I couldn't wait for these tropical papers to arrive. The minute I saw the new idea book, I knew they would be perfect for the pages of my Key's album.

The memories of the girls choreographing their routines are priceless. They spent HOURS making them just right and were so excited to perform them, for us.

Utter goofieness

I would have never thought of using "Sarsparilla" papers for a fishing page, but I love the result. When I saw the swirls, on this paper, it just screamed, "water!" I stamped the little fish on it, and it just all started coming together.

Out with the old...

Since the new idea book is literally right around the corner, I'm trying to use up some of my "old" supplies. I have to be able to justify HAVING to have the new stuff, right?

Just a little sneak peek!

It's almost May 1. Do you know what that means? It means there is a new idea book!!! Here's a look at the front cover.

Crop Night

Don't forget about my crop, Friday night. This is the card we will be making. Hope to see you here!

I'm just "Tickled Pink"

I absolutely love the papers in this kit. They are embossed with glitter and oh so pretty. It comes with textured die cuts to match the stamp set. i couldn't wait to sit and play with it all, so I had to find the perfect photos to go with it! I am so happy with the way these pages turned out.

Inspired by Target!

Inspiration can be found anywhere. I used these gift cards and made coordinating Birthday cards to send along.
