Layout time

So if you didn't already know, I'm a huge fan of Sweet Shoppe Designs.  Well,

they kicked off 2010 with a new challenge system - it's called
 Sweet Shoppe Porfolio.  It's got a ton of inspiring ideas to get you
scrapping.  For each one you do you get a certain amount of points.
Points earned are good towards a discount to the store.  The best
part is that you get to pick what challenges inspire you!  I really like it.
I have 18 points so far this month. 

I'm also participating in Log Your Memory.  I have the bound version
of the book.  I can record every day moments and such to later 'jog my

 memory' and help me scrap. 

Here are some of my layouts from the past month (it's been awhile since

 I shared any - so there are quite a few!):

I really loved creating this page - it was so much fun!  And if you know me, I love

my Nascar!

Journaling reads: There would be no stopping me. As soon as the green flag drops I'd be off. I'd pass you sitting in the stands or the infield faster than you could say "Jimmie's reign is over!" The checkered flag would be mine. My driver would even do a flip instead of a burnout, baby!

This layout was if I could live anywhere, it would be.... Another layout for my

Book of Me.  This has been probably one of the most fun layouts I have had

designing in a long time!

Journaling read:

I saw this little saying one day when I opened a snack-sized box of raisins for Anthony. I had never heard it before and immediately wrote it down. I look back at it occasionally, especially when I need a reminder that feeling good about myself will make those around me feel good too. If they know I do my best and try my hardest, they too will do the same. Back in 2007, I lost about 30 pounds. I remember feeling like I was on top of the world. I know that Chris was very proud of me. Unfortunately, I gained all of it back and then some when I was pregnant with Anthony. I have been struggling to lose the weight over the last year and a half. I look back to this little raisin box thought on occasion to remind myself that if I try my hardest, I know that one day (hopefully sooner than later) I’ll feel that same “on top of the world” feeling I felt a few years ago.

This layout will be fun to look at in a few years and see how my thoughts

have changed throughout the day.

Lastly, this page is going to be fun to look at too - it's part of the portfolio

challenge and every month we get to scrap what it looks like outside from

the same perspective/view.  I love seeing the seasons change.

Dani Mogstad - Chill Out

Oh and one more thing - I saw a link to Sugar Frog Fonts late last week and had to check it out.  Your handwriting made into a font for you for FREE.  I love FREE stuff.  Did I say it was FREE?  Anyway, I had mine made and you can go HERE to download my font!   It's SF Jackie.  :) :)

So anyway, thanks for looking.  Happy Scrapping!
