 I am very excited to be choosing projects of the week for the first time, but, - boy - was this hard! There were so many beautiful, clever, innovative and/or eye-catching projects from which to choose. After lots and lots of going back and forth, here are my picks:

TRADITIONAL LAYOUT: Smile Often by Nellie Pickles
Love the bright colors and sprinkling of embellishments. I also appreciate the journaling that's on the page; I often forget to tell the story on my layouts.


Honorable Mention: On Her Wish List by MTCanuk
Another layout that my eyes kept gravitating toward - hexagons intimidate me (don't know why). I love the paper choices, the way the hexagon pattern paper was used, and the composition.


DIGI LAYOUT: Snowboarding by pizazz
I've been collecting digi elements for years (remember Two Peas?), but never actually created a layout! I love how the little boy blends into the scene. 


CARD:  Meow-licious by SapphireHandcrafted
This card sings to me from the stenciled paw print background to the cute kitty images. I also really like how the tags stand out against the kraft base. Plus it combines my love of cats and food.


Honorable Mention: 2025 Birthday Card 1 by Shoorn
I liked Susan's take on the sketch by using diamonds - and such pretty patterned paper.


ART JOURNAL: When by karen_c.
This touches all of my senses - it's beautiful to look at, I can almost smell the ocean air, I can hear the waves crashing on the shore, and feel the sand under my toes. And since I'm eating chips, I can taste salt.


Honorable Mention: Art Journal by SandyK1967
Despite my discomfort of hexagons, here's another project that involves them but is oh-so-beautiful. It's a creative take on the weekly sketch challenge and I can't take my eyes off of the left page.


PHOTOGRAPH: Spring on a Winter Day by Art_Teacher
With all the snow and heat many of us have (or are still) experiencing, this photo is a reminder that Spring is (sort of) around the corner!


Honorable Mention: Funny by Karyn_Sue
Kinda says it all.


OTHER: Mini Album What One Loves by Bev H
Bev has been busy making mini albums with Graphic 45 collections. This one is my favorite! The Elegance collection is one of my most-hoarded scrapping possessions (there are, sadly, many that fall in this category but I digress) AND she created this so exquisitely.


Honorable Mention: Hello Winter Pocket Pages by SuzLee72
I've always wanted to do pocket pages and have all the pockets...and pages...but need more inspo. This project has me thinking I can do it! It's beautifully composed and combines my love of mixed media and interactive components. (Plus Suzanna's YT videos are easy to follow and fun to watch.)

Thanks for picking my funny meme. I have to admit I am absolutely guilty of doing this - and even asking my DD and DS to dress their kids "appropriately" for photos!! I've been known to remind them not to put kids in clashing colors, or "could you PLEASE comb their hair"!
