Newest Love...

These Die Cuts With a View new stacks & chipboard embellishments are WONDERFUL! I love them & think they are so cute! My favorite is definitely the "Green Stack" with the coordinating chipboard! Just look at that little skunk...ADORABLE! I just bought the chipboard & I can't wait to use it...especially with Jacksy's Halloween pages! (He was a skunk...how perfect?!)

Need inspiration?

Sometimes I run out of ideas for page layouts, embellishments, photos etc. Some of the best places I find inspiration are in the two scrapbooking magazines I subscribe to (Creating Keepsakes & Scrapbooks etc.) or through scrapbooking & design blogs. Blogs are so great because they are free and are usually updated frequently. Some of my favorite blogs for ideas are How About Orange, Thompson Family, Craftershock, Making it Lovely, and Jamie Hammond Photography. Hopefully these can help all of you too if you run out of inspiration.

Where do you find your scrapbooking inspiration?

So many projects!!

I am working on 4 scrapbooking projects right now and I am really behind! I guess I should slow down on the picture taking or something! One of the projects I am working on is Jackson's book and the last pictures I scraped were taken in May! Oh well...maybe some day I'll finish everything! =)

An easy decoration

I love scrapbook paper...but not just for scrapbooking! It can be used as a cheap & easy way to decorate your home. Sometimes I just run out of pictures to put in frames, so I love that there is such a variety of scrapbook paper to use...pretty much in any color/style you could want.

My desk looks like this....

because I've been busy doing all of this...

I have been in the process of creating an album dedicated to our trip we took to California in October and I am almost done! I have had so much fun with this album- I got to use all of my bright, fun, girlie paper and I am using a three-ring binder style album. This album has been AWESOME and has let me use several different sizes of papers...so fun!
