Six Month Review

At the beginning of the year I had made a couple goals for my scrapping. The first was to scrap all my 2006 photos by the end of June. The second was a tentative goal to scrap a page a day to help me reach my first goal. Well, 182 days have passed and I still have a 2 inch stack of photos for 2006 left to scrap, but I have done 187 pages to date! Here are the pages I did today that caught me up (I was only 2 behind but I thought I was 5 behind).

This is my favorite layout of the bunch, mostly just because of the colors. They are so vibrant and just make me happy looking at them. This pattern paper was a scrap from the next layout.

Here was the layout I started making. I tried to match the colors in the pattern paper to the closest possible cardstock colors I had. In the above layout I didn't worry about perfect matching and I think it came out cuter ^_~. Hodge Podge and Extreme Alphas used for the title. Anyway, these were done using the Reflections book. Quick, Simple, and a lot of pictures!

And this was the quickie card I made from the scrap of pattern paper and the glistening snow stamp set. The added plus is it's flat so no extra postage when I mail it! My goal this year for Christmas cards is to make flat ones so they will mail out and not get destroyed.

This is another lotsa pictures layout. I used a page maps layout for this one but had to alter the picture sizes to fit better. Plus the sketch posts for 10 pics and I only had 9. These papers seemed to just go so perfectly with that costume dress Caitlyn had. Boomdiada Creative basics papers and a small bit of the Boomdiada paper pack paper used for this layout. Homestead Alphas and From Me to You used for the title.

A Bella card I made from some Boomdiada scraps. She's also flat and mailable as well ^_~

Here's my life delights paper layout. I think if I can do at least one layout a day that uses up my old papers I should be doing good. As it is all these layouts used some of my older papers! This one used another pagemaps layout.

I made this card from the last scrap of this stripedy paper. I finally used the piggies in the nursery bash set! I love this stamp set which is funny since I don't use it too often. The animals are just adorable though!

And this is my last layout. I'm not ecstatic about this one but I think it's just because the colors are pastels and everything else I worked on today was rich and bright. They match the photos perfectly so I have no complaints. I even love the little lady bugs and buttons! So that's what I did today... a ton, lol! Luckily for me the girls were content to stamp with their own stuff during some of the layouts.

Lastly, here is my bella card for the #35 sketch challenge this week. Simple lil' cakeabella and a scrap of cutie pie paper. Thanks for dropping in ^_~
