top five papercrafting projects of 2015

all time favorite card.  there is much more to this one than what you see in this photo.  see the rest of the story HERE.

i worked with a5 filofax style planner inserts from cocoa daisy from january through august of this year.  looking at this makes me realize why people switch around and use multiply styles of planners.  this was so fun!  i want to do it again!  ack!

 favorite mini this year.  you can see the interior pages in this video.

i absolutely adore my daisydoris.  of course, this month with the kitties had to be my favorite.  meow!

my very first ever hobonichi doodle.  really looking forward to working on this project in 2016.

top five project life pages of 2015

 i mean, the foot silhouette on the PL card!  ha!

old school "love, elsie aka a beautiful mess"

cute coin pockets.

pockets and a layout.

wait!  that's not a PL page, is it?  ;)

top five layouts of 2015

it was really hard to pick five favorites from my layouts this year.  in the end i almost randomly chose them from the ones that really made me feel sentimental.  looking back at my year in paper has made me realize how much i really love this craft.  there is such an emotional connection with scrapbooking.

cocoa daisy: flirt

there is a lovely love theme in the january cocoa daisy kits, perfect for my parents' 60th wedding anniversary photos.  my dad has become quite the flirt.  ;)

christmas in florida

it wouldn't be christmas morning without me taking some horrible photos.  it's become a tradition.  i kind of like them now.  they're part of our holiday history.

i was especially tickled with how my sister perched her gifts on the couch right behind g's head.  that made for a great composition.

uncle jim got g a a camping survival shovel.  papa said he carried one just like it in korea only it was a little bigger.

 this is my favorite christmas morning photo.  classic papa.

this is the only photo i dare show of my niece and sister.  my niece specifically told me not to take her picture and my sister was still in her jammies (as was i, but i had the camera - ha!).

i think gma was a little jealous of all g's mega candy.

 my baby still gets legos from santa.  aaaaaaaaaaaaaawwwwwwwwww . . . :)

we had lunch at my sister's house, so i got to see my beautiful brown eyed nieces again.

i took 20 photos of my brother in law and his puppies.  he is well trained and knows to keep his eyes on the camera while waiting for his kids to do the same.

showing off their new shoesies.

my sister is collecting quite an impressive collection of christmas yard art.  fun times.  ;)

cocoa daisy: lots of project life pages

i cranked through my april project life pages with the january cocoa daisy ditl kit.  april is done!  hoping to finish march soon and then do another flip through video.  i'm into videos lately.  :)

north florida: backyard in winter (p.m.)

my feet really were not presentable, but i could not resist airing them out in the 70 degree weather.  but my goodness, that leaf!  the fire ants made me pay for my barefoot indiscretion.  my toes itched all the way back to tennessee.
