Way back in the good old days I used to digi scrap.
I also used to design digi scrap stuff. I even have my own little patch of shop front at pickleberrypop.com. Then life got in the way and I suddenly found myself with no time and no motivation to scrap, or design. I really want to get back into the swing of things though, so I’ve set myself a little goal….
Once a Month Scrapping
I’m going to scrap at least one page every month. It’s not going to be anything special. It doesn’t have to use my best photos, or be perfect. I’m not going to beat myself up if I get a little behind now and then. I just have to do it, scrap a monthly round up page.
So today is the last day of the month and here is my January lay-out!
And here is a freebie with the papers and a few bits and pieces I used to make my lay-out.
You can download it from 4shared here.
One month done – so far so good!
If you are like me and can’t make it past day 9 of Project 365 and even the idea of project 52 seems way too daunting, maybe you can join me in this once a month challenge! I’d love to see what you scrap!

Great idea Kate! I am going to join you in the one layout a month project, though have no time today for a January layout so will either do two next month or will count the book labels as a LO ;)
Gorgeous page!

I really want to join you in this – downloaded your freebie, thank you, and started a layout! I’m so busy though, but I needed some downtime from everything else and just scrap a bit! Will show you when I’m done!

I guess I missed it since 4shared said I have an invalid link. Thanks for the opportunity to grab it though. Love your idea of doing 1 page a month. Your LO is great and good inspiration.

Good for you! I’m attempting (again) the 365 challenge. I’m missing days, but I’m not stressing about it. What does give me a little pause though, is actually getting those pics on a page…before I forget what I took them for! :) Good luck on month 2!
