For those interested, my gallery of the MOC is here. I looked at every challenge and thought, "How can I use this in my project life scrapbook?" I was successful more than a few times. One challenge was a 2 page spread (of course that worked!) and another was "The week" which had a few requirements (dates, labels, journaling), so another 2 page spread! A couple of other favorites:
This was a "fix an imperfect picture" challenge. There was a lot of food court action in the background of this duck face picture.
Another challenge became a potential title card which, sadly, I did not use (but may still adjust for the space I've got or adjust the dates and use it later!) because the template I chose for this week did not have a 4x6 title spot. The challenge was to use 5 alphas in a title.
One other thing I discovered and used is the Instafontmaker app. I have a new Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 Tablet that I bought to accompany my Galaxy note 3 phone. It has a Wacom stylus built in and was perfect to create my own handwriting font which I plan to use for journaling this year. I also want to capture my children's handwriting as well as my husband's. And the to-do list grows again!
And now, the January pages. I am really proud of reaching the goal I set to stay current. I am using Traci Reed Design's Plastic Stitched Grids templates this year and thus far I like the stitching aspect.

Week 2.5 (we attended a baptism which deserved its own spread - these pages were also part of the Lily Pad month of challenges!) I seriously can't get over our priest's devilish grin on the second page. Isn't it great when we can capture someone's true personality in a photo?
