Top 10 of 2008

My dear friend Becky shared the idea of posting my favorite Top 10 layouts of 2008 – and I think it’s a wonderful way to cap off the year.  It’s fun to look back and remember why layouts were created, and how it felt to get them done and in an album.  Why don’t we go through our own albums more often?  We should.

I’d love to see your top 10 too!  Post a comment here once you’re done so I can come see and leave you a little well-deserved love! (P.S. I’m including projects in my Top 10 too – cause I want to ; ) ) Here they are in no particular order:

natures-beauty

scrap-artist_edited-1

dress1

so_very_lucky

thirty

wish-you-were-here

fly

new_path_jessica_ripley

butterfly_mobile

nov-family

Here’s to a new year with new trends, new products, and new artistic possibilities!  Cheers.

Thanks for stopping by today! :)

  • Awesome work you rock!!

  • PhoebeJo

    I love every single one but that dress is still one of my absolute faves of yours! And the paper piecing style page…love that one, too! Awesome work, Miss Jess!! What a great idea!!

  • Love the top 10 idea! I’ve followed your blog for quite some time so remembered most of them and it was nice to have the reminder again! Hehe – took your idea and have mine set to go sometime in the morning while I’m busy recovering from tonight!

  • These are so wonderful, Jess. I love that first one. There are two or three I hadn’t seen before. I agree with Phoebe…that little dress is so cool. I remember when you first showed us that. Your work is so inspiring. Every single thing you do. Have a happy New Year, Jess! I am glad you met your 10,000 goal!
