Project 12 - March

Ok I think I'm on a roll...but I don't want to jinx it.
Last night I completed a layout for Scrapdango's spring cleaning event, and also my layout for Project 12 - March.
I know that March isn't over yet, but we have nothing exciting planned except for work until the end of the month, and I had more than enough photos to fill the spots. I also decided to use CosmoCricket (Togetherness) papers, but I only had a mini deck, so I cut out 3 x 3 squares and made a grid pattern for my background.

 

TFL!

Project 12 - February

Here is my February layout for the Project 12 sketch.

 

Tomorrow I'm going to work on the March sketch, but I can't decide - Echo Park (For the Record), Cosmo Cricket (Togetherness), or Cosmo Cricket (Social Club)

Then, of course, I need to work on my DT application for Scrapdango.

TFL!

Project 12

Is anyone doing Project 12 this year??

I am!  2 years ago I tried Project 365 and it became too much, and last year I printed calendar pages, and wrote notes and stuck pictures on it for each month. This year I am going to attempt to do a whole year of this, with a 2 page layout every month.

What is Project 12?  Check out the explanation here and here
The sketches by Becky Higgins are awesome and easy to follow, I think I will be able to do this :)


Here is my first layout...for January of course!

Next order of business - make myself a new blog header, the one right now is kind of a place holder.

CROWNED 2011

Ok....so I haven't posted for over a month now, but to be honest, I  haven't really scrapbooked.
I started up again with Scrapdango's library crop last weekend.  Now that that is over, there is an even bigger thing going on over at Scrapdango, and I am hoping it will kickstart my scrapbooking even more.  I had so much fun participating last year, and made some of my favorite layouts.  So with out further adieu, here are the details:

Cards for the Troops

Many of you may have heard of Operation Write Home.  It is a program, where cardmakers send their handmade cards to deployed American troops so that they can write home to their families.  When I completed Scrapdango's ABC's of cards, I had a lot of cards, and was searching for something to do with them.  What I found was something similar called Cards for Canadian Soldiers.  It is a smaller site, founded by one generous person, to get cards out to the deployed Canadian troops.  It seems to be just starting up, so I was happy to contribute.

Here are some of the cards that I sent:

If you have an extra stash of cards, or love to make cards, then I encourage you to send them off to one of these organizations.  It is just something little we can do to give back.

Exciting News and Picture of the RAK!!

Ok...so I have been holding back this news, because I wanted to save it for today when I posted my challenge over at Scrapping the Moments.  For any of you that are followers of Cosmo Cricket's blog,  there was a contest recently to win a box of Julie's stuff.

 "Ok, enough of that, we haven't had a giveaway for a while. And, I'm in a cleaning out my house sort of mood. So, I am giving away to one lucky winner a huge box of everything in my office that I don't need anymore."

 .....And I won it.  The had a heck of a time getting ahold of me...somehow I missed the blog post announcing I won (you can follow this story on their blog)....but I just received it last night, and holy crap there is a lot.  So much that I need to give some of it away.  Some of the pages aren't full pages, and there are a few stickers missing on one of the sheets, but for the most part I chose full sheets out of the box.

So without further adieu, here is a picture of the RAK that one lucky person will be getting.
(I apologize for the bad lighting)

 

There is some Nutmeg in there, Earth Love, lots of The Boyfriend, a bit of Jacks World, Everafter, and a few random rubons and stickers thrown in.  (I may even add to it as I continue to sort through my box of goodies)

So just to remind you, here is what you have to do.  Go to Scrapping the Moments (sign up if you don't already belong) and complete my sketch challenge by December 15th.  Your layout needs to be posted in the Sketch Challenges folder in the gallery to be entered to win.  I will randomly draw a winner on Dec 16th.  Can't wait to see what you come up with :)

 

Sketch Challenge

Hey Ladies,

My second sketch challenge is up at Scrapping the Moments.  I had so much fun creating this sketch and layout.  I even broke out a needle and thread.

I would love for some new people to this site to come and check out my challenge.  And as an incentive I will be offering a RAK.  I will be posting a picture of it as soon as I get it organized.  But lemme just say there is going to be lots of Cosmo Cricket yumminess.

In order to be entered to win, you need to complete the challenge by Dec 15 and post it in the Sketch Challenges gallery.

Hope you have as much fun as I did :)
