resolutions documented with daily diary.

happy happy new years eve everyone!
wow! just like that 2015 is over.
i cannot believe that 2016 is only hours away.
a fresh NEW year. sounds exciting doesn't it?


so, for my last and final instalment for 2015....and the december daily diary kit i created a fun 'resolution' spread in my album.  how perfect are those foil numbers?  


true to my style, and how i love to change it up, you will notice again i used a lot of the elements both inside and outside my pocket pages. it's fun to change it up.

i added some simple typed journaling about my resolution and thoughts regarding the new year onto a 4x6 piece of white card stock.


i then added a scrap of 6x6 paper i had from the kit onto the edge to create  fun border.  i absolutely LOVED this star paper from this months kit.  so i used it not only as a 3x4 pocket card, but i also used my star punch to create some star embellishments from it.  i used my sewing machine to adhere them to the side. love the dimension.


i also loved using the sequin embellishments from the kit onto my spreads this month. how EASY are they to use first off....and second, they look so cute on pages.  a little bit of sparkle, added texture. such a great embellishment.  again, another favourite this month.


i am so happy i took some time to document this special time of year.  it is always neat to look back and reflect once the year has passed.  it is also nice to write down a focus, or intention you want to bring forward.  i really pray 2016 is a really good year.  

happiest new year to all of you. may it be a year of blessings!

Resolutions Pocket Page with Mistletoe & Holly

Hello Everyone! Hope you all had a great Holiday and enjoyed your time with family and friends. Now that Christmas is behind us, it's time to look forward to the New Year. This week the Design Team is focusing on Resolutions with our projects. I used December's "Mistletoe & Holly" Daily Diary Kit to create my Resolution themed page. This page is photoless and focuses on my goals for next year as well as a few of my FAV memories from this year. The pocket page cards in this month's kit fit perfectly with our theme this week. This page is quite simple and I love it! I love changing the page designs so my pages aren't always heavy on embellishments! Here's the whole page ...
I removed the paper flower centers and added my own embellishments. (The gold paper flower is from a previous Noel Mignon Kit, doilies are from my stash)
I love pocket cards that are perfect for lists. It makes journaling so easy!
Here's my last few cards ...
Stay tuned for more Resolution-themed projects from the DT this week. Let's see what your resolutions are for the New Year! Have a great week!
