thursday . . .

I always hate after the holidays - January is such a let down - it's cold, kind of dreary, Christmas is over & we have to wait another whole year for it . . . but something that does make me happy about this time of year (like I need one more scrapbook supply) is this:

And all the new scrappy goodies on the way to the stores :) Oh how I wish I could go to this - just to see all those awesome products - maybe one day (fingers crossed)!! Check out the GROWING list of new papercrafting products hitting the stores here. They update it daily :)

I am truly an addict of two things - this (which by the way is the absolute BEST ice cream ever - hands down!!)

and the other, scrapbook supplies - I LOVE them - I have a ridiculous amount already - if only I had more hours in the day to use them all. I have been contemplating putting a few single kits together and selling them on ETSY or here to make room for MORE goodies. We'll see . . .

Currently I am playing this in my car . . .

But I wish I was playing this

or this

or this

Oh the joys of "mommyhood" :)

On to some scrappy - Pam from My Creative Scrapbook sent me this gorgeous kit full of Lilybee Designs & Dream Street Papers as well as tons of embellishments - just loved it!!!

Here is my January sketch for MCS . . .

And here is my sample layout using the sketch . . .

A quick close-up on the flowers - these are layered Primas & then I created that small rosette in the centers . . .

I have lots of exciting projects coming up & can't wait to share them all with you!! Please keep checking back :) Have a fab Thursday!!
