Project 12 – January 2012

Project 12 has finally arrived, and I can’t believe that I have managed to scrap my first pages already.

This is the first year for me trying the challenge, and I didn’t want to get behind. Last year I successfully completed project 365, but my photos are only stored neatly on my PC. I will get around to creating a photobook at some stage. This year i’m going to be creative and combine the photos on a monthly scrapbook page along with some journalling. I’m not very good at putting my words onto paper, but thought I would give it a go.

What do you think?

The original sketch was from January 2010.
It’s a pretty simple and a clean design but I love it all the same.

I was lucky as my sister was placing a scrapbook order, so I ordered some of the fab Bo Bunny AD LIB pages. They were just perfect for January.

I used white and grey Brazil basics for the background. The patterned paper was Bo Bunny AD LIB, Scribbles, Hoopla & Vertigo. The document sticker was also from AD LIB. The 2012 numbers were from a papermania docrafts. Everything else was from my stash, including using punches for the individual photo numbers.

I really enjoyed this month, and i’ve been extremely lucky with how easy everything has come together. I’m not expecting February to be as straight forward, but I’m looking forward to the challenge all the same.

I can’t leave the month, without says thanks to Liz for the idea and my wonderful hubby who gave me time yesterday to scrap! x

12×12 Sketch Challenge

My sister-in-law send me a link to the Jillibean Sketch Contest for December 2011.

I’m new to creating ideas for sketches, but have loved thinking about this and creating my page.

I had recently purchased some Bo Bunny Crazy Love12x12 paper. I used Crazy Love & Fudge & Flowers along with White and Pink Brazil Card Stock. The Buttons were from my mums sewing collection. I used my own embroidery thread.

This was the original sketch

And a picture of me scrapping.

Thanks for sending me the original link Liz, I’m looking forward to a fun year of scrapping and sharing ideas. x
