Can you believe we made it to the end of 202?! That’s cause for celebration! This is going to be quite the year to document. If you’ve been doing your roundups each month, it will be really easy. If you haven’t, that’s ok too. It’s never too late to start and the end of the year is a great time to do a roundup. There are tons of recap news articles out there that will help you list the events of 2020,

If you are looking for some goal setting encouragement, I have a fun new collection that will do the trick! Celebrate your goals and set yourself up for success with these cheery supplies in your scrapbook, craft, and printable projects.

Before I get scrapping December moments and memories, I told myself I would get my November roundup completed. It helps me to set these types of mini-goals or conditions to hold myself accountable. November was definitely a tough month, but I’m so glad to have it documented!

I’m definitely ready for a new year and I’m betting most everyone feels the same way! I had so much fun creating this New Year Collection and I’m excited to share the details with you here today. Before I get to all the previews, I thought you might enjoy seeing one of the layouts I created with this collection.

Here we are at the end of November! That means it’s time to take a quick moment to pause and do a roundup of the memories and events of the past month. Use my simple roundup prompts to document the month so you don’t forget all that happened. It’s my favorite memory keeping tool and so many of my readers have made it a routine in their own lives as well.

Every year, I make sure to check out the new Adobe Photoshop Elements update and review it here on my blog. I appreciate that Adobe has given me the opportunity to work with a review copy this year so I could play around with the new features and share my thoughts.

I always get really excited when I have a new release to share here. My new December Moments collection is something I’m going to use for loads of layouts and holiday projects. This was a super fun design project. My daughter Riley created the color palette and designed one of the cards and one of the papers. It’s so fun to see her developing her design skills! Her enthusiasm has rubbed off on me and I feel like I’m having more fun that I ever have with designing. I hope you can feel that joy when you use these items for your own projects!

Since it feels like we are already 10 weeks into November, I figured I should get my October roundup done. October was another crazy month for us as the numbers in Utah have spiraled out of control. We voted by mail-in ballot and took them to an official dropbox. We watched way too much news and lots of tv shows and movies. The weather was pretty nice most of the month so we took a lot of walks. We did have a record-setting cold spell and even a little bit of snow. We all got our flu shots and I got a pneumonia shot since I'm at risk with all my sickness last year and having diabetes.

I can’t wait to share my 2 new collections with you but I’m even more excited to tell you about a brand new designer! My daughter Riley Cooper is making her debut under the design name of The Creative Coop and she designed one of the cards in my new Cozy Fall collection! She is just getting started but she’s always been brimming with artistic and creative talent. She’s been helping me behind the scenes here for a few months and getting to be a real whiz with Procreate and her Apple Pencil. She’s on instagram as the_creative_coop and you will be seeing more from her here as well.
