts and hybrid projects... and maybe even make it onto one of my favorite designer’s creative teams. Here’s to what 2010 may hold...

I'm very happy with what I accomplished in 2010 creatively. I'm looking forward to continued growth in 2011... still thinking of those goals to put onto paper. I do believe one of them will be to keep a more active blog... no promises just saying.

This year too... I believe that I'll give eNKay Design's P52 project a real go. If you want to check it out... here's a link to her blog:

Well, I'll be back soon with my goals for 2011... plus a look at a few of my favorite creations of 2010!

MERRY CHRISTMAS

Merry Christmas!!!! Finally the big day is here... our presents are opened. Most of the new goodies have been played with already. The girls are all snug on the sofa watching a movie... finally a little peace and quiet on this very exciting day.

I just can't seem to get the hand of this posting business... maybe I'll make it one of my new years resolutions to make a regular posting schedule. I've made lots of new pages... but I'll be back to share with you all soon...
