Grab Bag Time!

It’s grab bag time and Mari Koegelenberg completely outdid herself. This grab bag is huge, packed with bright colors and adorable papers and elements. You don’t want to miss this!!

I used it to make 2 pages for my P365 – the colors were just perfect!

P365 – done!

Wow, it feels so good! I finished scrapping all of my 2009 P365 LOs. Here’s the last ones:

Of course, I’m doing it again this year. 😉 I have a few weeks to catch up, but it’s coming! 🙂

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! 🙂

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. 😉

Weeks 41-46

Brace yourself: this is one long post! I haven’t posted my P365 pages in a while, so I have a few to share now. 🙂 I still have last week’s page to scrap, but other than that, I’m all caught up, as usual. Feels so good!
Anyway, here we go!

I really enjoyed DSD weekend: I grabbed a few gorgeous kits with the sale, and I managed to scrap a few pages too. 🙂 Here’s a few non-CT pages I did. First off, one using most of the new goodies I got with the sale:

I have 5 more weeks to post, but those will have to wait, because in week 41 I took pictures of a cute hybrid project that will be featured in the November ScrapMatters newsletter and that can’t be shown until Nov. 15. BTW, if you haven’t already, you can sign up here for the newsletter (and apart from my tutorial, you’ll find interesting tips, and a gorgeous free kit like in every newsletter, so do sign up!)

Busy Bee

I’ve been a busy bee lately, but I won’t be scrapping LOs nearly as much this week, because I started working on a (huge!) hybrid project last night and I hope to get it done by next weekend, so that DH can bring it to my mom when he goes to visit.

I got to play with Jennifer Barrette’s collab with Lauren Grier, Off the Beaten Path, and I’m totally in love with this kit!!!

Here’s one page I created (there’s more, but I can’t show it just now.. 😉 ):

Then I did a page for the new My Story Matters challenge, about my friends in middle school:

I started my photography course, and yesterday I shot in full manual for the first time! 😀 (the only 2 other occasions I used Manual was for fireworks, to use the bulb function, so it didn’t really count.. 😉 ) I’m excited to learn how to use my camera properly!
