Here’s another online weekend challenge from Scrapbook Steals. The theme was something in your life that you’re lucky to have.
For me, I’m lucky to have a house 1 mile from the beach – THE Atlantic Ocean! In fact, I drove by there today! It was so beautiful, breezy and just plain terrific to be around.
So, that’s my layout theme – lucky to live so near to a gorgeous beach.
Supplies:
My Mind’s Eye Breaking Free
Thickers
One of the fun online challenges this weekend at Scrapbook Steals was a layout of a little known fact about yourself.
I decided to mention that I don’t like lobster which many people probably do not know. Lots and lots of people like lobster. Since I grew up in Maine, you would think that I love it. Not the case. I think it’s just too hard to get the meat, too expensive and just isn’t a great taste for me.
Supplies:
My Mind’s Eye Breaking Free line
Autumn Leaves stamps
Tsukineko ink
Prima bling
Spellbinders dies
Scrapbook Steals has a great Mid-Week Mojo sketch that I used for this scrapbook page. Yes, a REAL scrapbook page! I took a look at my stash and the pages that I was behind on and made a decision that I must scrap more! I will definitely still do cards, but my scrapbook page count needs to go up dramatically.
No stamping on this page, just some die cuts, chipboard letters and stickers. It was fun, relatively quick and looks pretty decent! I’ve decided that I’m going to put sketches with pictures together in an effort to make it easier to get pages done. The next step would be to pull the papers to go with each page, so we’ll see how that goes. I’ve scheduled 2 crops to attend within the next 2 months also. COOL!
Supplies:
Spellbinders die
BasicGrey chipboard letters
Reminisce stickers
Inque Boutique stamp
Tsukineko ink
MWM #30 sketch
Wow, a complete year of summary pages! How AWESOME is that???? Thanks to Project 12 at Scrapbook and Cards Today Magazine and Becky Fleck!
I used BasicGrey for the 2-page layout each month, yippee to dwindle the stash. Now if I could only do another 500 pages or so, I might really make a dent!
Without further delay, here’s the layout for December:
TOO FUN
and
I’ll do it again in 2011! I’ll work to stay caught up this year. 
Here’s the latest and greatest! I’ve swapped the sketches because I needed more photo spots, hope that was ok with the Project 12 team!
I had a lot of fun using the BasicGrey Hang 10 collection – fun, light and full of cool colors – perfect for this month!
Supplies:
BasicGrey patterned paper and stickers
Border punches

Here’s another installment of Project 12. Scrapbook & Cards Today love inspiring people with their originality, so it was great to be part of this year-long project.

Yes readers, I am FINALLY catching up with Project 12 pages! It is nearing year end and I wanted to do the pages so that I could fill in with more detailed layouts later. I’ve had so much fun with this project! I’ve used BasicGrey on every 2 page spread. I figured that I needed to start weeding out my BasicGrey collection, so it’s a good way to go isn’t it?
This month’s sketch is for September. Don’t forget to click on the image for more detail.

BasicGrey patterned paper and stickers

There was another layout from PageMaps that inspired me to do a page about my Christmas snowglobe collection. The sketch and the Graphic 45 paper actually.
I love the combo of kraft and red, so that’s what I started with as a base here. The patterned paper is so beautiful in color and pattern, that it really popped on this page. I added dimension to the little package in the upper left so that I could wrap the ribbon around without it looking too lumpy. I adhered the paper to some chipboard for stiffness then popped it.
The other patterns have Distress Stickles added as extra bling and texture. I just LOVED using my Stamps of Life stamps for the banner and globe. The big red flower vine plant is a Donna Downey foam stamp accented with Distress Stickles. The snowglobe has some embossing powder inside to serve as the snow.
I really liked all the stitching around the pictures and paper. It adds a nice homey touch.
Supplies:
Graphic 45 paper
Donna Downey foam stamp
Ranger Distress ink and Stickles
The Stamps of Life stamps, Joy2Christmas and Banners4all
Tsukineko ink
P K Glitz embossing powder
Acetate, self-adhesive foam, twill, ribbon, trim
