My daughter came home from an activity a few weeks ago with a super cool folded dimensional snowflake. It was unlike anything I'd seen before. She created it by folding and cutting several pieces of paper and then gluing them together in cool patterns. I knew immediately these would be a hit with grownup kids too, so I created a few for you to cut out.

I have really been wanting to work on my Australia and New Zealand photos. It has been a daunting task to approach since I have over 2000 photos to go through. There are so many great photos that I have had a hard time just starting. I realized with the amount of photos that I have, pocket pages would be the perfect idea to use in conjunction with regular layouts. There are a number of systems out there to choose from, or you can just get basic pocket page protectors. One of the funniest memories I have of our trip was the discovery of the mailboxes out in the rural areas of Australia. At first we were confused, so we asked someone about them. Apparently, the kangaroos are able to 'break in' to the regular type mailboxes, so people get creative in ways to keep the kangaroos out.
Personal planners are all the rage right now. Many scrapbook paper companies have come out with their own version of a planner and I suspect we'll see many more released next month at CHA (Craft & Hobby Show). Scrappers are using them not only to keep track of their schedule, but also to document bits and pieces of their lives. Have you jumped on the planner bandwagon yet?
Tis the Season of traditions. This is the time of year that there seems to be so many traditions that continue and start. Some traditions only last a few years, because of the age of children, but other traditions continue for generations. What traditions do you have? Did you start a new one this season? This cutting file contains many different options for titles. You can stay with just the word Traditions or overlay it with one of those many options. You can use your pen tool in the journaling box below the photos.

Christmas is a time when precious memories are made. Most of us snap photos as a way to preserve the feeling of that special time. If you are like me you take hundreds of digital photos! But, do you ever get them off of the memory disk, print them and put them on a scrapbook page? I have to admit that it seems like I rarely get around to making the pages that I envision when I pose my family for a photo. This year, I plan to break that pattern of procrastination and get those photos printed and down on a page. In anticipation of that resolution, I have designed four different scrapbook pages for this month's Project pattern

Okay, confession time! This project ended up being a completely different concept when I got through with it. I had intended on creating a message center to keep track of calendars, menus, lists, etc. However, I had a few things happen personally over the last week or so in my family that changed the idea. The idea of having Love Notes is based on the idea that we look for positive and good things that are going on around us with our family. So many times we get caught up in the wrong or bad things others are doing that we create a negative circle in our lives. I hope with this idea and concept, we can all start to find the simplest good things we love about each other, even when it is hard.
