some girly stuff

I'm slowly getting back to a semi-normal schedule. That first week after surgery is always a doozy for me. If I could, I would spend every moment in bed sleeping away the days until I felt better again.... but alas, I cannot. A family, pets, and a house all depend on my speedy return to normalcy. :) (It's amazing how much work piles up if you don't stay on-top of it all day - every day!!)

I haven't really taken any new photos this past week, for obvious reasons, and there isn't really a spectacular menu planned for the week... So, instead I thought I'd share a couple of pretty scrap-projects! After all - paper does seem to take up a considerable part of my everyday!



First, there is a brand new project tutorial for the Crate Paper Blog. Emma's Shoppe is, in my opinion, one of the best-ever girls scrapbook collections. They are so many cute pieces of chipboard to use, the journaling cards are beautiful and the papers are oh-so lovely! If you're drawn to girly and vintage inspired scrapbook products, this whole collection is very much for you!




A simple layout I created for CHA. I don't think I posted it yet.. must have slipped my mind! Alaina received this big flowery headband as a Christmas present and wanted her photo taken. I knew I had to scrap some of those photos!





and two projects from last year for entreARTistes magazine. If you're able to get your creative hands on this magazine you won't be disappointed! Even if you don't speak/read French, the photos alone will be worth it!




I'm off to work a bit on a couple of new Spring inspired projects. Paper, fabric, paints and my sewing machine should be a splendid Wednesday afternoon!
