More of Kala's Book

I know it feels like I've been posting pages from Kala's book for forever.....

....but they are going to keep on coming!!  As you've probably noticed, I used green, teal, and yellow throughout the whole book.  There are plenty of flowers,

butterflies,

mists, 

and felt.  

I love it when all of my favorites wind up in one project.  I did make all of the embellies.  I always think that's the best because they turn out the exact color and size you want them.  

Right Now

I've mentioned before that I love this blog.  It is on my list of ones I check every.single.day.  She is so talented and I am always inspired by what she creates.  She does something on her blog called "currents".  It is a list of what she is currently into.  I thought I'd try it out!

More Burpies

I have more burpies to share!  My friend hired me to make four burpies as a baby gift for her friend's baby girl.  We decided to put a little buggy in the bottom corner instead of a bird.  I think they turned out so cute and girlie.

I had extra fabric left over so I made a little gift tag to match.  

Thanks for reading!!

Cape Cod

Hello everyone!  I haven't posted in a week because Matt and I were in Cape Cod with his family.  We had an awesome time, fell in love with Martha's Vineyard, would love to stay here sometime, ate more ice cream than ever, had wonderful time with family....all in all it was a great vacation.

I will post pictures soon but wanted to post another couple of pages from Kala's book.

I'll be back soon with Cape Cod pictures!  

New Letterpress Goodness

Before I get to the letterpress projects, here is my latest layout.  A few nights ago I stayed up until 2:30 am crafting away.  Here is one of the projects I made.

I love this picture of Matt.  We were in Maui on Easter Sunday and decided to go to church before hitting the beach.  It was our first day there so we were dying to start our vacation. 

I made two different letterpress cards.  It has taken a little bit of work to figure out how to use my wonderful machine but I LOVE it now.  It's super easy to use once you figure it out and now my head is swimming with ideas of all sorts of projects.  If you want any cards made, let me know!

 

Sorry for the annoying shadows on the cards.  I'm still trying to figure out what atmosphere is best for taking pictures.  

Enjoy your weekend...it's almost here!  

Happy Anniversary to Us {one day late}

Four years ago yesterday, on a VERY hot day, Matt and I stood before our friends and family and vowed to love, honor, cherish, and respect one another for the rest of our days.  It was such a beautiful, wonderful day - the best day of my life.

Matt, thank you for four wonderful years of marriage.  I'm so happy I get to spend my life with you.  I love you!

Thoughts of a Scrapbooker

I was reading one of my favorite blogs, life.love.paper., and was inspired by her entry.  She was talking about how oftentimes, as a scrapbooker, she feels the need to defend herself and her hobby.  That is how I feel exactly!

Every time I tell someone that I scrapbook, I feel like I have to explain myself - explain that I love making things with paper, that it really is cool, that I'm not wasting my time or money....

Why do I do this?  I know other people think this is a dorky hobby.  I know other people think it is for people with no social lives.  But I don't need to worry what other people think about this hobby.  Bottom line, it is fun, it is such a source of joy for me, it is a way to document our memories for our Matt and I and for our future children, and it makes me feel good to make pretty things.  Do I need to have another reason?  I think not.  :)
