My Fav 14 pages in the year 2014

in no particular order....

Fun Halloween page.........

Sam's first Halloween. And I got to use my monkey die cut.

Not much call for it ordinarily. LOL.

 Love that I completed this printer tray collage

it was a lot of fun to do - scary at first.

But I went wayback through some old scrapbook magazines

and this was a page that I dogeared.

I always looked at the mags for inspiration and

its kinda of a bummer there are hardly any remaining.

 Used a handwritten title which is unusual for me.

Which is dumb because while I use those premade EK Success

word thingys which aren't perfect, why do I obsess over my handwriting.

 Worked in that straw..........

and on a beach page.

This was a color challenge for OTR.

 Another page out of the ashes  (or garbage can) LOL!

Again, a goofy disconnect that once thought about was taken

care of with the smearing of watercolors.

 Baseball fans.......

Doesn't ledger paper make you swoon.

Especially for a baseball page.

 One of my tutorials over at OTR.

It was the banners - noticing ordinary things AND

writing them in a notebook.

To use later when you're braindead for ideas.

 This was a lot of fun...5 photos on an 8x8.

I love that the photos told a story.

A collaboration of brothers on an important project.

Which was top secret.

 A page using one of those prebuilt tags I made.

I really had a great time making and using all those tags.

It took awhile and an awareness to purposely use them.

I find tags with stuff on them hard to incorporate in pages.

However, they worked out really well.

So well, I may do it again.

 My entry for Avacado DT - didn't make it but love the page.

I had a lot of fun and used their stamps which were

perfect for the page.

I find it difficult to get some stamps on a page and cards

which was probably why I wasn't picked.

 Finally used that bingo card I have forEVER.

I had played around with it with some tea dye paint and

it sat around for a long time before I figured things out.

 Love girly.........

and used stencils, watercolors and everything.

Love the picture of my grown boy painting his kidlet's toes.

 Fun camping with my favorite youngest son.

We had a great visit just hanging out.

 Challenged myself to make an all white page.

Because I could.

Do you know how many shades of white there are....

A HAPPY AND BLESSED NEW YEAR TO ALL!!!
