2 Sketches 4 U - Kazan 17

Happy Monday to everyone!!
I'm already exhausted:)
After 2-weeks of Christmas vacation,
my body readjusted to getting up later,
so 6:00 was early for me!!
Hopefully this first week won't kick my butt.

I've spent the day trying to stay on target with my
goals & getting things accomplished in priority.
I've done good today & even have a few things to show.
Not sure I'll do anything else.....
I've a feeling I'll be in bed shortly after 8:00:)

The first is my compilation layout for 2008.
I started doing one of these layouts about 4-years ago.
I was using the same format every year,
just changing papers & embellies.
This year, I went with something totally different
& I like the end result.
I use one photo from each month,
that best represents a highlight from the month
& I journal what the pic represents.
Easy enough & here it is with a close-up of the middle.
I layered 2 Amy Butler die-cut butterflies.
When I bought these, I bought 2 sheets for this purpose.

I also got both sketches completed at 2 Sketches 4 U.
The first is Kazan's sketch 17.
I'm definitely in the Valentine card making mood
& this was an easy one, using a bunch of old SEI!!

This second card is using Peet's bonus sketch.
It might be hard to see,
but the lace trim goes through the center of the heart.
This card uses a lot of older product also,
including some Daisy Ds papers & Heidi Swapp hearts!!

And that's all I have for today.
I'm hoping to work with some So Sketchy sketches
& the CPS sketch.
Hope your week proves to be a blessed one.
