What am I talking about?
yep.
Really.
Me.
and you (hopefully).
and whoever else wants to take the challenge of creating one layout per week.
Not cause I'm getting paid, not because I HAVE to. Because I'm so grateful for where I've been, what I've done and all my friends and scrappy peeps that have followed through the years. Simple as that. And well, I'm just ready to scrap. Capture 2010 in a page a week.
I know the 52 thing isn't original, it's totally been done...but this is not to impress, astound...it's just about me scrapbooking. Once a week. All year. Period.
I love scrapbooking because it encompasses so many elements I LOVE. Pics of my kids and family, capturing moments and memories I would NEVER remember otherwise, working design elements and color AND of course...sharing. Don't we all love to share our stories :) Here's a peek I'll share for now...
So here's the plan...each week I'll: .
- Create a simple, 30 minute-ish :) layout- no rocket science folks, just clean, simple fresh layouts
- Jot down a few notes about it and do a blog about it on Thursdays
- Challenge you to do the same...give you a jumping off point
I'll create a spot on the blog to feature the weekly inspirations.
What else?
Am I crazy?
maybe.
But it's gonna be fun!!!
The fun starts Jan 7th. Stay tuned!
Oh fun Janna!!! I might just take you up on your challenge....give me an excuse to get my scrapbook stuff out of all the boxes and create paper memories.
After all, 52 isn't THAT many....is it? : )

This will be great! I've got so many pictures that I love that I never get around to scrapping because I'm scrapping something else. I'm going to go through my pile and get some picked out right now!

This sounds so great (and so simple that it has to be easy to accomplish). I'm on board and am so ready to get some actual scrapping done!
Posted by: Joanie | January 08, 2010 at 02:04 PM
I just stumbled upon this and it sounds perfect for me (and it also sounds like you and I are almost have the exact same weight loss goals this year.)
Can't wait to pull some paper out and get started.
