Pick of the Pack Jan 29th

Todays pick of the pack is a layout from Jennifers Project 365 album - all her pages are gorgeous but this one really leapt out at me from the gallery.
As you know Im nearly at the end of my project 365 album, - its been a real challenge, but Im really loving looking at everyone elses too.
You can follow along Jenn's project 365 here
Jen is using my  Daily Photo Brown for January's pages

Pick of the Pack Jan 28th - a poetry book

JanP has been using page kits to display some of the wonderful poetry she has written over the years.
What a marvellous idea - here are a couple of her pages with her notes on them below

This is about that feeling I sometimes get that a great truth is about to be revealed to me - if only I could remember what the question was that I needed to ask ... it's that "tip-of-the-tongue" feeling.

Have decided to haul out all the poems I wrote in the 1980s and see if I can find enough good(?) ones to put into a book. This is the first (although not the first I wrote), which I thought would be appropriate for the front page.

Poem:

Words Worth



The pen-kissed page reveals sweet phrases.

Sometimes what is written there amazes

me ...

What makes a poet different from the rest?

And who has right to stand in judgement;

saying that we pass (or not) their test?



Who best knows the worth of lines

if not the thoughtful poet who designs

them?

No one can determine quite as well

if what has passed 'tween pen and page

is really what the the writer wants to tell!



So critics in the world out there

may judge my efforts if they care

to ...

words not written for them to criticize,

but for myself, for my enjoyment,

without thought of any praise or prize.

I love this layout by Jeanet . Im always a fan of grid stye layouts and Jeanet has taken a grid and made it beautiful with this layout featuring this gorgeous little man
I feel a scraplift coming on!!

Here are Jeanets notes on this layout

LAYOUT:

How can I resist such a wonderful and cute boy? It’s 100 % pure happiness. When I saw these photos I knew I had to scrap them eventually and considering we are almost at the end of January 2010 I thought it was time to finish my 2009 layouts of Xander. I’m sure there will be plenty of new photos in 2010.

I’ve combined a lot of different kits in this layout; including my first ever challenge kit and posting bonus, the Fanciful kits. 3 years later and it is still one of my favorite kits.

Layout - Roosters

I made this layout using my new Cherry Chocolate Value collection  and my custom fill chipboard alpha ( rounders version) -   - I love the contrast of the deep red with the green and brown .
Journalling reads:
I love my rooster collection. I have quite a few now, from ceramic to metal, from tall and skinny to short and round. Each has its own unique personality and they reside in many rooms in my house. Just when I think I have more than enough I will be out shopping and one will pop up to tempt me.

I love the design of this layout by Jeanet . The dual circles make it really elegant - I think I might have to scraplift this one too!!!!!

Here are Jeanets notes on this layout:

Wow, what a beautiful kit this is! I love the gorgeous yet just a bit grungy papers combined with the very elegant elements like that butterfly.
It’s the perfect heritage kit but I’ve used it for a wedding photo this time since the pink color was perfect. These are my friends Charlotte & Allan at their wedding a few years back.
