2012 Top Ten List

Time for my favorite layouts of 2012!  I struggled with Mojo for much of the year, it seems, but managed to still create quite a few things I live.  Here are some of my favorites, in no particular order:

I notice a few trends here.  First, I really love single-photo layouts, but in most cases I use a fairly large photo (4x6 or greater).  Second, I used Mit/Paint/Ink on each of these.  Third, I like bright, bold colors.  Fourth, my fussy cutting habit is alive and well!  It’s interested to look at a collection of your work and see what defines it, isn’t it?

Thanks so much to all of the companies and design teams that sent my products and creatively supported me this year: Want2Scrap, Little Black Dress Kits, Pretty Little Studio, and The Curtsey Boutique.  I’m looking forward to what 2013 will bring!

It takes such a short amount of time, but haircuts always create such a big change in my little guy’s look.  I created this page for Pretty Little Studio, and this week’s contest has a $10 GC prize!

Good luck, and have fun playing along!

I know it’s not fall here in the US, but it certainly is somewhere, and I know I have scrappy friends everywhere.  This layout is created with those on the other side of the equator in mind!  You can see all the details and learn about the products at Pretty Little Studio.

Curiosity

Many times, I think it’s easy to forget how curious the littlest ones among us can be.  The 1 to 2 year can be especially busy, because everything is new to them (can you even imagine that?!)  These photos my brother sent of my nephew reminded me of that age, and how much fun (and work!) it can be.  The Monsieur Collection from Pretty Little Studio was perfect for these pics.  You can read more about my process in making this page, as well as see more from the rest of the team HERE.

Thanks for peeking!
