My New Year’s Resolution

Well it’s back to work today!  I hope you all enjoyed your time off and got to spend time with family and friends.  Did you all make a New Year’s resolution?  I did and it is one that I think you will like.  I don’t usually make resolutions as they are so hard to keep.  We will see if this is one I can follow through on.

My resolution is to scrapbook at least once a week.  I have so many photos and I found an awesome site with some cute scrapbook ideas that I can’t wait to try!  I am thinking I will make Saturday my day to share what I have done for the week.  Doesn’t that sound like a good idea?

 It is also time for the new challenge at Late Night Stampers.  Our challenge this week is to create a card/project that reflects your New Year’s Resolution.  This was perfect and motivated me to start on mine.

Since my resolution was to scrapbook at least once a week I knew I needed to do the other page to the beginning of Bijou’s book.  I had made one of the pages to the 2 page spread quite a while ago for another challenge.  I decided to use this challenge to do the other page.  As luck would have it, I also found a challenge at Stampin’ Royalty for a scrapbook page/project that this also fits in.

Do you remember this page I did back in June?  Well this was one side of the 2 page spread to the beginning of Bijou’s book.

I knew what I wanted on the other side so it was just a matter of creating it.  I took some time yesterday and made my other page.  Here is what I created.

I used the same scalloped trim element but ran this one vertical down the side of the page.  I also used a butterfly punch to punch a bunch of butterflies to spread across the page. So now I have the title page and the first 2 page spread done.  I am so excited to be working on this!  I might just get it up to date this year!

Check back on Saturday to see what I do next!  Thanks for looking and have a Marvelous Monday!
