Think Spring...

Well it seems we are doing more mini projects around here than anything else. I just finished up my Spring Mini Album which I will be teaching at the Brandon Scrapbookers Convention. Here's a couple of pics for you to drool over : )

Not so much scrapbooking going on,

but I have completed a very cute heart album for a Kids Class at the Ceramic Corner. I love how it turned out. I love stamping and embellishing the most! So since I have been organizing so much this month I decided to take a break and finish this project. I can't wait for the crop in Virden on Feb 12 as I have so much to do. I keep thinking of layouts I want to create and papers I want to "play" with. I may just have to pull out some product and scrapbook very soon : )

Enjoy!

Welcome to January...

and although I refuse to make new years resolutions I have made a couple of goals to keep me busy. My greatest task ever is to organize my scrapbook area completely by the end of this month. I am so sick of all the extra stuff I have collected in the 10 plus years in this hobby that I am even dunging out some product I haven't used and do not plan to use. I want to say it's been going great, but everytime I get ahead there seems to be two steps back LOL! Here's my list of things I've been working on:

1.Clean off my desk of non essentials
2.Go through my patterned paper
3.Sort out my cardstock again : ( {It is now organized by color and one of 3 groups; neutrals, warm, cool}
4.Organize my albums (Lachlan's done (for now), Preston's 1st and 2nd album to be redone again as I found another pizza box with more layouts in it...Grrr)
5.Dung out anything I don't intend to use. No more saving for that perfect layout. I'd forget about it before it came around LOL!
6.Organize my photos and get them all in one place (digital and printed)
7.Date as many layouts as possible. (Lachlan's done and Preston's are almost done, then onto family, pets, and extras)

And with all this going on I've been doing really good at not spending any $$$ on scrapbook supplies this month. I plan on saving that for the Brandon Scrapbookers Convention in April : )

What are you doing to organize you space?

Not much going on in the Scrapbook front...

I've been super busy with Christmas and taking pictures to get ready for the after Christmas season that scrapbooking has taken a back seat. I did up Christmas cards for family this year, but other than that not too much has been going on. I have been organizing and trying to clear out stuff I don't want or use. I will be so happy when I finally have my scrap area totally organized.

Happy December 1st

Finally! It's December and finally beginning to feel a lot more like Christmas with this snow! I know there's a few people probably not too happy about it, but without snow for Christmas it just doesn't feel like Christmas. Marc and I took a trip to Estevan yesterday and it was just strange how we are almost finished our Christmas shopping and we both had said it didn't feel like Christmas. To get you into the holiday spirit here's a cute layout I did for Lachlan's first Christmas. Enjoy!
