Scrapbook Friday (and some new scrapping goals)

First up, Britt has a new template pack out called Fill 'Er Up. They're based on some of Britt's recent pages and I'm LOVING them!! When I scrap without a template I tend to line things up and leave a lot of blank space. It's not a bad look, but it get's repetitive when I do it over and over. I was super excited for these templates because filling up the whole page is not something I tend to do naturally, but I love the look! Britt does such a good job filling the whole page with photos and elements, and her templates are so easy to use!
I did two pages with them, both from our trip to Seattle last summer (I know we're having a beautiful January, but I'm totally missing summer lately!).




With a new year comes new scrapbook goals. Last year I set a goal of one page per week, and I actually came closer than I thought I did. I scrapped 43 pages in 2011, only 9 less than my goal. I also set a goal to finish a year album before I turn 30 (next month, eek!). I don't think that's going to happen. I started 2011 working hard on getting 2010 scrapped, but then I ended up scrapping more and more current pages and never got very far on 2010. So, I've decided that since I'm doing P365 this year I'm not going to do a whole year scrapbook (I will be printing P365 photos in an album, but I'm going to do something really simple for that). Instead I'm going to focus on scrapping 2010 and 2011 pages. I know I will be doing a separate album for our Disneyland trip like I've done in the past, and I will probably want to scrap other special events, but I would like to get at least one of those years done by the end of 2012.
