BLOG HOPPIN'!!

Welcome to the My Scraps & More first blog hop!
The arrival of a new year always brings resolutions along with it.
We at My Scraps & More are focusing on these resolutions all through the month of January with a crop on the forum and we are starting it off with a blog hop!

This is the order of the hop:

As you hop along to each of the Design Team's blogs you will be collecting "ingredients" to our New Year's recipe. After you have collected all the ingredients, create a layout using those "ingredients". Post a comment on the My Scraps & More blog with a link to your layout.

Layouts are due Sunday, January 8, 11:59 pm.

Tammi will randomly select a winner for the grand prize of Fancy Pants Winterland paper collection. Watch along the way, some of the design team are giving away RAKs with their own requirements.

Here is my layout! I have been thinking about the goals I have for the next year and I decided to make a layout about the things I want to improve in 2012. I had a lot of fun with this layout, using my favorite papers and techniques to make it personal. My ingredient for you to use on your layout is a journaling card/block. I used four of them on my layout, three to actually write journaling on and one to ground my title.

Bad picture...ughh....anyway......
Thanks for stopping by my blog today. Leave a comment telling one of your new years resolutions and you will be entered in a drawing for a set of five handmade cards!

Now hop on over to Tracy's blog!
Happy Hopping!

  3. I love the colors you chose and your grid style layout! Hmmm.... I'd say one of my scrappy resolutions is to finish up a bunch of undone layouts that I have laying around. I have several that I just need to add photos to.

  37. I like that you included multiple improvements in your layout - it looks great but also lets you look back at your goals years later. One of my resolutions is to spend at least an hour a day doing something creative, so hopefully I'll get a lot of scrapping done in 2012!
