It looks like everyone is getting in the swing of things this month. I have 5 pages started for this month but I am having great trouble with titles for them. I have 1 done, 3 that need titles and/or journaling and 1 that needs all the elements glued down plus title and journaling.
When I post I will have a whole slew to go at one time, lol.

As soon as I make up my mind where things are to be hung, and DH hangs them, then I will post photos. It is not a new room, just newly done.
I painted it yellow, and the first few days, I thought it was too much, but now love it. This is funny... I took a sheet of Barely Banana CS into lowes and they matched it. I should have taken in Baja Breeze! That is my favorite. I didn't know they could do that . They just scan the cs and make the paint. Anyway, my room was white before, and now much lighter with the yellow. I wouldn't have guessed that. Important since my carft room is in the side of the basement with now windows.

Okay, sorry..Can you tell I am excited about it?

Before I sold my house last year, I had a craft room that was yellow...And, I had all white furniture...I LOVED IT!

Good morning ladies! Just hanging out in the craft room this morning. Made a card and decorated a gift bag today for a grandson who's turning five on Saturday. I used punch art and made a monkey which WAS at one point in time his favorite animal but I'm not sure what might be now. Here's the link to the project picture in my gallery:

I'm going to hostess for the Virtual Stamp Night coming up Friday, Feb. 9 (mini) and Friday March 9 and Saturday March 10. It's a first for me so wish me luck!

Hi from Nashville, TN! Hope all of you are having a SCRAPPY week! I'm looking forward to some scrappin' time this weekend. I was at a customer conference all week last week and next week. Need a craftin' break ...

My mojo hasn't visited much yet this year, so I am forcing myself to have a scrappy day today. I'm hoping if I sit down and just do it, that I will get it done! Wish me luck.

[wendella247]

Popping in to say hi.

Melina (mepylant)—all of your your pages turned out great! I love the bold striped paper and circles and that big A on the Bama pages! And the Roll tide roll pages are fabulous. You’ve been doing some awesome pages!

Sharon (sewflake) – I’ve stacked up a few myself. I have 2 or 3 digi pages done that I haven’t posted yet, but I’ve told myself I’m not posting anything until I get my long overdue paper 2-pager done!!

Sharon (smadson) – Your room sounds awesome! My scrapping area is the back section of my living room, so I’m stuck with living room d�cor. I do have lots of window light, though, so I’m thankful for that!

Lynn (muzbysmom) – congrats on volunteering as hostess for Virtual Stamp Night! I haven’t done a VSN in a long time—I’ll have to check it out!

Cheryl (motherload)– GOOD LUCK with your mojo – I can’t believe you’re not knee deep in a page-a-day project!! I always enjoy seeing what you’ve created and look forward to finding some new goodies in your gallery soon!

Patti (princessp1971) -- I'm determined to get one of your challenges done this week -- I've been off the "challenge wagon" for a while now! Your challenge this week looks like fun!

Have a great day, everyone!

I have been trying to get myself back into scrapbooking. So tonight, while doing a challenge elsewhere I came across the idea to add a page to my personal album I started recently (well, several months now). I have to commit to a goal of one a month for now. I'll see where that takes me, but at least I will commit to making one page per month. Looks like some new stuff going on, so I need to read and catch up on the fun and inspiration.

Same here. I claimed today (well this afternoon) as scrappy time so no one is allowed to invade my space with teenage nor husbandy problems ;-). Somehow I doubt that will happen but at least I put it out there.

You can do it, Mary Pat! We got some snow/ice last night....not really enough to keep me from going out if I absolutely had to but enough to give an excuse to stay holed up ALL day! Hopefully I can get some pages done!

Hello....here's my first page of 2012. I have another one done but got to make the list of what is made from first.

10 Tiny Toes

TFL!

[thankyou]

Need help! Trying to get back into my scrapbooking mode. All my things have been packed away for almost two years. I found a 2.0 scrap book story book package for 20 bucks and have never seen this kind of program. Any thoughts

Sorry. I use Photoshop Elements. Can you do a google search and get some info that way maybe? I tried to do a search in the digital scrapbooking forum but too many came up to check them all out.

[wendella247]

Happy Birthday today to Lela!!! And many more, Lela!!

