Layout Spotlight for January 24th

January is now 3/4 over and I am getting excited. January has always been a particular long month for me. The cold and I just don’t get along. This January has been particularly trying because it has been colder than usual. Most days have been single digits or only in the teens. The only positive side that comes from the cold is that I have more time for scrapping. Why?

1. No yard work.

2. The kids go to bed early because it gets dark early.

3. I avoid leaving the house at all costs so I have extra time on my hands.

When I am not scrapping I also love to pick up a good book. During the winter months it is always fun to bundle up and get lost in a fun novel. Normally I am lucky if I can get one book read, this month I have already managed to go through three!

While browsing through the gallery I learned something new. The title of Yabby’s page caught my eye, “Nook start up screen”.

I had no clue that you could create your own! I thought it was such an awesome idea to create a start up screen with a birthday calendar. I tried to do some research to see if I could do the same for my Kindle Fire, but as far as I could see I am out of luck. I wish I could had something that awesome to look at every time I turned on my Kindle! To create the start up screen Yabby used the new kit from Blue Heart Scraps “You Keep me in Stitches”.

I love the lettering she added to the banner and the flower cluster under the calendar. Congratulations Yabby, such a fun idea and you did a beautiful job!
