The Layout A Day challenge is long over, but that doesn't mean I've ceased my scrapbook pages output. Here are some selections from February and March 2008. Admittedly, my output has plummeted from the crazy days of making one finished page per day. But it's good to create as the spirit moves me, and to have the confidence to do it more often.

The Layout A Day Challenge has come to an end at Big Picture Scrapbooking. The objective was to create one layout per day through the month of January. I succeeded in keeping page with the daily requirement. These are the final 3 layouts (out of 31).

I didn't list this as a goal for 2008 explicitly, but somewhere in my head I was intending to "scrapbook more" throughout the coming year. Yeah, about that. I kinda meant "2 layouts a month" or something. Instead, I got sucked into the LOAD Challenge at Big Picture Scrapbooking. The objective is to create one layout per day through the month of January. Since I can barely pat my butt with both hands scrapbooking-style as it is, this was quite a bit to take on "cold". Nevertheless, Mar and I constantly refer to the scrapbooking side of our craft room as the "embarrassment of riches". It's time to attack the stash and see what I can come up with. Maybe even use some of the Neat Stuff we've socked away. These are the first 7 layouts (out of 31).

As any jaunt through the Interesting and Notable Layouts feature in this section will soon affirm, I'm not very good at scrapbook layouts. I do "OK" work, but in a nutshell, I'm very set in my ways and everything strikes me as the same old, same old. Same linear approach, same matted [something], same painted chipboard lettering, sigh. Considering the embarrassment of riches that is our craft room, one would imagine I'd make all of those tools and supplies sing, man. Mmmm, I'm slowly getting there. In the meantime, I needed something of a confidence booster before tackling the next project (and the next). Here's what finally emerged from my work space:
