Happy New Year!!

No new resolutions this year - still being weight conscious, would like to find the time to do another show (Pippin auditions coming up soon!), adding TTT's message board to my dailies (or almost dailies), and I'm choosing one super layout from the magazine every month. I meant to do it last month, but never got to it, so today, I'm posting my 2 favs - 1 from December, 1 from January. If I can, I'm even going to try to scraplift it - y not?

This month, as the we're visiting the streets of Barbados (and I can tell you from experience, driving with the locals is one wild and crazy - and a little scary - experience there!!) Kory Ann Dordea's layout, Nothing Stops the Tears is my all-time favorite this month. I just love that it's not your normal happy layout, but it's beauty is not any less. I love this design. I love this concept. Stunning!! See it here.

Now, last month's favorite is actually from a girl I worked with for the Santa article. I just found this frame by Jenna Franklin so sweet and sparkly! Fun! See it here.
