I can't stop playing with my favorite colors red and pink, and I can't stop playing with crepe paper. I am officially Addicted. I've come to the conclusion that I'll never be a "flat" scrapper. If it's not loaded and bulky it's not Done! ;) Here's a couple things I've been playing with using cupcake papers too. ;)
hmmmm now I think I need to bake some cherrychip cupcakes with cream cheese frosting! I can't waste the rest of my cupcake papers! Yummy!
Okay I'm done feeling sorry for myself cause things didn't work out for me to attend CHA, and I realized I hadn't even updated my blog in a week! The Bad Girls February Kit is so FUN!!! The perfect remedy for the freezing cold winter blues with it's bright happy colors!!! love Love LOVE this kit!!! Here's a couple of sneaks.....
and Here's another Layout using the new Transatlantique Collection from Graphic 45
(a shout out to some online pals, the faces are blurry on purpose for the online version anyway) ;) I wanted it to look like it had been around the world a few times. ;)
Project 52 is in full swing! It's my Turn this Week and here's a little peak of what's on the P52 Blog, come on over and join in the Fun!
Thanks for stopping by!!
This is one of my favorite layouts using the new Graphic 45 Transatlantique Line!! This jar of prima flowers had no idea it's only intended use was to be the "background", but as soon as I saw them I knew what they were meant for. ;) I only wish I could travel to Paris! Maybe someday.....but for now I'll settle for these really cool vintage postcard pieces I found. The rusty red print paper is my FAVORITE from the entire line! I want it on some Fabric!!! Yum!!!
I love experimenting and trying new things on paper and creating texture! For this G45 layout I really wanted a mediterrainian feel of an old plaster wall. I was having so much fun painting and inking when my friend Michele offered her cutesy tutesy lil' mini spray mister of water! It worked like a charm and even made the "plaster" crack where I wanted it to!!! It was just the touch it needed. I love the whole feel of this wacky layout and my daughter adores it (which is the most important part ;) ) I think she's seen Mama Mia about 50 Million times! hmmmm that reminds me I SO need to do a Twilight Layout!
My favs this week are a bit different, partly cause I'm too tired to remember my favs this week and in need of some Major ZZZZZ's! My projects are ready to be mailed off tomorrow, I will be posting them next here and there next week, I played with the Brand New Transatlantiqe Collection from Graphic 45, and it was lovely! It reminded me how much I wish I could travel to far away places! So my Friday Fav's are 5 Project Peeks~
How does it feel to get a flippin' blog "shout out" from your scrappin' design idol???? Well lets just say, it includes a *permaGRIN* on your face that makes your cheeks hurt! ;) The UBER talented and kewl Tim Holtz gave the Bad Girls Design Team the ultimate compliment today, and we're all over the flippin' Moon about it!! Thank You Tim!!! I can hardly wait to see the sneak peeks for his new products for CHA!!

I was so honored to be asked to guest design for Pencil Lines International Sketch Challenge Blog! This is my take on Sketch #117 by Michelle Filo I'm not a good at following rules ;) but this was so much fun! This site proves you don't have to follow sketches exactly, as their design team shakes it up every week with a new sketch! So if you need some layout inspiration, definitely check out Pencil Lines and Bookmark it! ;)

I did some Antique Shopping this week and found some super cool stuff that I can't wait to play with!!!! Since I love my "finds" so much these are my Friday Fav's this week. ;)
This must be a bill organizer of some kind, I don't know, all I know is it's going to look great in my scraproom and I KNOW I'll find some use for it......but it won't be for bills, they aren't allowed in my room ;)
This teeny tiny lil' cabinet is sooooo cute, I actually doubt it's that old but for $1.50 it's going to be home to all of my ATC card supplies! I can't wait to alter it!!!!
I *hEaRt* Vintage Children's storybooks! This one was so precious but half the book is missing so I know that some of these beautiful images will find there way to some spring scrapbook pages soon!!!
Okay this lil' guy is a FREAK, but I love him! I don't know why....I just had to have him.....not quite sure what I'm doing with him yet. ;)
My Ultimate find!!!! I simply *hEaRt* Funky Rings and this one was SCREAMING "buy me"......oh ya it's sooooooo mine.....love love love it!!
