Welcome to 2016!
If you're anything like me you'll be full of good intentions for the coming year. So let's make a good start to the year by finishing up some of those half done or "just needs one more thing" projects.
I'll be finishing up my Dec Daily album this month so I trust you'll all keep me accountable.
All types of projects count (paper, digi, hybrid, PL, art journaling, anything else you create) and if you share your projects online please link them here so we can admire and leave some love. You can find instructions to post in the Refupeasgallery in this thread but shout out if you need help. |

I will play along, and I WILL keep you accountable so post your progress on your Dec Daily, and I will post mine. I have an ongoing project with my grand daughter to visit, photograph and journal about visiting every McDonald's in the Albuquerque metro area (and any other place we happen to find one), and for visits 4 through 8 I have MOST of the pieces ready to put together the pages but have yet to do so. For visits 9-12 I have the journaling complete but I have to get the photos printed, and purchase some bright yellow cardstock (having a problem finding a source) and then put the pages together.  A-1-1-2016-1 by Maribeth and Jim Robison, on Flickr Now, you need to keep me accountable as well. I need to get this project up to date, as I am planning another weekend of McDonald's hoping next weekend. Good luck Chinagirl828 - the challenge is on! Let's do THIS! |

Mine is just a page that I started on Halloween. It was still sitting, needing work the first week in November when I got sick. For over a month I didn't even set foot in my scraproom, so early this morning I decided I would finish it. I need to scan it and then I'll post it. Thanks, Chinagirl828, for posting this challenge. I have a few other projects I can finish too! |

I've been busy on my Dec daily album. I've just posted a double page in the stash challenge thread but I have a few others I've finished as well.   (sorry for the blank space on the right hand page - I didn't realise it had scanned that way until after I uploaded it to the gallery and I'd rather keep scrapping that go back and fix it). |

The frame on the right hand side is so old - from the days of the metal embellishments - but I love it here.   |

I love the style of the pocket pages you've shown. I tried them and couldn't make things fit the way I want, so I just do my thing on 8.5x11.
I have been talking about my Air Force album for a few months now, and it turned out to be such a huge project that I took a break to keep current pics up to date.
I did buy a third album since it was obvious there was no way I would get it into 2 albums, and I can see the end in site. I will probably pick it back up maybe next weekend and it will take me at least 3 crops to see the end.
Then I am going to add layouts of the many photos I have of DS's role play hobby. Those books are months behind with many old photos I never scrapped. I did go through and pitch a bunch of photos of people that don't matter for album purposes.
My 2 other projects this year is to get the heritage albums caught up since I got a bunch of photos from different sides of the family, and then get my wedding album updated with the papers and embellies I found to compliment my wedding - when I did the album I had very little in the way of supplies.
Lastly, if there is time, I want to fix my childhood albums. They suffer from the same lack of product issues as the wedding albums. I am enhancing them and fixing them up to tell my story rather than just have them on paper with some stickers.

Here is the page that never got finished all through Nov. and Dec. Now I need to dig out other half-finished projects.  Nylene by Nylene Budge, on Flickr Chinagirl828 , your December Daily pages are amazing. I guess I have never really understood what a DD was, but I am loving what you have done. myboysnme , I could have written your first sentence. I have tried to do pocket scrapping and just can't make it work. I also scrap 8.5x11. Have a great day, Refupeas! |

I just have to do the label for the spine of my Dec daily album and then I'm done so I'm officially letting myself move onto other projects.
How is everyone else tracking with their unfinished projects?

Love your DD Chinagirl828. maribeth, super cute layout and fabulous memories will be captured in that project. This is my finishing from last year. I started the background the week of Christmas or maybe the week before. The bow is a total scraplift from kellyr21 's page in the gallery.  MyGift by Lisa Davolt, on Flickr |

I had made this layout and tried to put them all in one page, decided to unglue some of the pictures and make it a two page layout. Added in the title and now it looks complete.  |

Those food animals are amazing. Your lo design is perfect to showcase these photos and I love how the striped pp pulls all the colours together. |
