As you can see, it's the standard 5x7 trap that I always fall in to. Photo off to the side with the title on the bottom, embellishments to the left. Hopefully that will change with my scrapping goals. A long time ago, I remember distressing the edges but only did it once and forgot all about it. Tanya started to do it in the fall and Stéphanie followed suit. To have done it sooner would have implied I scrapped more than minis, cards and ATCs. I decided to jump on their bandwagon and add it to the edges of this layout.
As for my goals, can you say "spending freeze" The amount of stuff I have is nothing less than obscene. I need to create more. I want to create more. I need to focus more on layouts rather than the mini's I seem to do when I actually do something. I need to keep my space neat and tidy (how does one stop being such a messy scrapper?) so it isn't overwhelming or annoying to start a new project. My goal before I can shop again is 50 layouts (don't rub your eyes too hard. You read right) and 5 mini albums and/or projects. My only exception outside of adhesive and the occassional tool is paper - and only if I am going to use it ASAP. Not paper to just hold on too. I don't have alot so sometimes the perfect paper isn't at my disposal. I also reserve the right to purchase some yummy new Tim Holtz goodies that I know are coming in to my lss. Other than that ... 1 down, 49 to go. Anyone want to start a pool as to the date that I will be done creating these? Are you that brave? So, in a nutshell, here is are my goals:
- create more and spend more evenings in my scrap studio.
- finish the projects that just need that last bit if tweaking to be done.
- finish my 6x12 album that I started at the spring NavCan and haven't gone back to.
- Create 50 layouts and 5 mini albums and/or projects.
- Use my stash! So important.

Cute picture and beautiful LO! What a nice way to remember her blossoming interest in auntie and uncle.
I am REALLY going to have to join you in the spending freeze!! I like your idea of setting a number of projects to do/complete before purchasing anything new. I am on board!
Good luck with your goal Mel ... you'll feel so good using up some of your stash, I promise! Gorgeous layout ... I don't care if you have a formula you follow ... it works!!!
Oh wow, I'm soooooo impressed. FIFTY?! I'll be here cheering you on. :)
And yes, I'm on a spending freeze too. Not for quite the same reasons... but because I have no space left for anything.
And no, I have no idea how one becomes a less messy scrapper. If you happen upon the secret, please share with me.
She is another cutie. Great picture. I am loving the inked edges. Another beautiful layout.
Good luck with all your goals. I know I should keep mine as well. Hopefully this will be the year that I do. lol
