I’m continuing with the theme begun back in 2020 – an album title page and one layout per month. The title page still needs to be created, but the page for January is ready to go into the album. There was a lot to chose from, but I settled on The Boy beginning work experience. … Continue reading Scrapbooking in 2023 | January
There are still quite a few weeks to wait before my solo adventure in New York City, but that hasn't stopped me from beginning to put my Traveler's Notebook together. 🙂 All the journaling/filler cards are from In a Creative Bubble, patterned paper from Doodlebug Design and embellishments are from my stash.

I am both enjoying redoing the pages of our 2009 album and becoming slightly misty-eyed when looking at photos of The Boy as a toddler. 🙂 Here's a look at a then and now: Did you notice that only three photos from the original layout made it onto the new version?

I drew around an upturned pasta bowl and layered the embellishments, leaving space for … Continue reading Scrapbooking in 2022 | This Year’s Album | December and Closing Page

Using the Elizabeth Line, he has to be able to get himself to and from two different locations, in parts of West London he is wholly unfamiliar with. The design is one I tweaked … Continue reading Recording 2022’s One Little Word | Redefine | December

Storage for albums remains at a premium, so I’m continuing the theme of one layout for each month this year – 12 in 23 – and One Little Word spreads. Any travels will … Continue reading Scrapbooking in 2023 | The Goals
I’ve noted all my numbers this month, more out of habit than anything else. I seem to have run out of enthusiasm for making a Project Life style scrapbook page, so I’m simply going to record them here. Let's see what the numbers made of December. 37 walks with Tilly 15 Step classes via YouTube 30 sessions of … Continue reading Month in Numbers | December 2022
