TwoFer Tuesday at Paper Issues...

It's Two-Fer Tuesday today! This month I am up on the Paper Issues blog with a new double page layout that I la la la love! I kept the design of my page pretty simple with 3.75" square photos and patterned papers.

I used the Shine line by Maggie Holmes for Crate Paper. The best thing about Maggie's lines is the abundance of embellishments! Be sure to check out all the details over on the Paper Issues blog!

Thank you so much for taking a look today! Be sure to link up your double page layouts in the January Challenge Album in order to win one of two $10 gift cards for this month! You'll need to be a member of the Paper Issues {Friends & Fans} Facebook group to play along!

Remember...

Today we are putting the spotlight on Maggie Holmes' latest collection for Crate Paper, Shine!

I had this adorable photo of my sister with her girls all pretty and pink and this line was perfect!

I kept this layout fairly simple by adding chipboard shapes and die cuts from them ephemera pack clustered around the photo! I love how it turned out!

OMG! My nieces are so cute -- I just want to squish them! I love these girls so much!

Shinning the Spotling on Maggie Holmes...

I am collaborating with few other ladies from the Paper Issues Design Team to put the spotlight on Maggie Holmes on the Paper Issues Blog today! Maggie's collections are some of my favorite and I pulled out my much coveted Open Book papers and embellishments for these gorgeous photos, taken by Ford Family Photography, of my niece in a ruffled skirt! These photos make my heart melt. I love this sweet girl!

Maggie's ephemera packs are THE BEST! They are packed full of the most awesome bits and pieces that are perfect for layering and embellishing. Every piece has adorable detail, including golf foil!

The tags from this line were probably my favorite embellishment. I love that they are pre-sewn and embellished! Makes a page go so quickly!

These photos make me so happy! I wish that all of my photos were this inspiring to scrapbook. Her little face just makes me wish she was still this tiny!

There is still some of the Open Book line in the Paper Issues shop! Be sure to grab some of the papers and embellishments before they are gone! Use the code "Becky," for 20% off your entire order + free shipping on orders of $60 or More (after discounts applied).

As we say goodbye to 2014 it's fun to look back and reflect upon the friendships, memories, good times (and bad) and get ready to welcome 2015! Here are 14 of my favorite personal highlights from 2014:

1. Getting our puppy Jaxson,

2. Learning to knit two scarves,

3. Going to Nashville and Memphis with Tracy and Kristen,

4. Spending a weekend in Napa with my sisters,

5. Our family vacation to San Diego,

6. My best friend getting married,

7. Taking Anson's 85 year old Grandmother to her first Giants game,

8. Making the Paper Issues and Color Cast Designs design teams,

9. Watching the Giants win their 3rd World Series in 5 years,

10. Leaving the firm I have worked at for 7.5 years and joining a new firm,

11. Celebrating our 4th anniversary together,

12. Spending 5 days in Palm Springs with Anson, John and Renee,

13. Finally getting a King size bed and new (read: matching!) bedroom furniture and

14. Crate training our dogs to sleep in their own beds at night rather than ours.

I also love looking back on what I created for the year and here are my 14 favorite layouts from 2014:

I used a 4x4 We R Memory Keepers album and Gramercy Road from Gossamer Blue for this album of our 2013 family photos! I love how this came out!

This layout of Connor in the hospital after breaking his arm was inspried by a Studio Calico sketch using the Neverland Scrapbook Kit.

I love this layout of baby Olivia because she looks like a piggy! I hand stitched that heart and I am very proud of it! I used the Front Row Scrapbook Kit from Studio Calico here.

Another layout inspired by a Studio Calico sketch, I used some older K & Co. papers for this cute LO of my nieces.

Walking the furkids; I love when they all line up together like this! I used Fancy Pants' collection, True Friends, for this LO!

I Love You More...

This is probably by far one of my most favorite projects of all time! I pulled everything I could find from my stash that was black and/or gold and printed my favorite photos of Anson and I from the past 4 years and went to town on this 4x4 album! This little album came together so quickly and I really got to use some of my favorite bits since the photos matched everything I had pulled. I heart B&W! I will try to make note of where product is from if I can remember (some of it is very old).
