pleasant surprise.

Last weekend I got a random visit from my sister. <> with the Past several Studio Calico

Kits in hand. Ready to work on her project life. It. Was. AWESOME. I owe a lot to her, she's the reason I started scrapbooking 8 years ago when all we knew was Becky Higgins and square frames. Finally I had something to do with all of the art supplies I'd been collecting and hoarding for years. <> Amber is a fantastic person to get scrappy with bc she loves collecting product...and even better, she cheers when I use it. Anyhow, random i know. But this is a shout out, bc she's cool as hell. #totalopposites

Here's my fun from the night:

the other night I couldn't sleep. It's been insane in my head and after starting a few things that probably won't get finished, I got my Scrapjacked on.

The way Maggie Holmes uses white and throws color and puts product together makes me smile. Plus I have handwriting envy. BIG TIME.

Here's the JACK:

And the little details:

Arrow stamps are my new obsession too. the ones used on this page

are from Cocoa Daisy, Studio Calico and Amercian Crafts.

I'd look good as a Jones.

In keeping up with the jones's, I am caught up on project life.

Truth is, I enjoy the process of playing with art supplies and seeing the end result..and after that it's just a matter of adding photos. It helps me focus on what's really important right now, per day. Per week. Last year didn't fly past the same way others have, and I wish SO MUCH that it was something I had already been doing for years.

Here's Week 2:

"today I am" stamp is from Cocoa Daisy, the 2013 is some "paper" I made playing w cool fonts, tiny text from Cosmo Cricket
Here's Week 3:

Hodgepodge of wording. All from magazines/books. Paper love: fancy pants, studio calico, bo bunny, American crafts. man I love patterned paper. Lots of natures this week, lots of quiet mellow spaces.
Here's Week 4:

This week was a quick one to finish.

Probably 20 mins at most. stayINSPIED xoxoTIFF
