this weekend, i created some layouts for the "year of you" class that robyn is teaching over at 2peas. i've been taking lots more photos this year than i did last year … so i loved the idea of taking a handful of those photos from january and creating a layout. i loved robyn's layout for the class … great colors and design. so i pretty much scraplifted her's from top to bottom.

ok, i guess mine is a little simpler. i didn't add all the little touches of stamping, stitching, etc. i love all that on her layouts … but i'm more of a lazy scrapper when you get right down to it. lol! found these old metal mailbox letters from making memories that i used for my title … my original idea was chipboad. and i cut the "09" with my slice.

when i was printing these photos (along with one from my last layout) … i didn't have enough room on my sheet to fit the large 5×5 photo. so i had to start a new sheet. you know how that goes … then i had to add more photos to print because i didn't want to waste any photo paper … or end up with a half sheet or anything. so i figured i might as well print some photos of the daycare kids and do a "year of you" layout about them too. this layout is 9×9 in size.

    Awesome! I love when you get all those photos on a layout. I have shifted away from doing layouts with only one picture on them (I occassionally still do them),so I love when I come across these that get a bunch of photos down at one time. Thanks for the inspiration.

    Awesome layout! I saw the challenge class at 2ps and was planning on doing something … and I love what you did for both layouts. I’m so happy when people aren’t afraid to do two similar layouts. It gives me courage to do it myself 🙂
    Thank you for commenting on my archiving questions! I really appreciate your input and it was VERY helpful!

    Funny thing … I just noticed your banner. I usually read your blog in Google Reader so I don’t see people’s blog layouts – just the posts. But, to comment I had to come to the site … and I have that RF kit, too! I love what you did. So simple and pretty 🙂

    Girl…I love these layouts! They look so so fabulous! Love how you ‘simplified’ my layout a bit – and I love how you used those MM mailbox letters – those were always a fav of mine. Love both of them! So glad you did them!! Huge hugs!!

    Great layouts! Love them. How do you like the slice? I’d like to get one, but can’t justify spending the money right now. Thought about putting it on my wishlist for a b-day gift.
