    I know its too early for New Year's resolutions but I've been thinking about what I would like to do more of scrapping wise next year.

    I would like to scrap about me more, as I don't do it at all now. One of my CT members scraps about herself often and I think it such a wonderful thing her children will have from her.

    Also I am going to conquer my fear of patterned papers. I love layouts with patterned papers but I can't seem to use them myself, so I am going to tackle them next year

    Does anyone else have a list of things they want to do next year scrapping wise?

    I like the pp one...I have such a problem with pp. It just looks so bad when I try to use it! lol

    But my main resolution for next year is to make every LO meaningful. No more pretty CT pages that mean nothing to me when I look back at them.

    Scrapping more than 20 layouts a year. This year I did 12 layouts and only. There are almost four months I do nothing, but I am so busy and mojo isn't near me. I did only a few pages this year, but I love each one of them, they are all my favorites in some way.

    I think for me will be to just keep doing what I do. I'm happy with the pages I'm creating... but I think I want to put a little more effort into doing challenges. I find when I do a challenge, it helps me create a page that is slightly more interesting than ordinary for me and really helps capture a part of me or my family that I wouldn't otherwise have scrapped about. :)

    oooh, good question Kaye! I want to do more hybrid layouts next year, and less procrastination starting layouts, I always hate that part, and end up wasting a lot of time surfing the net instead.

    I really want to get a blog going. And be a little more honest with myself on what I can handle time wise. That is my word for 2010 "honest." No so much with others, but more about with myself. Maybe publish more too. But only maybe. LOL

    Good idea for this :) I've always wanted to be published in a paper magazine and I will be in March of 2010 so I guess that counts for next year

    I made that resolution for 2009 and it really made a difference in how I feel about my pages. I'm about a year behind on printing, so I printed my 2008 pages a few months back and a lot of them I'm very "meh" about. But when I look through my 2009 pages I love them all (for the most part, I've still done some "I love this product and I just have to use it on something" pages LOL - those happen)

    In answer to the original question, my 2010 resolution will be to *continue* to scrap meaningful pages, and late this year I've gotten into scrapping more "everyday nonsense" sorts of pages and I really like those, because my "everyday nonsense" changes from year to year and I like to look back on it. So I want to do more of that next year. But mostly, I'd just like to get my mojo back consistently and stop overthinking everything. I'm such a dork about that.

    Oh these are all fantastic resolutions!! And I share many of them.

    Especially the "scrap meaningful" resolution, and trying to ditch the overthinking. I also want to scrap more AAM pages. And I venture to actually do a two pager.

    with both my kids in college a lot of photo opportunities have really diminished.

    my resolution is two part

    1 - finish series i have already started (for instance, the play my daughter was in 2008, my son's graduation 2006, my birthday cruise from 2004,etc)

    2 - go back and start scrapping 18 years ago and move forward

    I don't have any resolutions, but I really adore personal layouts, about your family, yourself or sth. related on you. That there's a "relationship" to every page...not only scrapping for CTs, scrap for yourself WITH the Cts...sounds crazy*lol* :giggle

    My resolution is sort of along the meaningful line, but for me, since I scrap as more of a creative outlet than a memory keeper, I want to really love my pages, and not do them "just" because its a CT page. I want to actually slow down a bit and not do a speed scrap sort of thing.

    I also want to up my photography :)

    I hope to scrap more on a regular basis. (Not sure how long Jacque will tolerate me making finger puppets for my CT requirements :lol2.)

    I need to keep track of my pages in some sort of organized manner. Like keep track of what I've printed. Right now I have no idea. I'd also like to have Shutterfly books ready to go or at least easy to put together for when I get some awesome coupon.

    And, really, 2010 IS the year I will scrap calendar pages month by month. No more scrambling at the end of the year. :disagree
