So, yesterday afternoon I was preparing to take the kids to the lake when my doorbell rang and this is what I found:
I love it when one of these shows up on my doorstep!! I usually means something fun is inside!! And this is what I found once I was able to open the box (this morning-torture!).
Last week I was checking out some blogs and I came across a great blog by this woman named Aphra which led me to a wonderful website for www.paper-poppy.com. It is a new (at least new to me) monthly kit & I had to order it. Did you see the strawberry chipboard book over on the right? If you don't know, I love fruit! I have fruit plates and images all over my kitchen; can't pass up a kitchen towel with fruit on it and definitely can't not buy fruit embellishments. I have all kinds of fruit stamps and paper; & I am always making fruit related cards. So, needless to say this kit just screamed "I want to come to your house". The patterned paper is from Cosmo Cricket & Jilli Bean and the Thickers have little pocka dots on them. I can't wait to play with this. And check out Paper Poppy - fun and cute kits!
I also had the chance to scrapbook a bit yesterday. This is a layout I created for my girl Grace for a field trip we went on to Sterling Mines this past spring (really cool place). All the patterned paper is from Basic Grey (I am determined to use what I have before I buy any more new Basic Grey - but I really love some of the new paper); cardstock by Bazzill and title stickers from Thickers. Still working on getting the kids albums up-to-date; not quite there yet.
Wow! That is an awesome kit! I am going to check that website out. Very cute stuff. I know how much you like fruit!
