Don't you just love Christmas?

I also love these bright colors.  So festive!  Not a lot of journaling...but I think I've captured the spirit of the celebrations ;)

Yes, Jeni's is THAT good.

I celebrated a friend's birthday by forcing her to eat Jeni's ice cream for breakfast.  I know, I'm the best friend ever!  

And it's my New Year's Resolution to scrap more.  I really do love it, so I have dedicated Fridays to the wonderful passtime ;)  Happy 2011!

Here's to hoping...

I woke up this morning and found an email from JessicaSprague.com saying that they are doing another audition for more creative team members.  When they held auditions last spring, I was simply too busy to contribute.  I don't expect to be picked (there are so many people with great talent) but at least I got to try this time around!  I submitted this layout (completed today!) and the Friend Reunion and Lagoon layouts that are posted below.  Keep your fingers crossed for me ;)

Supplies Used: Crystal Wilkerson: The Room Collection medium scalloped boarder and A Kit for Kate (pink paper), Cosmo Cricket: Girl Friday, Katie Pertiet: Chipboard Alphabet Black and brad, Font: Century Gothic and Pea Madson

I have to say, I'm pleased with the way this one turned out.  (And I was THRILLED when I found the little sign that says, "I'm the Boss!" Ha ha!)

Oh, how I love a weekend at the cabin!

Two Ideas

I don't consider myself a very creative person. I feel like I struggle to come up with layout ideas. The first layout is one I've been thinking about ever since I saw a layout in Creating Keepsakes in April. It was titled "She Saves Me" and I immediately thought of Olivia. I didn't copy that layout, but I did draw inspiration from a layout in the July issue of CK. The second layout is one that I thought of while driving home from a quick weekend trip. I randomly remembered a blog post I did two years ago, and decided that it would make a great scrapbook page. So, although I don't have very many creative sparks on a daily basis, today I was successful with one :)
