Happy New Year!

So, I've done P365 before a couple of times and never gotten it into books.  This year, I'm starting now.  I'm not sure if it'll be exactly a P365 but I plan on scrapping our lives in a weekly format..and keeping up.  I've found these month templates to use for intros to each month and I'll be using a cohesive set of templates to keep it looking similar.  Hopefully it'll work out this year!

I've Slowed Down!

Well, my goal of having my Hawaii book done for Christmas is no more.  Really, I've been working on a bunch of other projects, too, and it has just gotten too far behind.  I will finish it, though.  Until then, I've done a few more pages!

Hoppin' Down the Bunny Trail!

Well, I must admit that I am falling behind on my Hawai'i book.  There is just too much life going on!  Christmas probably won't happen but we'll see.

So, you'd think I'd done an Easter page from my title but I had fun using an Easter kit to do this totally non-Easter page.

Getting There!

Well, I have not made as much progress on my Hawai'i book as I had hoped, but I have made more progress than I thought I might, if that makes sense.  It helps when I have such wonderful products to use!  Oscraps is full of beautiful items!

These first couple of pages are for some of the monthly challenge at Oscraps and I love the inspiration I got from them.

Beach

This was for the colour challenge - such a perfect palette for our beach days!

This challenge was about contrasting your type with the background.  I think I did an OK job, but it's not as dramatic as I would like.  However, the challenges are about inspiring you to get your scrap on and it worked for that!

Well, I don't know if I'm quite on track for my goal of having my photobook done but here are a few more pages I've completed...

I love how this turned out.  I was so unsure but the grocery bag was ugly colours so I just turned it into a sketch and used it for the background.  I think it turned out really fun.
