SCRAPY LAND'S "FAB FOUR"...

Resolutions projects - day two.

And today is Lara's turn.

Lara also decided to make a scrapbook page to showcase her 2010 Resolutions. She tweaked it just a bit by making them more goal-like instead of resolve-like.

I love it!

Lara decided "baby steps" would be best for 2010. {I tend to agree with her} We just need to make sure she knows that her first quarter goals will need to be done by the end of March, not the end of April - LOL! {Sorry hon, couldn't resist!}

Love the layers on this page...clouds and flowers and vines and journaling. Super dimension and lots of interest for the eye. She used: QK Yogurt (2010), QK Aquarius (did I miss 2009?), Cloud border, Vine border with some Green Copic shading, Revolution Flower and an Exclusive "sparkle" for her flower centers, but these snowflakes would give you kind of a similar look!

Here is close-up peek at how she cut her QK Vine from medium colored green, but then amped it up a bit with some darker green Copic inks. Love the depth it gives the shadows of this vine. And what a great technique to leave the centers of the leaves in the center. Looks fab!

And did you notice that she cut out multiple QK Cloud borders? Some go one way, and some go the other way...but she used my little "edge rolling" tip that I showed you back in December. It makes all the clouds look "right side up". Each cloud she edged with pen-stitches drawn with her American Crafts Memory Markers {in Cherry Red, Chestnut Brown and Marine Blue}.

As for her journaling...

she did this on her computer, easy enough. But what I love is how she put the blue "mat" behind one of the cloud borders and tucked her journaling behind a different cloud border. LOVE those kinds of fun layers tricks. Looks great and makes things not quite so "expected". ADORABLE!

So those are our two Resolution "pages". Thanks Veronica and Lara. Great pages indeed. And it looks like we can expect a "quarterly update page" from Lara come April. {or May, if we go by her quarters!! LOL...again, couldn't resist!} The next two posts will be projects. EmmBee and Lolly were up to their elbows - die-cutting, coloring, inking and gluing. Seriously - prepare to be inspired by some more great ideas.

We aim to please everyone here on the Scrapy Land blog. Resolution Pages for page-lovers, and Resolution Projects for project-lovers.

I think I'm going to make Resolution Cupcakes for cupcake-lovers. {LOL!}

Leave Lara some comment-love...just don't tease her about messing up the 2010 "quarters". It's an honest mistake...and I think I did enough of that!

I'm here for your habit...
