Finally posting something creative

Somewhere in the last few posts I mentioned that with the business and a very active 3 year old, I don't get to scrap as much as I'd like.  But I set aside one day a month and thats MY day.  I take off for 12 hours and spend time with friends.  I usually talk more than I scrap.  I was actually productive this month!

Just a few of the things I got done: (please excuse the funny lighting on these.  our weather is has been off for this time of year and we've had a marine layer every day)

Summer Mini (started)  I used a combination of papers from Echo Park, October Afternoon and Little Yellow Bicycle.


My favorite part of the LYP line was the 10 Things I love about summer pocket and tabs.  We are sold out of it in the store and since this is a seasonal release we cannot order anymore.  HOWEVER, this is one of those things that you can easily recreate with papers and any kind of sticker number!  Some ideas for cute pockets are the Maya Road Kraft envelopes.  We just stocked up on those because we know you love them!


And some layouts.  This is based on a sketch by Julie Bonner:



Based on a Sketch from Sketch Inspiration


A baby frame made for a friend (We don't sell this line from My Minds Eye but I couldn't resist a few pieces from it)




OC Fair using Hipstamatic prints and some Studio Calico exclusive papers.  I added one of those Maya Road kraft envelopes to this layout to hold all of the ride tickets we had left.


Lastly, a layout from my Chicago trip this Summer.  Mom and I stopped by the Bean on our quick city tour.  I was fascinated with this and wish there was one in NYC.
