Prizes Arrive!!!

If you recall, I was recently a part of an adhesive product survey. I got to try out 2 different adhesives for a week each and then gave them my opinion in a short survey. At the end, I filled out a 3rd survey and now....

The goodies have arrived!! Six different adhesives from Tombow, plus a Glue Pen, a white Gel Pen, a set of pens/markers and a Visa Gift Card. (I just knew that those adhesive products in the survey had been from Tombow!!!)
Of course, Mom & I had JUST been out to Michael's today to purchase adhesive, as I was about out of it!! Our monthly crop is this weekend and all of my stickys will be handy!!

Pages 203 & 204

I had to search and try and try again trying to find a color palette that complimented the photos and the occasion! It was December, the tree was up, but it was not "Christmas", we were wearing alot of reds and blues... Finally found these blues, with a winter theme and that worked pretty good.

Again, got to use up some more old stickers that have been hanging around my craft room waaayyy too long!

These are from a visit out to Steph's during December. The quote fit the page/people/etc...

Pages 201 & 202

Used up some more stickers that I have had for waaay too long! Didn't photograph it, but the journaling block lifts up and has another pic. under it.

Inked the edges of the white paper w/ a dark green ink.

WOW! Can you believe it??? Over 200 pages now!

Check It Out

Earlier in the week I updated this blog and added 5 or 6 pages. When I was finished, I did the ol' "view blog" and then had to check out the map and see who & where people were at who were looking at it. I had all of these just while I was posting!!

Can you believe the countries listed??? Occasionally I get a comment from one of them too. Kind of neat, but a little bit freaky too.

Pages 199 & 200

YEAH! I have reached the 200 mark!! WOWZERS!!!

Page 198

I normally make the facing pages match or at least co-ordinate, but this time it just was not working out. I tried many different color combinations and nothing was just right for both sets of photos. So, today it will just have to be different.

Page 197

Found this page idea on Smilebox, I think. Copying it for a scrapbook page is called 'scraplifting', and is considered a compliment by most of us.

Page 196

Gonna try using a side opening this time. We'll see how that works out with the page protector...

My papers coordinate for this page and the facing one, but the photos are 2 different topics.

Page 195

This is a single page, but the facing page is done on similar papers in order for it to look more cohesive. They do have different embellishments tho. These are a puffy type bear stickers. Not sure where or when I got them ,but they are perfect for this type page. The large stuffed bear on her left was mine (from her Daddy) from one of our dating Valentine's. I have had it in her crib from the beginning. She snuggles with it occasionally, also uses it to boost herself up a bit higher when she thinks she'd like to climb out...

Pages 193 & 194

Haven't used diagonal cut or torn paper in ages. Thought I'd try it out again.

Pages 191 & 192

Christmas Dress #4

Pages 189 & 190

Here are the 12 pages I completed at last Sat. Crop. This page had no room for journaling on the page, so it has a lg. journaling tag with fibers attached that will slip behind the page. You pull on the fibers and it slides out to read.

So very glad that I am still ahead of the game, as I have been in a bit of a slump this past month! Have almost run out of printed photos and haven't had too much gumption or get-up & go to get busy and get more done.
