More Layouts

Here's a few more layouts I did from last week. My layout a day goal got interrupted with the kids being sick and just life getting in the way of my creative time. I really like this creative journal. I love being able to jot all my thoughts and sketches down in one spot to refer to later. This week I am working on some fun Valentine's Day projects. Hope to post those next week.
It is freezing cold in Minnesota! Zero degrees today. Stay Warm!

Gettin' Scrappy

I've been doing lots of layouts these days! For the month of January, I am trying to create a layout a day to get a jump start on my caftiness for 2008. Here's a few that I squeaked out this past week. I just love the Making Memories Noteworthy line ~ fun stuff! Anbody else on a stash diet?? I am trying to use up as much stuff as I can to make room for the new CHA releases!

Woo-hoo for Prima!

After scrolling through Pub Calls earlier in the month, I decided to submit for the Prima Design Team. The competition is I am sure extremely tough, but hey, I love flowers and I love Prima, so what have I got to lose, right? I completed these two projects and am so pleased with the results! I have had this junky chalkboard kicking around my scraproom for months. A little paint, pretty paper and some stunning flowers and ta-da! I love this and it looks great in our kitchen. This little wall hanging is a picture my neighbor took a couple years ago of Ellie. I love this photo and wanted to showcase it. I used the embossed Prima 12x12 chipboard for the base and painted it using a mix of pearlizing medium and some pale yellow paint. I love the look of the distress ink on the raised part of the chipboard. Hope to have inspired you all - cheers for the New Year!

I Think I'm In Love!

With my first ever Jenni Bowlin Kit! After running errands today, I arrived home to find this awaiting for me on my doorstep. Look at all these yummy papers, sweet little Prima flowers, awesome chipboard labels and that fabulous glitter butterfly! I'll be crafting later tonight with all these goodies - just in time for some last minute gift creations!
