I WON A QK SILHOUETTE

I won this new Toy.

I belong to a monthly Qk Club we do a little project and get a die and a discount on all the QK dies anyhoo they had a drawing for this last month. I sat next to a lady named Valerie we chatted and we made jokes when we went in the circle about winning her and I. Well when they called the name there was 24 people eligble for it.. and Valerie won it.. Well she tried it out and says she doesn't have a lap top and that she didn't feel she would utilize it and asked the Scrapbook owner for my number and says she wanted to GIVE.. it to me.. Yes give.. I am still in aw.. She is a total stranger she was very nice and we did laugh a lot there.. I never expected this . I get to pick it up after my trip. She is leaving it there for me.. I'm still in shock.. I'm not a techno person... She says it's easy to use she just won't use it and wanted me to have it.. YIPPEE..

I can't wait to try it out.... I'm so excited...

Finally used some Basic Grey Infuse

Wow the month is going by so quick.. I hope to have 31 projects or so.. hahahah or so.ya.. by month's end.. Will see what happens plus I have a recipe swap i still need to finish.. Am I in over my head this month..NOT.> Those old pictures so need to crawl out of crates and m y stash needs to get used something fierce... I have to keep going so I have been doing good since january as you see below

More completed pages.. I'm trying to be Focused

This was a challenge to use Basic Grey

Glitter, Bling, Title
Brads n Buttons

I've been using Focus a lot this last couple weeks.. One focus is trying to get the older pictures I have scrapped as well as ones that have been taken.. so that is a really big thing for me this year to start scrapping older photos get them out of the buckets drawers and crates ...

Here is a couple more that I did plus it's a little more challenging cause I am working on challenges with some of them..

Need some more mojo if I want to finish challenges

This is the multiphoto challenge five or more photo's that was way out of my box but glad I did it.. took care of a lot of photos.
This was to use fiber
This simply is to use flowers which is always easy to use.

I want to do at least 31 projects this month weather they be layouts or cards and layouts. I'm off to a slow start.. I have some challenges completed.. Yesterday I wanted to scrap and had lots of housework to do..then today I woke up with a migraine so had to lay down but got something done.. Have to keep working to my goal.

HAPPY NEW YEAR 2008.. THE TICKER IS STARTING ALONG WITH CHALLENGE MONTH FOR JANUARY

Have circle in your layout challenge Scrapyourself that's really tough on me. This is when I went to Alaska in july
A layout with hearts and flowers

WOW..It's really here.. 2008.. I have set a goal to do 250 projects ( I won't beat myself up if that doesn't get done) just thought I set some sort of goal to push myself to get my photo's in books I have so so many then there is 2008 where I will of course be taking more photos... so between layouts, recipes,cards, projects (i only count trades as one) I will hope to get that done.

I have started today and I'm hoping for 31 projects in January to start off the scrappy year but you never know..Sometimes the mojo goes...

So here is a start I am following some challenges at a couple places so will see what I get done.
