justem: little bits of this and that

2011 in review: Favorite layouts!

This year, I made a lot of layouts...and a lot of them I actually liked. ;)  I sometimes think I have a bit of a love-hate relationship withs scrapbooking.  Because of my limited time, most of my creations are for design teams I am on.  So, I'm not just doing it because it's fun...I'm doing it because I have to.  And when you have to do something, it's actually sometimes becomes NOT fun!!  But luckily the teams I am on consistently provide me with awesome product, and I have created somethings this year that have made me very happy!  So, no particular order...here are my top layouts of 2011! :)

"Paper"mint Mocha layouts...and a coupon!

The December Midnight Rooster kit is now available! Is that not the cutest title ever??  I made three layouts this month, all of which I love love love!!  I don't even know which one to share first because I love them all!!

This yellow striped piece of paper from Pink Paislee was my favorite piece of paper at CHA summer this year. It's so simple, yet so perfect!! ;)  I was super excited to use it on this layout along with the little pops of blue and red!

This layout is so "pretty" that I can't believe I made it! ;)  The photo is one of Mirielle...wasn't she such a beautiful baby?! I also used a large EK Success butterfly punch I picked up with a coupon at Archivers awhile back.

This layout is so simple, yet I love it!!  The colors are so fun and unique! And of course there are those two handsome guys in the photo... ;)

AND...some big news! This is taken straight out  of the December newsletter:

scrappy sunday!

I have one last Midnight Rooster layout to share!  This is a photo I took this summer over the 4th of July weekend.  I still cannot get over how much Henry looks *just* like my brother Jake in this photo! I don't necessarily think they look alike on a daily basis, but something about his smile and his expression in this photo just screams "JAKE!!" to me!!

Hope you all had a great weekend.

In honor of December first...
