Happy Scrapping!

I realize I need to organize my scrapbooking folder, before I can post pics again because everything is helter skelter there!  Here is the only handmade Christmas card I sent out this year.  My goal for 2011 is to make 2 Christmas cards each week and not send any store bought next year.  I'll let you know how that goes.

This layout was done for a challenge in a scrapbook group I'm in. The directions were to use 2x3 blocks & use 20 of them. The problem with that is that I would have no space between the rows, as my paper is 12x12 so, being married to a retired marine, I improvised, adapted & overcame, lol. This is a close up I took of flowers in a vase. I had it printed to 8x10. I am not quite sure what I will put in the empty blocks, I'm not even sure I will leave the layout as it is. Please leave a comment and tell me what you would do.

My Creative Mojo

I've had some the last few weeks.....and here is what I've gotten accomplished: First are cards I made for some challenges in 2 groups I'm in on Cafe Mom: Faith Love & Scrapbooking and Crop N Chat. I sent these plus 5 birthday cards to one of the members of Crop N Chat for Operation Write Home. This organization collects cards, then sends them to our military so they have cards to send home.  OOPS, the 2 cards with photos of flowers I did not include in that group.

Next are the layouts I've done , for more challenges in the above mentioned Cafe Mom groups. I'm finally making progress on finishing Jess's books!

What do you think? And would someone please tell me how to get my blog to look like it does when I'm writing it?  All the pics are nice & neat, together but when I preview it, they are taking up a ton of room! And why, after I post pics, is my text always centered?
