The Best of 2014

Best iPhone snap

December 31st. The last day of the year. We are roughly 12 hours away from hitting the yearly reset button and I just wanted to share a personal round up of my twenty fourteen’s best moments. Looking back, I am surprised at how much we did and how much I created! Have a look:

Best Tutorial

Before I started blogging here, I was posting at Life on Lee Avenue. Early in the year, I created this video to share with others on how to create personalized cards for your Project Life title page. Hard to believe that was 11 months ago!

Best Fifteen Minute Layout: 

In some ways, this set page set the tone for my entire year. With a deadline quickly approaching and the need to submit 4 pages, I put this layout together in 15 minutes – a record for me. Simple, quick and easy, I learned memory keeping didn’t have to take multiple days to finish.

Best Move (Literally):

This past spring we decided to search for a bigger house. Six intense weeks late we found and bought our dream home. July we moved in. Life was chaotic and hard but the end result was so worth it. PS….we are loving our new space.

Best Use of Colour in a Layout:

In June 2014, we were lucky enough to visit the Outerbanks, North Carolina. For those keeping score, that was before Hurricane Arthur hit. When I sat down to create this vacation page, I threw caution to the wind and embraced colour. Normally, I am super intimated by colour – true story! Note to self, try this more often in 2015, Jess!

Best Date Night: 

In September, we got free tickets to a TIFF movie. Little did I know we would be watching the movie alongside the movie stars themselves. Funny because all I cared about was wearing my comfy pants. Ha!

Best Travel Pages

In September, I finished documenting our pre baby trip to Argentina and Chile. This was one of my favourite pages I created out of the group. So fun to put this trip into page protectors!

Best/Yummy Recipe

 

Get in my belly! I would love some Blueberry Peach crumble right now!

Best Page Documenting Grandparents

Super fun to have this page in the books and on the Scrapbook Cards and Today Magazine blog!

From my family to your, Happy New Year! Stay tuned – I can’t wait share more exciting / interesting adventures with you in 2015!
