New Years Resolutions… (an update)

This weekend Mark & Jaydon have been gone.  They went with a good friend of ours to Spokane to pick up a military trailer and whatever other military vehicles, parts, or a combination of that we just can’t live without.  So I have been using this *slightly* free time (I still have Trenton –2 and Bolton –2 months) to get a few things done around the house and focus on my resolutions.  I FINALLY got the very dry Christmas tree down and outside last night!  I tried to go to bed but could not fall asleep so I put in a good chick flick and started writing out the monthly challenges!  I think I have most of them done!  So I am going to try to type them up and set them to post at later dates… I am still new to this blogging thing and although I think I am getting the hang of it, this will be the first time post-dating an entry.

I did come to a conclusion… I normally just post a challenge for either a card or a scrapbook page, for this year there will be a challenge for both!  Enter one or enter both, and enter them as many different times (with different projects pertaining to the challenge) as your heart desires.  Each entry is worth a entry into the drawing. 

Good Luck and I hope that you have fun with this.  I hope it sparks creativity in us all!

These are a few of my favorite things…

I was looking through some photos (on the computer of course, because we live in a digital world!)  and came across a photo of a family page that I had made for a part of a gift for my Grandma.  I love the way this page turned out and plan on replicating it soon as I start to work on our wedding album.  Here is the page Not a very good picture, but i think you get the idea.   Then I kept looking and I must say that the baby announcements turned out adorable and I would like to début the Thank You cards that I am still finishing up and getting in the mail…

again, not a great picture of the picture.  If you know of anyone expecting and would like to create announcements or thank you cards as a gift to them, let me know!  I would love to help create something that will WOW them!  By the way, the saying on the bottom reads “We have added on to our home an additional two feet” .  I used Choc Chip, Whisper White and Barely Banana paper as we did not know what we were having.

And here is the Thank You card.  I continued with the “two feet stamp” and the same color combination but added Certainly Celery DSP to add a boy touch.  It is stamped on the inside with a simple “Thank you” stamp. 

Have fun today and get creating!
