Project 12 - January 2011

Hello!

I've decided to join in on Scrapbook & Cards Today's Project 12!  I'd love to know if any of you are doing this as well. :)

In January 2011... let's see.. we're still living in the same apartment as when we first moved to Knoxville in August of 2009.  I turned twenty-six!  We had an indulgent birthday dinner of steak, an egg, and hash browns.  Let me assure you - we rarely eat red meat, and I guess you could describe us as half-time vegetarians. :)  Anyway, we also shared a slice of Chocolate Lover's Chocolate cake from Earth Fare - yum!

Becky Fleck of PageMaps creates special sketches for Project 12 (January sketch here), and seeing as how I love sketches, I used it to create my page.

I hand-cut the top of my journaling panel, using the Top Note die-cut as a guide.  I also cut two of these Top Notes from Baja Breeze cardstock, stamped them, and adhered them behind the journaling block.  I used a lot of items from my retired stash - always a good thing!  :)  There's also quite a bit of sewing on the layout, courtesy of my handy sewing machine.

Well, thanks for stopping by!  Have a wonderful day!
