I Completed for 2008!

Happy New Year!!!!

I can't believe how much I got accomplished in 2008. I am so proud of myself. I reached all of my scrappy goals last year.

I completed 210 layouts, 77 cards, and 8 altered projects or mini albums. WOW!!! I really am in shock. The last thing I completed for 2008 was a layout titled My Little Pumpkin.


Before 2008 I hadn't made anything but layouts so I am proud that I was able to branch out a little, but in 2009 I do hope to branch out a little more.

My scrappy goals are to continue to make a large amount of layouts but if I don't reach 200 again I won't be disappointed either. I want to make 100 cards so hopefully I can use up some of my scraps and I want to make at least one altered item or mini album a month. Plus I would like to get published more but that means I need to actually submit things and I want to get on a design team again.

What are your goals for 2009?

Wall hanging and I picked another RAK

Gojenlaw please email me so I can send you the RAK!!

Also I finally made a chipboard wall hanging thanks to the challenge on Tara's blog. I have wanted to make one for my living room for months. Seriously months and just never got a round to actually doing it.

Its right by my front door and it was a spot that so needed a small altered piece. I hung the piece already and took the pic. Yes my wall in the living room is orange. Thanks for the challenge Tara!!



I used scenic route papers, some felt flowers, rhinestones, orange ribbon and a chipboard accent from La Di Dah (KI Memories).

drum roll please











Gloria!!! Congrats! Please email me your adress so I can send your RAK.

I made my Revised Goal

In the beginning of the year my goal was to complete 250 layouts this year. After my DH hurt his back in Sept I knew I wasn't going to be able to meet that goal so I revised my goal to 200 layouts and I made my goal this weekend while working on some crop challenges over at scrap 4 life. I'm so excited to have made my goal. So much so that I have decided to give away a RAK. If you would like to win the RAK just comment on this post.

My goal making layout is.....

2 Christmas Cards

I finally got a couple more xmas cards done. The first one is for 2 sketches 4 you. It was based on laura's sketch #14.




The second card was also based on a sketch this one was from So Sketchy. I picked the Nov #6 sketch which was for an 8 1/2 x 11 and I used it for my xmas card.

Scrapwhispers week#7 Cartoon Challenge Layout #2

I was so inspired for this challenge I decided to do a second layout. This pic was taken at the Disney Marketplace in Florida. It was one of the figures at the pin trading shop.

Scrapwhispers week#7 Cartoon Challenge

Create a layout inspired by a cartoon. This was easy I just went thru some of the Disney pics I had and picked out some I wanted to work with. So I picked these photos of Al of Al's Toy Barn from the Toy Story movie. This is when we were waiting in line to take pics with Buzz and Woody.
