Project 12 :: January

     Yesterday, I shared with you my Project 12 title page and today I'm sharing my layout for January.

 

      This month and through out my album, I used the Simple Stories Snap line for my months because there is something about the bright, bold colors they used in that line that I absolutely love.

  

      One of my favorite things on this page is the Lawn Fawn flamingo stamp which signifies my favorite show (Cougar Town) coming back from it's year-long hiatus.   

                

This right hand page documents, the later part of the month which includes a house party, my December daily being completed, and a trip to Minute Clinic.  The slot that says Everyday Life talks about how my brother left all of his shirts at home when he returned to school - which might be one of the highlights of the month. 

                     

  

   These are my resolutions for 2013.  I started a tradition last year of making scrapbooking resolutions and making a page devoted to those things I either wanted to do or get done. Somethings on the list are finishing albums by certain dates, working on invitiations for one of my best friend's weddings and working on my high school albums.

   That's all I have for today ...  Thanks for stopping by!

 

 

Project 12 :: Title Page

     Coming into 2013, I knew that I didn't want to do a traditional scrapbook in the 12x12 sense - I like to change things up when I scrapbook every year.  I've always wanted to try Project Life, but I knew I wouldn't be able to keep up & do enough in one week to make it interesting.  My friend, Amy told me that she had heard about this new way of scrapbooking called Project 12, by Gossamer Blue.  Where instead of documenting each week of the year, you scrap each month in a 2 page layout.  

      This is my cover page for Project 12.  I knew there were specific pictures and titles I wanted to use I just didn't know how I wanted it to all come together.  I love the Studio Calico wood veneers - I like to call them restroom people, because I honestly don't know what else to call them.  The title came to me while I was working and had this idea to use the woman as the "i" in girl.  It was a once in a blue moon idea and I decided to run with it.  

     Along the bottom of my page, I designed a 4x6 with the quote from Ferris Bueller's Day Off where Ferris says, "Life moves pretty fast, if you don't stop to look around once in a while, you might miss it."  I added it because it's my favorite movie and I wanted that specific quote incorporated into the cover some how. 

     Thanks so much for coming & visiting my page.  I'll be updating January's Project 12 page tomorrow.
