Lori

Michelle

Rainny

Do you like your own handwriting? I know some scrappers don't like adding their own writing to their layouts but I think it's good for others to look back on.

We would love to see yours so please link up your layout to the side bar.

Don't forget our design team call ends tonight so please get those entries in, all welcome! Thanks for everyone who has entered so far.

Happy Scrapping!

10th January- Old and New

  Happy New Year! 

A nice simple challenge to start the new year, out with the old in with the new!

Old and New; create a layout with something old and something new on.

Tell us what you used for your old and new items.

Lori - For something old I have used a splatter stamp, doilies, a glassine bag, the alphas, and acrylic hearts. For something new I have used papers and enamel dots from the Simple Stories Hip Hop Hooray collection from last spring and the heart die cuts are new.

Michelle

Happy New Year everyone!! For the something new I used Simple Stories' latest fall collection called 'Cozy Days'. For the something old I used hemp, staples and a stamp I have had for forever.

 

Rainny

One of my university classmates moved to a new house. We went to his home to celebrate. Our friendship for nearly 20 years, we are all old friends. 

For this layout I used new Simple Stories' papers and old American Crafts' alphas.

Please link up your finished layout to the top of the side bar, we would love to see it!

Don't forget our Design team call is also on, see the post below for details.

Happy Scrapping!

27th December - Looking Back

 Good Morning!

Today's challenge is ...

Looking Back; what a year it has been! As the new year is nearly upon us I want you to look back and review the year. What have you learnt? What would you prefer to forget?!

Lori

2020 has definitely looked a little different for us, but not all bad. I used one of my favorite photos and journaled a lot about how this year has been for us. You can read more about it on my blog.

Maya

Michelle

2020 was an especially bad year for our family. Without a doubt, the best thing that happened was the addition of sweet, precious Felix. I decided to create a layout of him.

Rainny

This is a photo taken on my birthday this year.

We simply celebrate my birthday at home. Jerry took a few funny selfies with me.

This year, due to COVID-19, we have a lot of inconveniences. Also let us cherish all the people around us more. Peace and health is the greatest happiness.

I hope that the epidemic will end soon and everything will be back on track. I hope all people are safe and healthy.

I hope that's inspired you to give it a go I think it's important to document the year good or back, it's great to look back on. Please link up your layouts to the side bar, we would like to see them.

I hope you all have a lovely Christmas however you spent it and we look forward to a new year that is better for everyone.

Happy New Year!

Happy Scrapping!
