Personal Challenge

I decided to give myself a personal challenge - which I gotta tell you
I am not really good at. I have a hard time keeping to things.
But I know this will make me happy if I can complete it...
I want to try and scrapbook 1 page a week - that's really not much right?
Imagine if I can get a page a week for one year - that'll be 52 new scrapbook pages to
be proud of come Christmas 2012...So here is my first page - that I did last week

This is a page I made from our recent trip to Oregon over Thanksgiving break 2011
I titled it A DREAM REALIZED
because that is where I DREAM of moving in a few years.

I printed my photos in 3 x 5 size so that I could add a bunch of different
snap shots from our trip...


A little bit of all the different things we did - which I have embedded in my mind
and are things I look forward to living by someday.  I love a page with lots of photos.
But I gotta tell you sometimes one PERFECT photo can be enough too....


O.k. week 1 done...

I am linking this up to the following parties:

have a great day!

Hi Tina. I hope you are encouraged as you start out on this journey of scrapping more regularly. It is such a blessing to look back at all that's been realized over the year. Thank you for playing along with us over at Scrapping Everyday Miracles. Your layout is just perfect for the challenge.

Thanks for joining in our challenge Tina! I love how you fit all the photos on there and I especially like the bird embellie (I'm partial to birds, lol). Good luck with your scrapping goal - it's a worthy one. =)

I love the grid on your layout... and the bird is the perfect touch... I did the same thing I traveled to Chester England and realized that is where I wanted to live... so I share a similar dream realized... it might be a while until I could move to Chester but none the less I love thinking about God hopefully bringing me there someday. Thanks for joining us over at SEM....

Your layout is just beautiful. I tend to scrap at least several photos at a time too, sometimes many more than several! I think you did a great job with the page. Thank you for playing along with us over at SEM!
