October layouts

Two for my racing album:

And the rest:

 This ornament page is the one that I completed my 2014 in 2014 challenge with. Now, one of the rules was that you could make up your own rules, and I did not count purchases against my total, nor did I include items I sold or gave away in my total. Those pretty much cancel each other out, in terms of number. I've still spent less than what I brought in.

 

2014 in 2014 count: 2014+  :)

It also put a dent in my 50 projects total.

50 Layout Challenge, weeks 41-44

week 41

week 42

week 43
This is the week where I thought I might switch to digital scrapbooking, but then Rick said that he wondered if the enjoyment for me wasn't more the process than the output, and he must have been speaking to my self conscious, because for the next 2 days all I could think about and dream about was paper scrapbooking, but in 12x12. So for fun I decided to do 2014 as a 12x12 scrapbook to see if I like it.

week 44
One of the nice things about the 12x12 experiment is that I can use "framed" and full page design paper and try scraplifting some online layouts and kits a little easier. This was a Paisley and Polka Dots kit that sold out almost immediately. If it were still for sale I would have gotten it, but as it was I had most of the paper in my stash.

They seriously color boosted the photo, because none of the papers are this bright in real life.

Since I had several of the embellishments for this line, I added in some die cuts and some flair.

 

Only 6 weeks left :)

I had completed the 2014 in 2014 Challenge and the 50 Project challenge in here, but am posting out of order, lol.

For the 50 project challenge, I also counted things like uploading and ordering pics, setting up my Christmas scrapbooking station, setting up the bases for Terri and my December albums, sorting and putting away prints, putting layouts in to albums, etc. All projects, layout/cards or not, that were on my to do list counted.
