Here we are on the 4th of January and the last day of my holidays and I finally did a little scrapping. Seriously, what is wrong with me?!?! I have been off for 2 weeks but apparently I needed to wait until the day before returning to work to get a little scrappy. Oh well, I am very happy with what I got accomplished. My goal this year is to test my own creativity and not rely on sketches and such as much!! That being said, I can't get too far outside the box since my clean & linear style will only let me go so far I think! Anyway, here are my first 2 layouts for 2009 and I am pretty pleased with both of them!!
Details: cardstock - Bazzill; pp - Fancy Pants "The Daily Grind"; journaling spot - Your Memories By Design; font - Storybook by QuicKutz
Details: cardstock - Bazzill; pp - October Afternoon "Good Cheer"; font - Metro Classic by QuicKutz; stamps - frame & "Christmas 2008" by QuicKutz
Another thing I am going to do this year is set another scrappy goal for myself. Last year my target was 200 layouts and I am pleased to say that I made it to 216! YAY!!! This year, I have a couple of things I am going to work toward.
First, I am going to step it up a little and see if I can make it to 250 layouts for 2009!! (2 down - 248 more to go!!)
Second, I am going to work on making some cards. I think I will be kind to myself and say 50 of those just because I am still a newbie. As a specific part of that though, this year I would like to make and send a birthday card to each member of my family (which in case you don't know is A LOT of people). Sad to say this is not something I usually do since bought cards are just too expensive. Let's see if I can meet my goal.
2 fabulous layouts Tracey and your daughter is just adorable. Good luck with your goals for 2009! Hugs, Nikki x
