It's a most wonderful time of the year. The day we get to begin again. A day to take stock and evaluate what we are and what we want to be. For our gallery, we asked our team to think about the things that define their pages. To note their trends, be they trendy or not. Analyzing yourself is tricky, but they did a great job. Take a look. And enjoy!

A Note from Lisa
When I thought about what trends I wanted to use on my layout this month, I came up with the watercolor trend. It has become huge this past year! So for my patterned paper I used a page from one of my coloring books. I then colored just a little to make it more interesting.

My husband started making mead for his fiftieth birthday. Since then, he’s been experimenting with flavoring, so I paired a few recent photos of him and the mead and journaled about his recent brews.

One of my goals for the new year is to finish reading all the books on my nightstand.
MY HEART IS FULL OF LIKE
BY ALIZA
A Note from Aliza
Black and white and grey are my favorite colors. My photos almost always end up in the middle third of my pages, and my titles always rest on some element of the page. No whimsical titles for me! Add some small doses of patterned paper and embellishments, and that sums up all of my layouts. Those are my trends, and even if I wanted to, I am not sure that I could change them.

For the holidays, I received several gift cards to Amazon. I used them all on cleaning tools. Yes, I am that exciting of a person. (But really, you should see how my new broom and lint brush collect dog hair!)
Happy New Year!!
