Looking back at 2013: A year of sharing work from inspiring scrapbookers
Throughout this year, I’ve been delighted to share the work of so many talented scrapbookers with you, through their step by step scrapbooking tutorials, Five Ideas posts, and their interpretations of scrapbook page sketches. Each of the guests you’ve seen here is a crafter whose creativity inspires me to try something new and reach for something a little better, and I hope they have brought some of that same inspiration to you, as well as teaching you one or two new tricks!
Before the clock ticks over to 2014, I’d like to thank all the scrappers who have shared their work here this year. As there are now fifty-two entire weeks of tutorials and Five Ideas posts, I’ve put together two Pinterest boards as a visual index so you can find their tutorials easily. 2013: A Year of Scrapbooking Tutorials includes all the step by step posts, and So Many Scrapbooking Ideas includes all the Five Ideas posts.
(As a little aside, I am really pleased we were able to come up with so many different topics for Five Ideas. At one point, I feared it would be all focused on a single product each week, and while many are product-centric, there were also a lot of other great ideas that didn’t require any shopping, and I love that.) Of course we appreciate anything you repin for your own bookmarks to come back to it later or share your favourite ideas with friends! Thank you for pinning – always! But mostly these two boards should help as a bit of a visual reference for finding an older post that you might remember by imagery more than words. When we roll over to the 2014 design here on the blog tomorrow, you’ll find these two pin boards linked in the sidebar so you can get to them any time.
Of course that omits the sketches at the moment, but that is just for now. There is a lot of new coming to this space imminently, so I’ll just leave that for now and share more with you shortly on the sketch front!
What else new? Oh… maybe some long-awaited class news! Maybe an exciting new year ahead! Maybe I should stop with this post and get all that stuff ready!
Thank you so much to all of the guest artists who have worked with us this year. Thank you for making things and sharing ideas and being so lovely to work with! And thank you to all of you who stop by to read whatever you might find on the blog on any given day. I can never thank you enough.
I’ll stop gushing now and get back to all that other stuff I need to post for you, but truly: thank you for a lovely 2013.

I for one, have really grown in my scrapbooking this year due to your wonderful instruction and teaching Shimelle. Thank You! So much so, i even managed to put together a half decent page WITHOUT scraplifting one of your designs. I just used the design principles and other stuff you have taught me over the last year….. and I really like my page! Looks like my own style might be emerging. Smile. So thank YOU Shimelle, sooooo very much, from here in down under.
