Let's face it I am a very infrequent blogger. I typically think I would like to change that and blog more, but it is what it is. Ya know?!<br />
<br />
Anyway, here are my layouts for December and also my year in review collage. I look forward to starting my month in photo collages soon for 2015 and I will be sure to post my progress here. Thanks for reading!<br />

I haven't devoted as much time to photography and scrapbooking as I usually do, but I still took the time to take some photos each month and kept up with my monthly photo collages.<br />
<br />
My monthly collages for 2015 will all be done using the project life app which I am really excited about. I bought the app a couple months ago and have played around a little with it. I think it will handle my scrapbook needs perfectly and without having to turn on my computer. I still plan on uploading my photos to the computer for now, but at least putting together pages will be simpler and quicker than Photoshop Elements 10.<br />
<br />
Enough chit chat! Here are my monthly collages for March through November. These were all done in Photoshop Elements 10. Font is Ali Edward's handwriting font.<br />

Thanks for reading!<br />

We've had lots of fun. It took me a while to figure out how I wanted to handle my monthly collages this year. I thought about trying to do two pages instead of just one page for each month, but ultimately I decided the one page has been working for me. No need to make it complicated. I like the simplicity of picking the best photos that highlight our month.<br />
<br />
One of the reasons that I had thought about doing more pages is because I take a lot of photos. Especially a lot of nature or artsy photos. So, I am still thinking of how to handle that. I will either make a book just for those photos or instead of just having a quote page after each quarter in my photo books come up with a collage of those photos with the quote. Or both!<br />
<br />
Thanks for reading.<br />

I know. Bad blogger! I thought I was only behind on December's post but then realized I didn't post November's either. Oh well, it is here now and also made a quick year in review collage to put in the back of my photo book. Hoping to work on that today! I do hope to blog more than once a month (or two!) and might just start blogging about whatever plus my photo stuff. We'll see.<br />
<br />
A little note on how I did the year in review collage. I didn't make a template for it, but I used the month flags from my free template that I shared <a href="http://alifolendoreblog.blogspot.com/2013/02/a-month-in-photos-2013-template.html" target="_blank">here</a> and lined them up across the top of a 12x12 page. I reduced them in size by 90% to give them some space in between. The rest is just dragging and dropping the monthly collages onto the page and reducing their size to 25%. Then once they are all arranged I reduced each one to 99% individually to create the white line between them. If you select all of them before reducing they will not be spaced evenly.<br />
<br />
Thanks for reading and Happy New Year!<br />

We also enjoyed a paint chip scavenger hunt using fall colors. You can find the idea <a href="http://www.education.com/activity/article/paint-chip-picture-walk/" target="_blank">here</a>. It was very fun and kept us busy for a while!<br />

Shutterfly has a coupon every once in a while for a free 8x8 photo book, but I usually don't have anything ready. This time I quickly added my 2012 collages from the month in photos project and added some quotes to fill in the blank pages. I kept it simple with an all white layout and the cover has just a simple title and the year.<br />
<br />
I got this back in January and we keep it on a table in the living room. It is picked up and looked at often. This makes me feel so good to see my photos being looked at and not just stored away on the computer. I've made a photo book for 2011 using Rebecca's <a href="http://www.simpleasthatblog.com/2013/01/free-photo-collage-templates-from.html" target="_blank">2013 template</a> and plan to order it soon.<br />

Some big and some little. But, this post is about scrapbooking goals. My style of scrapbooking has evolved so much. From digital kits now to simple collages. It's more about memory keeping and sharing these days with me. I went from being being very detailed and behind to simplified and getting somewhere. I'd like to find a happy medium one day of photos, journaling, and embellishments.<br />
<br />
There are so many options with scrapbooking today. You can paper scrap, digital scrap, and hybrid scrap if you can't make up your mind LOL. One thing that I have really been interested in starting is <a href="http://www.beckyhiggins.com/" target="_blank">Project Life</a>. It's been around for a while, but I have always been a little intimidated by it. Now they have mini PL albums and mini kits too. I'm thinking I might order two this summer and work on the kids' baby books.<br />
<br />
Smaller goals that I want to work towards with our memory keeping is journaling (read my post <a href="http://alifolendoreblog.blogspot.com/2013/03/lists.html" target="_blank">here</a> about lists), get back to doing photo challenges (monthly themes and try something new like <a href="http://www.simpleasthatblog.com/2013/03/simple-things-sunday-postponed.html" target="_blank">Simple things Sunday</a>), more seasonal projects (like <a href="http://aliedwards.com/december-daily" target="_blank">December Daily</a>), and stay on top of my monthly photos. What are your memory keeping goals for this year?<br />
<br />

