Scrapbook 2010 finished at last!

Well, my December pages for 2010 are finally finished, I hope you like them!

I've also been busy this weekend making a book of my home, I spent a great day at Dyan's Art from the Heart craft emporium (! Heaven for me, Hell for the bank balance!). Dyan taught us how to put the book together, then I spent most of yesterday adding all the tags, pictures and other bits and bobs. It's my new favourite book now!

Finally, I just found out that one of my December pages in the collage above, has been published on a blog I follow about the adventures of Monkey. Wow, I feel famous! Here is the link...

Thank you Monkey, for letting me use your photo AND blogging about it, too. I am honoured!

Project 12

Well, having almost completed "Document 2010", I have been looking for a new challenge. I really enjoyed watching my 2010 album take shape, and it's great to look back now and see a permanent record of our year. For 2011 though, I wanted something a bit different, and a bit less than 4 pages every month! I've now found the perfect challenge, called "Project 12" (see the link on the right if you'd like to have a go). It's a great idea, with 1 sketch of a double layout provided for you each month, so all you have to do is add your photo's and choose which yummy papers you want to use. I'm really looking forward to it, and hope to add more journalling too, as I think that's what helps to bring the photos to life.
Alongside that, I'm hoping to progress more with my art journal, as I haven't had the confidence to paint or draw much, and when I do, I always think the results are rubbish. So 2011 will be the year I have a bit more confidence to have a go, and hopefully learn some new skills on the way.
So keep watching!!
