Favorite layouts from 2011

2011 has come to an end and 2012 is off to a roaring start.  Looking back, I have to say that 2011 was a very good year.  My family was healthy and happy, my girls progressed in all areas of their lives (school, friends, mastering new skills, etc.), and we welcomed two loving kitties into our household (they've brought us so much joy!).  Also, I made some wonderful new friends in 2011 -- some real life friends here in Southern California and some online scrapping friends from all over the world.  I'm grateful that this hobby has brought these sweet new friends into my life.  In 2012, I reduced my scrapbooking commitments down to a manageable load, so I was able to enjoy more free, non-scrapping time.  I had the honor and privilege of designing for Creating Keepsakes Magazine and Prima throughout the year -- my two biggest scrapbooking "dream" teams. I'm filled with gratitude for all the gifts of 2011.

I'll jump on the bandwagon and post my favorite layouts and projects from 2011.  

Thank you for indulging me!  If you posted a list of your personal favorite projects from 2011, please include a note/link in the comments.  I would love to check out your beautiful work!

I wish you all a very healthy and happy 2012!!
