I’m back with my next page for January, Pixels, Paper and Paint ‘These Moments Matter’ Month of Challenges from Rachel Jefferies and Lynn Grieveson. For today, the prompt is Overlooked Details. This photo may look just like another sunrise over the ocean, but it is from a location that is very special to me. I have visited this same spot for well over half my life; as a teen, a young mom, and even with grandchildren. As of this past year, that place has been sold and I won’t experience the sunrise from this spot again. I’m excited for new adventures, but sad that it’s gone. Bittersweet for sure.
Happy Friday!! I’m back with my next page for January, Pixels, Paper and Paint ‘These Moments Matter’ Month of Challenges from Rachel Jefferies and Lynn Grieveson. For today, the prompt is Number It. It wasn’t difficult for me to come up with a number that has significance in my life. It’s the one that most consider unlucky, but for me it’s been a lucky one! I also went photoless, which is something I very rarely do 🙂
For this page I used Mirth, Current, and Serendipity by Rachel Jefferies.
Happy New Year!! New years are new beginnings and I am hoping to find a new beginning with my scrapbooking. 2024 was an off year for me. I lost my drive and found myself doom scrolling more than creating. I need to change that for 2025! I’m sharing my pages for January, Pixels, Paper and Paint ‘These Moments Matter’ Month of Challenges from Rachel Jefferies and Lynn Grieveson. They are both so inspiring and creative. It’s time to get things rolling again!
My first page is for the prompt ‘A Glimmer’. This was a moment I captured between two of my grandchildren. My (only) grandson is so good with the little girls. He is always interacting with them and looking out for them!
I hope you all have some really fun stuff planned for the weekend, or maybe even a little relaxing. I’m still not sure what mine holds other than going to watch two of my grandchildren play basketball. Well, one plays and one shows up and hates every minute of it lol.
I thought I’d pop in here real quick and share some new releases in the world of digiscrapping this weekend.
It’s BYOC time at The Lilypad!! I was fortunate to be able to create with a couple of the wonderful new releases!!
I’ve also spent a lot of time lately catching up on my PL pages!! I am almost there. As soon as I get this week’s done, I will be all caught up!! Here are a couple of the most recent spreads. You can check out all my pages and credits here under Project Life 2024 or at The Lilypad HERE.
Thanks for stopping by and I hope you have an amazing weekend ahead!!
I have been working hard today to get my Project Life caught up. I still have about 4 spreads left to do, but I should be caught up in the next couple of days.
I did want to pop in and share what I created this week and the fabulous new releases that I had the pleasure of creating with!
Where did January go? Oh yeah, it was busy! I participated in the Month of Challenges at The Lilypad and finished for my 10th straight year. It was so fun and helps a dark dreary month fly by! If your interested, you can check out all my pages for that here – MOC 2023. In addition to that, my kiddo started his last year of MACC. It’s an academic competition team that he is part of. He is on the Social Studies and All-Around teams, and we are hoping for big things this year!!
I kind of fell off the wagon for a little while, December was kind of a mess of good, bad and busy! My mom was sick for a little while and it was pretty scary. She is on the mend now, but we’re still keeping a watchful eye. Then, on December 5, my newest granddaughter made her entrance in to the world, 3 1/2 weeks early. She is doing great and so precious.
Christmas became a little bit of a crunch but, once break rolled around, I was feeling pretty good about things and getting in the spirit. Then, bam, Christmas Eve at 3am we lost power with temperatures below 0 and -30 wind chills. We don’t lose power here very often, so I figured it would be up and running pretty quick. Was I ever wrong. We ended up without power for 36 hours. All we had was a little space heater to hover over, lots of blankets, and a bunch of rousing games of Trivial Pursuit. We spent Christmas Day opening gifts and trying to stay warm. Chance and I finally left around noon on Sunday to take a shower and cook some food at my mom’s. Then we went to visit the new baby. The power came back while we were gone, but it took a good bit before the house was warm again.
So, that’s where I’ve been. Plus the fact that the internet was out for a couple of days after the power came back. I did manage to get caught up with PL pages and DYD pages. I have those updated for the most part.
Now here we are! I’m mainly dropping by today to share a couple of things I’ve managed to get done in the last few days.
Rachel Jefferies is now a part of Memory Pockets Monthly at The Lilypad and I am so excited for what she brings to this collection! Here is a layout I created using the main kit and her add-ons!
I don’t think I touched my planner at all in 2022, but I am determined to change that in 2023. Here is my first page for January!
Memory Pockets Monthly – Emerge by Sara Gleason, Rachel Jefferies, Mommyish, Designed by Soco, Becca Bonneville, and Allison Pennington
And so here we are. Let’s see how I do with keeping up with all of this! Only time will tell 🙂 I hope that you all have a fabulous and safe New Years weekend!!
I hope that everyone had a fabulous Thanksgiving and, if you participate, a successful Black Friday!! I didn’t do much shopping because I tend to get overwhelmed with all the things, but I do hope to look around a bit over the next couple of days.
I thought I’d take a minute today to share some new releases for this weekend! There are lots of scrapping Black Friday sales going on and it’s a great time to stock up!!
Holy cow! I won’t even tell you how many times I have said that I am going to get back on this blogging thing. We’ll just call 2021 and most of 2022 a wash! Life has truly been up and down, and you know what they say about good intentions!!
I have updated my PL pages through last week, so if you want to do any catch up on what’s been going on, most everything is there. I also added 2020 and 2021 DYD if you’d like to check it out. I’ll be adding all the credits as time allows.
I’ve still been scrapping away, although not as much as previous years. I’m going to do my best to update here with new pages going forward. I would really love to be back in this space on a regular basis, so wish me luck!!
