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.
supplies: Crate Paper Random and Emma's Shoppe Collections
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!
I wish I had more pictures of just me to scrap. Maybe I should make that my resolution! I think your picture is great and the journaling is fun. Good that you focused on YOU!
ReplyDeletewhat a great idea it is to journal your resolutions!! I have a few this year - losing 20 pounds, training my dog, etc. Happy New Year!
ReplyDeleteI 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.
ReplyDeleteThat is one of my favorite paper collections ever! What a fun page- I really need to do something like that sometime. And, it's not a bad picture of you, either. Welcome back to Texas!
ReplyDeleteOne of my resolutions is to eat healthier!!! Love your layout-the supplies are some of my faves!!! TFS!
ReplyDeleteOne of my resolutions is trying to catch up on my scrapping. I'm closing in a year behind!! I'm really trying :) Love your LO! It's beautiful!
ReplyDeleteSuch a wonderful LO! One of my New Years Resolutions is to start off scrapping with a bang and finish up all the holiday photos from last year.
ReplyDeletewonderful page Janelle - love how you've split your goals into sections
ReplyDeleteOne of my goals is to get rid of a lot of unused stuff from our home
I love how much journaling you were able to include w your use of multiple blocks!
ReplyDeleteOne of my resolutions is to cook more healthy 'family' meals...too often we are heating up junk while we are running out the door to activities.
Love all the journaling on your layout Janelle! Wonderful page!
ReplyDeleteOne of my goals for 2012 is to get more organized, scrappy and in my every day life.
Janelle... the picture of you is great!! and of course, your layout is awesome as well!! I love how you listed these things as a reminder to yourself...great idea!
ReplyDeletevery unique layout!
ReplyDeleteGosh, I love Crate Paper. I always have a ton of those journal cards left over when I do a layout too, so thanks for the challenge to use those premade cards. TFS your layout - good luck reaching your 2012 goals!
ReplyDeletegreat layout and not a bad picture at all but we are our own worst critiques.

Journaling card/block check! My new years resolution this year is to get a job.
ReplyDeleteI love using journaling blocks - stamped, stickers, diecuts, or otherwise... Your page looks wonderful.
ReplyDeleteJournaling blocks are fabulous! Love your page with the black and white photo of you. Need to be in more photos instead of behind the camera. :0)
ReplyDeleteI liked the three classifications in your layout and I also love to use journaling cards, so I'll surely follow your ingredient ;)
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year from Italy!
Love your page, Janelle!
ReplyDeleteWonderful layout- I really like how you used the journaling blocks- and your photo is beautiful!
ReplyDeleteIn 2012 I just want to continue to move forward and remain optimistic and positive.
One of my new year's resolutions is to keep up yoga. I recently started it and am enjoying the calm that it brings. Journaling blocks are great- there are so many fun ones to choose from!
ReplyDeleteI love all the journal blocks you used on your layout. I need to be better telling the story on my layouts, not JUST pretty paper and pics ;)
ReplyDeleteSuzanne suzyq28024@gmail.com
Your layout is so pretty!
ReplyDeleteReally cute layout!
ReplyDeleteMy resolution is to get my completed pages in albums! :)
Great LO! One of my resolutions is to go through my drawer of LOs that are ALMOST done--and finish them! (You know, the ones that still need the journaling added, the ribbon glued down, etc)
ReplyDeleteLove your layout! I want to organize my scrap supplies this year!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great layout! I love Crate Paper! One of my resolutions for 2012 is to be more organized!
ReplyDeleteSuch a wonderful LO! My resolution would be to keep close ties with our three children who moved out in 2011. ~ Blessings

Great layout. One of my resolutions is for every new paper and embellie I use to use one from my stash.

That's one of my favorite paper collections from 2011. Love your layout! One of my resolutions is to make scrapping more of a priority and schedule time for it if necessary
ReplyDeleteBeautiful layout! One of my resolutions is to use up more of my stash and to get it organized!
ReplyDeleteI 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!
