A Day In the Life

It is FRIDAY. We made it. And with spring break this coming week, we're hoping to be both busy AND relax, ha. We'll see how it goes! 

Today I have a scrapbook layout for you. This double layout uses a Scrapbook Workshop Kit that is on the Last Chance list, but it's still there! I made four pages with the kit in February, and here are two more. None of them remotely follow the included instructions, but I am happy with what I made. In fact, I like this one so much I kiiiinda might keep it in my own book instead of hers, ha. 

Almost everything here came from the kit, but the button and ribbon are long retired supplies- which is how I scrap! 

Supplies:
Paper: Crushed Curry & Basic White card stock, Autumn to Remember kit (DP, wood elements)

Accessories: Linen Thread, Autumn to Remember kit, Glue Dots, Natural Woven Ribbon (retired), long retired buttons, Paper-Piercing Essentials Pack (retired)

Moody Thanks

Happy Monday to you! 

Today should be busy at my house. So I've got a quick, easy scrapbook layout for you, featuring some current DP! I really like this paint swatch look, but it's kind of busy for my style... But it worked nicely in this layout!

Things to Note:

Happy Saturday!
Here are a couple housekeeping items you should be aware of!

With the new catalog release in May, card stock prices are going up. You miiight want to stock up on your favorite shades now.

Also, with the new catalog, we'll get new In Colors, but that means first we say goodbye to the 2023-2025 colors! Now is a good time to snag your ink refill bottles, and stock up on this card stock or accessories too! 

Any of this can sell out before the new catalog arrives, so don't wait to place your orders!

Pastel Flowers

Today I've combined the sketch from Freshly Made Sketches, with the color challenge from The Paper Players, and I'm playing along again with SUO Challenges too! 

First I used the Pastels Challenge for a slightly more colorful card. Some yellow, green, pink and honestly, even the beige strikes me as a pastel...
