Now is your chance to turn those thoughts into reality.<br /><br />I’<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">ve</span> found this project especially rewarding for three main reasons:<br /><br />1) Every time you add a new page to your album, you are inspired to accomplish something else—to experience something else.<br /><br />2) How cool would it be to leaf through a book containing all of your major accomplishments? So cool and very empowering. Everyone should feel empowered by their own achievements.<br /><br />3) I can’t think of a better way to really share who you are with friends, children, and grandchildren than through the goals you set and what you have accomplished.<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg1xgh_1HVGMj-IAqTHHYPh4Cm6ztmzuh7VDkZMYF5rWbj5w9nasE0H8o0uO1NR5KyaVnDipsSanpBzHqAbOJztpAg_vuIStEPxE4JO1CcESZy7iI4cKvu2f7O0GXAldQVo68gKysbebn7s/s1600-h/2010+Scrapbook+2.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5424443864507850690" style="WIDTH: 181px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 180px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg1xgh_1HVGMj-IAqTHHYPh4Cm6ztmzuh7VDkZMYF5rWbj5w9nasE0H8o0uO1NR5KyaVnDipsSanpBzHqAbOJztpAg_vuIStEPxE4JO1CcESZy7iI4cKvu2f7O0GXAldQVo68gKysbebn7s/s200/2010+Scrapbook+2.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><span style="color:#996633;">Getting Started </span><span style="color:#996633;"><br /></span>If you haven’t started <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">scrapbooking</span>,<br />the beginning of the year is the<br />perfect time to begin and this is<br />the perfect project.<br /><br /><span style="color:#000000;">1</span> Get a fresh album and customize it like <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">Stampin</span> Up did on their 2010 Goals album.<br />Dedicate the album to the upcoming year.<br /><br />2 Think about things you’d really like to do and then write down several things to accomplish this year either individually or as a family. Make a page out of this list, and insert it into the album you created. Ten or twelve goals for the year would work out to be almost one goal each<br />month but <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">wouldn'</span>t be too overwhelming.<br /><br />3 Make sure your goals are achievable and have an estimated end date. A goal of being a better cook is great, but hard to define. You’d have a much easier time setting and accomplishing the goal to take a cooking class and make 10 dishes you learned there. You’ll also want to set goals<br />and work on them throughout the year—you <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4">wouldn</span>’t want to wait to get them all done by December or you’ll be in a crunch during the holidays!<br /><br />4 Devote a page or spread to the accomplishment of each goal so that by the end of December you can look back and appreciate all the work you’<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5">ve</span> done throughout the year. Don’t forget to record how you felt about each accomplishment. Some, like running a half marathon, will be best captured by the emotions you felt, the ups and downs of the journey, and <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_6">the elation</span> at the finish line. The photo and the running bib just<br />enhance the experience.<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh5NbBtxfwRvVpAaL-ZzNnzF9MbuF2O8TA9fe-Re7ANocud7uPqF2jB2H7_chzrA2FvDrUZWzdqVxBppt7kEM2sYAZHH7ccCIwMqCHxWHd1WZ7s2GVyahjMjom3zYlRl27ZIT2x7mICpQt7/s1600-h/2010-4.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5424444597810346962" style="WIDTH: 199px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 200px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh5NbBtxfwRvVpAaL-ZzNnzF9MbuF2O8TA9fe-Re7ANocud7uPqF2jB2H7_chzrA2FvDrUZWzdqVxBppt7kEM2sYAZHH7ccCIwMqCHxWHd1WZ7s2GVyahjMjom3zYlRl27ZIT2x7mICpQt7/s200/2010-4.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br />5 Save scraps from the goals you achieve. If your family goes on a hike, save a leaf or a small memento from the hike to add to your page. Or save your ticket stub or program when you finally make it to the Shakespeare Festival to commemorate the occasion. You can see in the<br />Number 8 page how Christina used photos of a family hike to capture the event.

At the end of the year, you’ll be able to look back and have a succinct record of what you’<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_9">ve</span> accomplished during twelve short months. You’ll also be creating a treasured book of fond memories and impressive undertakings. New Year’s resolutions have never been so inspiring.

Hobby stores like Michaels & Hobby Lobby have sets of foam stamps for $1.00 with lots of kid designs to choose from. </div><div><br /></div><div>The problem I run into, is letting them use my ink pads. With my kids being 5 & 4 years old, I don't quite trust them with my $6.00 ink pads. And of course each child wants their own ink pads. And although you can find $1.00 ink pads at some stores, I don't recommend purchasing them. $1.00 Ink Pads usually don't have much ink on them & dry up before you have the chance to use them more than once. </div><div> </div><div></div><div>What I recommend is making your own ink pads. This can easily be done with the following:</div><ul><li>A baby wipe</li><li>A small foam plate</li><li>re-inkers</li></ul><p>All you need to do is squeeze around 8 drops of each color onto the baby wipe & voila!</p><p>I purchase my Re-Inkers through <a href="http://www.stampinup.com/us/enu/default.asp"><span style="color:#3366ff;">Stampin Up</span></a>. They run $2.95 per bottle, and can also be used to dye ribbon, re-ink your Stampin Up ink pads and much more. With 58 colors to choose from the possibilities are endless. </p><p>Depending on what your using your re-inkers for, they can last a very long time!</p>Melodyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12530361011575354189noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3220166054375249637.post-3392660950230827182009-02-24T15:27:00.000-08:002009-02-24T19:08:04.081-08:00Eyelet Lover Layout<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgynz38lM5FqC4gI34QyWA5gpaHgcOxP0a0rUCUlIJ-LmySANbvBmys295-ajVMTlkyQ4zvd-x_8js0PgVhlwbHYxCzcMNBO-j3_E4lYVTAuNpiyN-OefW_1qzYOkbxVja-8RXF80oDVg-l/s1600-h/IMG_6294.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5306514021973820338" style="WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 214px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgynz38lM5FqC4gI34QyWA5gpaHgcOxP0a0rUCUlIJ-LmySANbvBmys295-ajVMTlkyQ4zvd-x_8js0PgVhlwbHYxCzcMNBO-j3_E4lYVTAuNpiyN-OefW_1qzYOkbxVja-8RXF80oDVg-l/s320/IMG_6294.JPG" border="0" /></a> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiMB9e3G1JSPtnLeXjjlTGk6HCHr9WOitPMkdlt6SgjR7DSG42OfuwTeHCLaI-7pLobDrlFVvzw1xWWRcZ1J-faP59Q_hHgOzZoeVQddfwvvvJT_6b7Bq8i11SyeYE-oESxYb8RfTDJzMog/s1600-h/Krystyna+2.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5306516016761199234" style="WIDTH: 294px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 213px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiMB9e3G1JSPtnLeXjjlTGk6HCHr9WOitPMkdlt6SgjR7DSG42OfuwTeHCLaI-7pLobDrlFVvzw1xWWRcZ1J-faP59Q_hHgOzZoeVQddfwvvvJT_6b7Bq8i11SyeYE-oESxYb8RfTDJzMog/s320/Krystyna+2.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br />Here is a layout I created today for Author Jane Porter.