It helps me stay on track <i>for the most part</i>. I keep a composition book that I write in. It's mainly grocery lists and to do lists. Around holidays it is special lists and before traveling it is packing lists. You get the picture.<br />
<br />
One thing that I have really enjoyed in the past is photo challenges. As a scrapbooker, in the past photos have been my <i>thing</i> but journaling is always tough. The <a href="http://rukristin.blogspot.com/2013/03/currently-week-10.html?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+RukristinPapercrafts+%28rukristin+papercrafts%29" target="_blank">Currently weekly journaling challenge</a> by Kristen is so smart. It's almost like a tiny time capsule for your scrapbook listing all the stuff that you are into. This could easily be incorporated in to monthly collages or project life. If you are feeling really "listy" check out 30 days of lists free month challenge <a href="http://30daysoflists.blogspot.com/2011/04/30-days-of-lists-complete-collection.html" target="_blank">here</a>.<br />
<br />
You could certainly use these as a jumping off point for many things. Like use the currently challenge on a monthly basis instead of weekly, on your birthday month try making a list everyday with details about you similar to the 30 days idea, or occasionally include a grocery, to do, or packing list in your scrapbook.<br />
<br />
<i>Added 03/13/2013: Found another list of lists for journaling by Kelli. Check it out <a href="http://kellicrowe.typepad.com/kellicrowe/2009/07/list-of-liststhings-to-do-over-summer-breakplaces-id-like-to-travelthings-you-want-to-accomplish-this-yearthings-you-want-to.html" target="_blank">here</a>! </i><br />

Finally! I some how kept forgetting to put together February's collage. My intentions for this blog were to start posting more often. I'll blame it on winter. BLAH! I used a template I created for 2013's a month in photos project. This month I rotated and flipped the template and used a different title block shape since it worked better with my photos this time You can download the free template <a href="http://alifolendoreblog.blogspot.com/2013/02/a-month-in-photos-2013-template.html" target="_blank">here</a>.

I used Rebecca Cooper's new template to scrap 2011 so I wanted to make up something different for 2013. This template is nothing fancy, but I did give a few options on the title block shape. Most of the photo blocks are tall, but you can rotate the template 90 degrees for wider photo openings. Enjoy!<br />
<br />

This is the third year that my son and I have done this together. They are super fun and force you to get a little creative. You can see my original post <a href="http://alifolendoreblog.blogspot.com/2012/12/holiday-photo-scavenger-hunt.html" target="_blank">here</a>.<br />
<br />
I have to admit this year I was starting to wonder if I was going to be able to finish it. But, I put it on my to do list and got 'er done! My son asked me what is "holiday" about a window. I told him when I set out to take my photos I try to put something Christmas in the photo. For example, I could have just taken a photo of the window but I was sure to stand so that I could see the tree.<br />
<br />
Another photo project that I really like (but not sure if I can handle!) is the <a href="http://aliedwards.com/2012/12/december-daily-2012-the-complete-album.html#more-26848" target="_blank">December Daily project by Ali Edwards</a>. I may try it this year, but that time of year is always so busy and I just don't know if I can commit to it. We'll shall see!<br />
<br />
Thanks for reading! <br />

I haven't printed these yet. Trying to decide between printing them at home and adding them to an album or having them printed in a book by shutterfly or blurb. I still need to do a few things either way like add a details page for each month to note some of the juicy details and maybe a "best of" page for the end. Here is the cover page! So thankful for Rebecca from simple as that for sharing her collages and providing the inspiration for this project!<br />

Before the insanity set in, I stumbled on this blog post called <a href="http://rachelmariemartin.blogspot.com/2012/11/dear-mom-during-holidays.html" target="_blank">dear mom during the holidays</a>. I wasn't searching for it, but it found me on pinterest. ;-) If you find yourself enjoying the holidays less, read it.<br />
<br />
Anywho, sorry I got off topic! December was great and went by super fast. I am still working on my 2012 year in review and holiday photo scavenger hunt, but hope to have it done soon to share. I am still debating on what my photography goals for this year will be. I've been thinking about a few different ideas and just have to narrow it down and decide how to document 2013. Enjoy and happy new year!<br />

It is really fun! There are tons of photo lists out there, but thought I would share mine even though Christmas day is here there is still time to do it before the decorations come down. Enjoy and let me know if you do it! I will be sharing a collage after the holidays of our photos. Don't let one of these subjects keep you from finishing; feel free to change it up. Merry Christmas!<br />

In the past, I created scrapbooking pages to display and document my favorites. A few years ago, I made the choice to stop designing digital scrapbooking products and I am sad to say I quit scrapbooking too. Not because I was tired of it, but because of the lack of time to dedicate to it.<br />
<br />
I've been a fan of Rebecca Cooper's <a href="http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=1&cad=rja&ved=0CDMQFjAA&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.simpleasthatblog.com%2F&ei=O6XLUMGzOsPC2QWzgYGABw&usg=AFQjCNGKvwjK5fnbVyRcFaPpB4bZM3W7dw&bvm=bv.1355325884,d.b2I" target="_blank">Simple as that</a> blog for some time and for years had been drooling over her monthly collages. This year I decided to do it. Her templates are simple and easy to use. Check them out <a href="http://www.simpleasthatblog.com/2012/01/month-in-photos-2012.html" target="_blank">here</a>. You could certainly make one yourself, but she's done the work for you. Hardest part is picking your favorite photos!<br />
<br />
So, here is November's collage! I hope to put together a year in review post to share the rest of the months after the first of the year. I have kept up with this project all year and I can't wait to share it with you.<br />

I'm stepping back on to blog land soil. I've had a few blogs from my digi-design work days for promoting my products and one sad attempt at a creative blog. No promises, but I'm not as busy as I was when I quit blogging before. My hopes for this blog is to share my stories, creative things, and in time maybe some digital scrapbooking stuff.
