Gift Tags

I was working on a P365 page with this adorable kit, and I realized I never posted the gift tags I made with it. So, here they are:

and this kit is simply fabulous! It makes me happy just to look at it! 😉

Almost There..

Slowly but surely, I’m catching up on my P365. 🙂 I have under a month to catch up with now! Here’s weeks 48 and 49:

I thought I would keep doing P365 this year, but I’m not too sure anymore.. I switched to a new research group about a month and a half ago, and I’ve been working like crazy ever since. I will have much less scrapping time this year, so I don’t know if I can keep the P365 up.. I certainly will keep taking a photo every day, but I don’t know if I can scrap them as well.. Anyway, I’ll try, and we’ll see how it goes.
I’m excited that ScrapMatters is starting a P365 challenge! I hope that helps me to keep my pages coming! 🙂

Goodbye 2009.. Welcome 2010!

Happy New Year!
While I haven’t kept an accurate count, I believe I completed 327 LOs in 2009.. That is, not counting the P365 pages, nor the hybrid projects, nor the calendar pages. Boy, that’s quite a lot! 😉
I didn’t do any resolutions last year, nor will I do any this year (I can’t stand the pressure!), but I am really happy about where my scrapbooking led me in 2009. I know I will have less scrapping time this year, but I hope to still manage to squeeze in some satisfying quality time. 🙂
It’s really impossible for me to pick one favorite LO of the year.. I really love them all, and am proud of several of them.

(Sorry for the horrible picture.. I just discovered I accidentally erased the good pictures I took, after I’d already sent the card.. Ugh!)

Catching Up (Barely)..

I am so glad I have a few days of holiday. I spent some time at the computer catching up on LOs, and had some crafting time, too!
I’m still behind with my P365 pages, but I’m catching up. Here’s Week 47, using some gorgeous products I was RAKed with. 😉

Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas! As usual Christmas got here way too fast, but I’m really glad this year to have a few days off to relax and be with my husband.

I wanted to share our photocards for this year (as usual, after I designed the first, I wanted to try something else, and ended up with 3 designs! 🙂 ):

Hybrid Nativity Set

My crazy schedule hasn’t relented much, but this weekend I worked on a very quick and pretty hybrid project, so that my mom could bring it back home with her.
I used Chelle’s gorgeous kit, O Come Let Us Adore Him:

and I made a hybrid Nativity Set:

It is really super cute, and very easy and quick to make. I need to make another one for us, hopefully tonight! 🙂
Today is my last work day before Christmas break. I have SO many things I need to catch up on!

Snow Much Fun

Yes, I am done with classes for the semester. No, I’m not any less busy, unfortunately!! :-/ I’m working a lot, trying to make a good impression on my new adviser, and on top of that, my mom is visiting. 😉 But, life is good, and I’ll be on holiday a week from today! Christmas is approaching way too fast..
Anyway, of course all of this has left me with no time to scrap. I only worked on a little crafty project for my Secret Santa (well, actually, I am the Secret Santa of this person, but you got the idea!) and I thought that would be it for the week. But then, I saw Mari’s new, fabulous, huge, amazing collection and I had to play with it right away! Here’s Snow Much Fun:

It’s the most fabulous winter kit you could wish for! The snowmen are just adorable, and the kit is jam packed with goodies. You also get 3 (THREE!) darling alphas and some fantastic brushes!
As I said, I didn’t have time to scrap with it, but I needed some cards so here’s what I made:

I cannot wait to scrap a few pages with those adorable snowmen! 😉

Friday!

Gosh, I can’t believe one whole week has gone by since my last post.. This shows how busy I’ve been! :-/ And it’s not over yet!
But today is Friday, which means new releases at ScrapMatters. This week I had NO time to scrap, but in the weekend I did cut out a short time from my busy schedule to use this gorgeous new kit by Anna BV:

I simply couldn’t resist that adorable reindeer… Can you?!? 😉 Here’s the page I did with it:

I can’t wait to have some time to scrap, and work on some hybrid goodies. But unfortunately, it won’t be in the near future! I’m crazy busy with school, and (WOOOOT!) my mom is coming to visit tonight!!! I cannot wait! Unfortunately, the snow has arrived this week, and it looks like it’s here to stay. And it’s 16 F now, too! I love snow, but with my mom still not walking too well after taking her cast off 3 weeks ago, it would have been best not to have snow around for a week still.. Oh, well, it’s here now, and we can manage it, I hope! 🙂

Lots of New Products!

It’s Friday, and this means lots of new releases at ScrapMatters! 🙂
I am in love with this collab by Sahlin Studio and Sugarplum Paperie:

I’m glad this week is almost over (and we’re at -1 week from my mom’s visit!! so exciting!!) but I’m not looking forward to the weekend, because I have lots of work to do.. :-/

December BYOC

Amy Sumrall has 2 new products for the December BYOC in store today!

I used them both to make a tree tag:

and let me say, it’s just adorable! 😉
