Top Ten Scrapbooking Projects of 2014 Blog Hop

As 2014 comes to a close I'm joining forces with 23 amazing bloggers to bring to you hundreds of fabulous projects from the past year. I'm so excited! I know we were only supposed to show our 10 most favorite projects but I couldn't narrow it down to 10. I've got 12 projects to share with you!
  1. Happy Halloween. This layout is created with the * Bella Blvd Halloween Magic collection...Have I mentioned how much I LOVE Bella Blvd?!?!
  2. Little Critter Love, I have a fun story to tell about this layout. Somewhere Mercer Mayer (the author of the Little Critter series) saw this project on my Facebook page and commented on it. It made my day! I'm kind of a nerd ;)
  3. I created the layout "Childhood Memories" for a Lets Talk Tuesday post about documenting Childhood Memories when you don't have any photos. I used *
    October Afternoon's Public Library collection...it's a must have for a family full of bookworms.
  4. Lil Stinker is a Halloween layout that I created using a Valentines kit (Gossamer Blue). I never would have guessed that I could use Valentines themed products with a Halloween photo. I love the results!
  5. "Hello" was created when I challenged myself to use every letter of the alphabet on one layout. A back to school themed project was the perfect place for lots of letter stickers. I think everything on this layout is from American Crafts
  6. She Loves Horses was created from a Paper Camellia kit. This layout has tons of the * Maggie Holmes Style Board collection on it. I'm a sucker for all things Crate Paper.
  7. Christmas Program is another Paper Camellia project. I love the photo of my little girlie on this one!
  8. Family Time is created with the * Bella Blvd Hello Autumn. This collection is ah-mazing! It has the most adorable elements. I've used it over and over again. While we're talking about using things over and over, this is a sketch that I love and have used many many times.
  9. Storytime is the 2nd layout I created for a Lets Talk Tuesday post on being inspired by layouts that you see on Pinterest. The layout that I used as inspiration for this project has been pinned almost 2,000 times...just from my board (you can find the layout HERE). Wow, that's a LOT!
  10. Mustache Smiles was created for another Lets Talk Tuesday post about using ALL of your letter stickers. This layout is one of my post popular.
  11. Our Kids is the first layout that I created for my Inspired by Pinterest post. I LOVE how this turned out. I used the * Family Forever collection by Bella Blvd. (Another one of my favorite Bella Blvd collections.)
  12. Little Man is created with the * Tiny Tots collection by Bella Blvd. It's about my little man turning 5. I'm still a little teary eyed about this little man growing up!
That's a wrap for my 2014 scrapbooking/blogging projects. It's been a great year but I think 2015 will blow it out of the water. I have so many fun things coming up!

The ladies on this blog hop have teamed up to off one lucky winner a $75 gift certificate to the Paper Issues store. I LOVE Paper Issues and I'm crossing my fingers that one of my readers gets to cash in on that $75! All you have to do is comment on this post for your chance to win. The winner will be chose on January 4th 2015 and announced on January 5th 2015.

Wait, there's one more thing...I have a little something to giveaway too. I've put together a little stash of Christmas supplies. I know all of you have a bunch of Christmas photos that need scrapped so here's your chance to get a few free supplies. All you have to do for this giveaway is tell me which of my 12 favorite layouts is your favorite.
