This Noteworthy kit was so pretty that I couldn’t file away, so I whipped this layout out just today! I really had no intentions of scrapbooking but got inspired this morning! I took the other half of the Artisan die cut paper and the flocked alphabet stickers along with some cardstock, pattern paper, and ribbon I already had, and before I knew it, it was done. It all came together so quickly I think I surprised myself! So, don’t file away your scraps of your next project and whip out another layout! It’s like getting two for one!

If you look closely, you’ll see that I used all my t’s in “The Cutest Graduate” layout, so I had to make a “t” out of an “f” in the word “favorite.” So, don’t be discouraged if one letter you need is missing.

I also completed an additional layout with my Noteworthy scraps. I did not finish my journaling but still wanted to share my layout.

If you’re like me, you are working on scrapbooking photos from one or two years in the past. My strategy for this is to find similar photos and events from previous years and scrapbook them simultaneously. For example, right now I am working on scrapbooking Christmas photos from 2006 and 2007. All the paper and embellishments are already out so it is easier to find and coordinate everything I need for multiple layouts. You will complete several layouts and feel caught up all at the same time!

One more bonus tip for 2008. If you haven’t started one already, start a scrapbooking journal. My journal inspires the journaling I do on each layout when capturing memories from the more distant past. I keep mine as a Word document on the computer but you can easily keep a journal in your purse or diaper bag. I usually write in my journal every few days to document things that are going on in our life—big events like the first day of school, birthdays and holidays are always documented but so are random little things that I do not want to forget.

If you have ideas that help you get caught up, send us an email and we will share the best ones. This is the year to get caught up.

All the best for 2008! Here is to a great new year of scrapbooking.

One technique tip for this kit. If you do run out of a particular letter, modify and an existing letter. For example, if you run out of the capital letter “L”, take a capital letter “E” and cut out the first two lines of the “E” to make an “L”.

Baby Girl #2 kit will be available mid-January. This kit will feature beautiful papers from Chatterbox. Baby Boy #2 will be released early February. This kit will include amazing paper from Crate Paper. Stay tuned for details.
