This was from January 2008, so 11 years ago now and we still have these two crazies. I used the Wintergreen DSP again and I'm seriously thinking about looking for more on eBay or something because I has a sad when I think how close I am to being out of it. And there's my favorite paw print stamp, I don't even know who makes it but I use it a lot on my doggy scrapbook pages. (Yes I am making a scrapbook for my dogs...well really it's for me but it's all dog pictures. I don't care if you think I'm crazy, I love my fur babies.)
Color palette is almost straight out of the patterned paper: Certainly Celery, Soft Sky, Always Artichoke, and Night of Navy (navy is not in the paper but I like it with all those greens and blues). I would never have put Certainly Celery and Always Artichoke together on my own, but I do really like how it looks.
Supplies:
Stamps: Labeler Alphabet, Whimsical Alphabet Upper, non-SU paw print
Ink: Always Artichoke, Night of Navy
Paper: Certainly Celery, Always Artichoke, Wintergreen DSP
Accessories: Circle Punches
Okay, so instead of resolutions, I have GOALS for 2019 and a lot of them are paper craft-related, so I'm sharing them here so I have them written down somewhere and I can keep myself accountable.
Goals for scrapbooking!
1. Make 200 scrapbook pages (so 100 double-page layouts). I got fairly close to that in 2018 (178 finished, 8 more just need journaling but I'm bugging the hubs to do that this weekend), so I think I can do this as long as I keep at it regularly.
2. Finish Ryan's baby book. I pretty much finished June so I've got 8 months left to do. And then I'll start sharing those here when I finish up the China posts on Sundays.
3. Work on getting my pictures organized. I've done a lot of organization on them, but I know we have a LOT of extra pictures...like, we don't need 75 nearly identical shots of Neuschwanstein, and I can cull out blurry pictures and stuff too so when I'm looking for something in particular it won't take me forever to find it. I also need to organize recent photos of Ryan and order them so I have even MORE photos to scrapbook ;) I'm hoping to make the organization progress a weekly thing, like on Sunday mornings we have muffins or pancakes or waffles or whatever for breakfast, so I can work on the photos for a bit while I eat breakfast on Sundays. That's my plan.
Goal for reading!
1. End the year with fewer unread books on my Kindle than I started, so the number to beat is 125. Basically I want to read faster than I buy books, haha. Ummm so is now the time to mention that I just got two more books for free with Kindle First and yesterday my friend alerted me to another free book so I'm already +3? Yeah this goal is going well. At least those three books were all free?
Goal for cross stitching!
1. Finish The Accolade. I started working on this in 2011, and I've put in 18 months of work on it over the past 7+ years, and this year I'm going to FINISH IT. I've got several projects in mind when that one is done, but here's my progress pic on it:
I'm about 78% done, hope to finish it by this summer.
So. Five goals. I think they're all reasonable as long as I keep them in mind as I go along this year. With that in mind, I have the supplies for my next layout on my craft table right now, so I'm going to go get started. Cheers, y'all!
