Goodbye 2012

My favorite part of New Year's eve is to reflect on the past year. My word and goal for 2012 was "Create".  And I feel I did a lot of "Creating" this year. I started an Etsy shop to sell my handmade jewelry and even though I have only sold one item I am still proud of the accomplishment. Tiny Human and I completed several craft projects. I taught myself to crochet. And my biggest creative success is being on Let's Scrap Design team. And my scrapbook is proof of all the memories that have been created all year long.

Here is a list of my top 12 blog posts of 2012:
1. Toddler Finger Painting Project
2. Homemade Moose Costume
3. 2 Birds With 1 Stone(Layout)
4. Cinnamon Ornaments
5. 1st Contest Entry
6. Crochet Scarf
7. 1st Day Home
8. Creative Scrappers
9. DIY Finger Paints
10. Life is Grand With You
11. Dandelion Tote Tutorial
12. Dress for Success

I'm pleased that the list is almost 1/2 scrap booking related and 1/2 craft projects. I would like to thank my 7 followers for reading my posts and following Crafting and Scrapping! Wishing all of you a blessed and happy New Year.

Cinnamon Ornament Layout

I can't believe this will most likely be my last layout of 2012! Wow did the year fly by. The sketch I used is this week's from Let's Scrap. I liked how fun and simple it was. Perfect for Cinnamon Ornaments that the Tiny Human and I made. The pictures don't show the crazy frustration that comes with doing crafts with a toddler. But all in all we had a great time and provided excellent scrapping material.

The tree paper I've had in my stash for ever, not sure of the brand. The Christmas Polk-a-dot paper, red card stock and white card stock are from "The Paper Studio". The flower stickers are K&Company.

 The red present washi tape is Studio G. I found it in the $1 section of scrapping supplies at Wal-mart. This was the first time I've used washi tape and I'm hooked. The other DT members at Let's Scrap are always talking about it so I decided to give it a go.

Thanks for stopping by and I will see you next year :)

It's Your Day

Happy Friday!

 

I'm having so much fun making cards lately! I like the personal touch of sending a homemade card opposed to the store bought ones. Now if I could become as witty as Hallmark :) This card is another take on this week's sketch at Let's Scrap. It's a Birthday card for my sister. I tried to capture some of the colors of Christmas without making it a Christmas card.
