Happy Wednesday Everyone!
First of all, the giveaway below is still open. Leave a comment on the post before this one, and I will draw the winners Thursday night.
Next, I wanted to share some of the new goodies that my favorite companies are debuting here very soon at CHA winter!
You will notice these layouts are different from my "normal" layouts...single, oversized photos...some computer journaling. It's because I did these layouts to be considered for display in the manufacturer booths at CHA.
And no, I don't only take photos of Harper, although you wouldn't know it from these layouts. HA!
Unfortunately, Sadie rarely (if ever) looks at the camera. And I wanted photos with eye contact for these layouts... She's SO not into it. So I don't really bother her much. It's totally not worth it. TeeeeHeee!
So, first up is Studio Calico's new release, Anthology. It's just lovely. Fresh, chic, cool...all those things that SC does so well.
Note, there are bits and pieces of other lines thrown in. Both layouts have a bit of Home Front, and the bottom has BasicGrey pink paper and flowers.
Next is one of the new releases from Lily Bee, Hello Sunshine. Kristen told me to go ahead and share this layout.
This line was so much fun to play with. Bright, happy, sunshiney, and with a vintage edge. The name describes it perfectly!
I'm still waiting on rubons, and alpha, and some awesome embellishments to come my way!
The alphas here are by American Crafts and the pearls are BasicGrey, but everything else is Lily Bee. Isn't it so pretty?
That's it for today...I've been creating like a madwoman. Staying up waaaay too late, but it's SO much fun!
Hope you all have a beautiful day! xoxo
total loveliness. will i get to see your smiling face at CHA again this time? xo

This is my first visit to your site ... I enjoyed browsing through it a lot. I´m an international reader from Belgium, who wishes to find some of the scrapbooking spirit that you have in the US over here in Europe:)

Thank you for beautifying my day :)
Posted by: Avital | 01/13/2010 at 03:52 PM
Lovin' all the colors! I hear you about the layouts all being one child- I have two boys and it seems like every year or so there are a ton of photos of one child and the next year it will switch. If you looked at my photos chronologically it would seem like the boys rotated in and out of the house and were only fleetingly in the house at the same time. It would also seem like I take about 50x more photos of the cats than I do the kids. Wait, that may be true, the kittens never fuss when I get out the camera- and they even pose for me.

Beautiful work! I have a question for you...how do you display your pages on your blog? Do you take a picture of them and then crop it or do you scan your layouts? Thanks so much for sharing! Love your blog.
