GAME #1 - I'm proud of myself because....

[luv2scrapmm]

I'm proud of myself because I completed the entire marathon after not scrapping for almost a year!! It was so much fun!



I really love the way this layout turned out. This was from our 25th anniversary cruise and we splurged on a navigator's verandah. To be able to get up sooo early in the morning to watch as we sailed into NY harbor was amazing.



This one makes me smile because of the story I recorded. That my family loves me enough to stand in line for the princesses (after we missed Rapunzel the last trip - the only thing I had really wanted to do) makes me feel so blessed. Of the 3 princesses, Rapunzel made our 25th anniversary celebration even more magical with her enthusiasm.

Im proud of me because I almost finished my 2011 trip, just one more page to go (from 300) and it will be over and then to printing!!!! I wasn't even sure if I would be able to complete the whole marathon because of unexpected family affairs but I did it and on time for the PPs and the gold. Im really so glad about my books and that my family will be able to see the pics after almost 2 years!!!

I think this is my favorite page:



Thanks for all you did Melinda!!!

This is such a great idea and so fun to read about what everyone is proud off!! So time for me to say it!
I am proud of myself because I completed the entire marathon for the first time! It wasn't easy to stay up so very late 3 nights in a row but it was worth it!!

I'm really proud of this layout cause it's the first time that I managed to blend the photo well!

Thank you again to all of the designers and hosts. I had a great time competing in my first marathon.

I am proud of myself because ...
1) I achieved gold
2) I achieved all of the PP
3) I can see the progress of my layouts in my own gallery. Before this weekend I had only been able to get done 7 layouts total over the last 6 months since deciding to go digital. Up until now I spent a lot of time shorting my photos and organizing all of my digital goodies. I took a lot of notes and have a list of new tips and tricks to use or research on how to use.
4) I some how managed to have the patients to complete most of my layouts with my 9 year old Daughter sitting right next to me (if not on top of me) for the entire weekend. I swear she was more excited every time a new rule was announced.
5) I am proud of this layout because 80% of it was actually done by my daughters hand on the mouse. She took great instruction and had input every step of the way.

6 ) I am proud of myself because I wasn't afraid to share something I wasn't 100% happy with and that I'm not afraid to go back and change it. (I have found my entry for this weeks weekly challenge - redesign coming soon)

7) I am proud of myself for starting with a template and then by the time I was done the layout looking nothing like the original.

8) Most of all I am proud of myself for stopping to lurk around the boards and galleries and just jumping right in and make it happen.

I am so proud of myself for lots of reason - #1 not stressing out OR stressing my family out during the marathon last weekend #2 learning some cool tricks in photoshop along the way, trying new things and #3 using one of my very own kits as I've learned SO MUCH from the ladies here @ mousescrappers within the past year and am SO VERY THANKFUL!

Here are two my favorite LO's from last weekend:

I am very proud of this LO because when I did the cluster I was thinking it didn't look very good, but it really came out well

[Charelkenl]

I am proud that I finished all 16 challenges and by the deadline for each.

Here are the two layouts I liked the best

I am most proud of :

1. My gold!!! Even though I didn't finish every SS within the time frame because of work and church, I caught up and completed them all! WHEW!

2. I actually wasn't so stressed while I was doing the speed scraps. And I even completed two within an hour of starting them

3. I am most proud of these layouts:


I have been dying to use this template but, never had the right pictures. I think I completed this one at about 2 in the morning. I was a bit dilirious.

and


I am ususally never the sole person in a picture but, I had been wanting to use the kit bad and I like the story that I wrote on it.

Thanks for the fun self back patting! It is amazing to see my layouts from this year compared to the ones I did last year. WHAT A DIFFERENCE!