I also use Photoshop Elements, but I'm sure you can find something online. There are some free programs you can download online that are supposed to be pretty good too -- Picasa and Gimp are two that I know of. They're digiscrap programs and don't use "real" supplies. Everything is dogotal images.

Awww, thanks so much ladies...you are both very sweet! Seems like I am getting stuck in this digital world though, have yet to do my 2 traditional scrapbook pages for my Jan goal...

Congrats on getting your first page done Sharon, I will go and take a peek once I am done here.
Happy Scrappin Everyone!

[AnnFlynn]

Hello everyone! Sounds like everybody is just Scrappin' Along!
I posted a couple more pics in the gallery. The lady I help out with scrapbook page layouts has been busy, busy since the start of the year so it has kept me going, which is good! By the way, if anyone is interested in some free scrapbooking software, I have a contest running on my blog for a free copy, pop on over if you want to enter!

Hello all, I got about half of my planned pages done in the past year, but I love the results. Going to aim for 2 pages per month and hopefully get some bonus ones done too!

[sewflake]

Good Morning ladies, just a quick in and out this morning but I will be back later today...... This will be my catch up day on my scrapping. I should have some posted late this afternoon, then I will stop by a chat a bit.

[Becabooh]

Whoop Whoop, got 2 pages done yesterday...love how they turned out...hope to get a couple more done tonight before we meet up with friends to watch some football...Seems Sunday is always the day that I could get pics uploaded here BUT I can't because of the no upload rule...so, maybe I will get a couple of moments one evening this week I will try!

[eeddmm]

Good Afternoon. I'm spending the day cooking (not my favorite thing...let me tell you!) but I found a gallery of another digital scrapper (Lisas Scraps) who made a comment on one of my pages and her's has some really cute layouts (with barely any comments) so I thought I'd put a link to her's here...if you've got a chance, go check it out. They are really cute!

I'm starting with a goal for 3.5 pages today. If I get that done, I'll get more ambitious with the goals.

Well didn't work out but tomorrow I'm ignoring the house and scrapping when they all go to work/school...can't wait to come back and see your pages so I can be INSPIRED!

Is it Creative Memories story book software? If so, 2.0 was several years ago. The new version is 4.0. I think you can use other non-CM digi downloads with it but none of the current CM digi downloads will work with 2.0 It is pretty easy to use but I can't tell you much about it because I don't remember how the versions have changed.

[sewflake]

Wendy; I like how you listed what comment you were responding to, it really lets us know all posts are read. I think I will emulate you on that score, hope you don't mind.

Mary Pat; Sorry about the day not working out for scrapping. I have plenty of those days but mine is usually from getting myself side tracked, or losing focus.

Ann; You have some niffty pages on your blog. I can't see myself getting into digital scrap booking. Did you notice I did not say I would never get into digital?? I like some the effects you get with digital that just don't translate into traditional very well.

Terry; I took a look at a few of the pages in Lisas Scraps gallery and left a couple of comments. I have to admit I don't leave very many comments on scrap book galleries unless they are in one of the challenges. I don't know how some find time to leave comments, wish I did.

Beccabooh; I will come back tomorrow and take a look at your pages. Are you a paying member of SCS? As I was under the impression that members could upload on Sundays. Maybe I am wrong.

Sharon; I am looking foreward to seeing some pages made in your new room. Maybe a scrap page with pictures of your newly decorated space.

Now back to my desk to work on/start another page. Not sure when I will post the ones I finished today. Maybe a little later.

Thanks Wendy! I had a relaxing, SCRAPPY weekend! I got 25 pages done, just need to get them uploaded to my Gallery when I get home ! Some of them need titles but all picts and embellishments in place.

Lela, I can't believe you got 25 pages done. That's unbelievable to me. never in my wildest dreams would I get even half that many done in a weekend! I'm glad you got to celebrate your birthday in a way you enjoy!

Speaking of birthdays, I finally gave the Disney Shutterfly book I had compiled of the digi-pages I created of their family trips to Disneyland to my daughter-in-law for her birthday today. (She's going to share it with her family. lol) It turned out to be 43 12x12 pages (21 double-sided pgs. + 1 single page) and she was thrilled with it. Said she wants to show it off and will take it to work! That made my day! She's not always very vocal about gifts she receives. So, it was worth all the time and effort!
