How adorable is that photo and I absolutely love those banners on the page!!!

If you live where it is snowing currently like I am... I am really appreciating, Mel J's layout!!!

We all need to reminisce about the summer and sunshine!!!

Thanks Mel for spreading your sunshine!

Angie's granddaughter is just the cutest... I love the glimmer mist on the layout!

Another adorable baby picture!!! This is Mel F's niece and she is looking forward to her visiting her in Australia!!! Love all those embellishments!!!

"This poem made me think about the days my two little babes were born and how the world was full of shiny hope and possibility for them. I just adore the baby burrito, too! And it symbolizes the idea of the poem that I hope they always feel loved and protected. I pixelated their names and birthdates on this layout...I try as much as possible to not say their names online. "

Love these pictures and your layout Heidi!!!

I love the baby burrito too.. how adorable!

I love Tiffany's lovely wall hanging she made as a tribute to her 3 favorite people! "It's a 12x12 canvas that I roughly painted and then decoupauged pattern papers and photos to the background." =) Tiffany

Love this wallhanging Tiffany... I am sure your family does as well!!!

"This is such a beautiful poem and I well suited for this photo our dear little granddaughter. It is a very special poem and the sentiments are all grandparents want for their grandchildren.

I hand wrote the little paragraph, as I felt a special connection with this section of the poem.

Thanks for looking and hope that you enjoyed the poem as much as I.

Till next time."....Liz

Challenge #33 New Year

New Year

by: Katharine Lee Bates

Are you ready for the New Year? Did you take some fabulous photos that are just calling to be scrapbooked... well this is the poem for you! Do you have some fun snow pics just calling out to be used? Read our poem by clicking on the Poem link on the right side bar!

Here is what the design team has for you...

Kelly

This year we actually had a white christmas!! My kids loved having the 10 inches of snow that we had. Normally we just get black sludge so to see white snow was awesome!!

Mel F

From this poem I started by using the words 'New Year' for my inspiration. I decided to record my scrapbooking resolutions for 2011. Rather than put them onto a layout and into an album never to look at them again I decided to create something that can sit in my scrapbooking room to remind me of my resolutions for the year! I decided to create a 'Tree of Time.'

Liz

This year in the Southern Hemisphere, we were blessed with a great deal of rain and the trees and parks were the greenest they have been in years. So I worked with the words 'Green Year' from the poem to reflect the images that 'say it all'.

Mel J

I was itching to do a layout with our new years pics and have been wanting to use bunting on a layout for a while too! The part of this layout that took me the longest was deciding which type of lettering and colours to use, I felt that yellow went well with the explosive theme but didn't show up on the heart cardstock and so I used the photo to make them pop and I was pleased with that.

Tiffany

Tiffany used pictures from a winter hike she took a couple years back worked out perfectly for this poem. Did a white on white layout, layering a ton of punched snowflakes and a few gems for a bit of bling!

Jenn

2011 is turning out to be an extremely white year... we have had a snowstorm every week.

My kids are loving the snow! Happy New Year all!

Tessa

I decided to focus on "new year" and the color white. Since now I don't live where it snows, I thought about what other things are white this time of year. I remembered my notebook that I hope to fill with journaling over the course of 2011. I snapped a photo of the open pages and one of my favorite pens and created this layout, comparing the new year to a blank notebook, full of possiblity.

We are saying farewell to Tessa as she moves on to some other new possibilities this year! I have loved having you on our team and it is always sad when it is time to move on! I am not saying goodbye in hopes that she returns in the future! We love you and all wish you well!

We hope you join us with our 1st challenge of the New Year! Please link your layout to Mr. Linky below, in the comment section or email a picture to scrapthatpoetry@hotmail.com

You have until January 30th at 10 am to link. The winner's layout will hang in our Poetry corner as well as you can be a guest designer for the Feb 15th challenge! Come play along and tell us about your new year!

Winner

Suzanne
