Try this out for size....

Manor House Creations has these unique 7x12 papers, perfect for card-making or just to help you do something out of the box, for a change.
Here I used it to create my annual birthday LO --- I just turned 42 a few days ago. I will be the 1st to admit that I am soooooo old...but as long as I don't feel and look my age, then age is just a number to me :)

I hope you can try out this size and see where it takes you!

Life is Good

Here's the LO I made for Scrapfit Workout #42 which is to use a photo of ourselves from the past....this is one of the photos that comes to my mind when I think of myself as a child so I chose this...plus the fact that it's probably the one in the best condition as my mom used magnetic albums which are now yellowing and falling apart.

Title: Life Is Good

Materials: Patterned papers - The Girls Paperie, American Crafts; Felt - Making Memories; Chipboard, Pen and stickers - American Crafts; Ribbon - Pebbles Inc

Journaling: This is me at 4 or 5 yrs old. My messy hair was already a problem them...nevertheless, life was good to me then as it remains to be now... 040911

I hope you can join us for this workout!

Mr & Mrs

So, obviously, this LO is long-delayed...by almost 12 years...LOL! But when I was assigned to create a project with Pebbles Inc's new Mr. & Mrs. collection, I knew I had to use one of my wedding photos.

Like most scrapbookers, I started out with this hobby when I had kids, and wanted to document their lives. By that time, there was a ton of pictures already waiting to be scrapped so all I've ever done for my wedding was a very simple 8x8 album which I gave to my hubby 5 years later.

Make A Wish

Here's my 1st LO for Scrapfit Challenge blog. For Workout #37, we were asked to scrap about our dreams or goals. It took me forever to think of what mine is...and shallow as it may be...the only thing that I really, truly want right now (because I am already so blessed to have everything else) is to lose weight!

If you've barely made a dent in your scrapbooking goals for 2011, this is a great challenge to start with. I hope you can join us here and you have until the end of this month to submit your LO.
