Fatty <3

Ohmygoodness! I started this little scrapbook as a mini-album but it quickly turned into a fatty album :) This album was really hard for me to start because I knew that I wanted it to be PERFECT! I like my projects to reflect my emotions about them. The RVA Craft Weekend was such an amazing, and inspiring time, that I was almost afraid the book wouldn't live up to the weekend. I had the pictures, the paper dolls that I bought for it, some supplies and the papers picked out and sitting in a box ever since I came home from the trip but I just couldn't get myself motivated to create the book.
Last week, though, that changed. Miss Holly posted a mini album that she created about her trip to RVA a couple of weeks ago. She used a lot of the same papers and supplies that I had already picked out (smart minds think alike). I loved the shape of her book and the theme and it really pushed my motivation into gear. Last night (and this morning) was so full of inspiration from the Blog Party going on over HERE, that it helped me crank the whole thing out in one night!
Annnnnnnnnnnd...here it is:































I think it is Holy Cute!! I love it and I am proud of it and I feel that it will definitely serve it's purpose as a happy memory keeper. Thank you for checking it out!!
loves

  14. Love how the album turned out. The photos are amazing. When scrapbooking, I have trouble with making my layouts look too busy. I need to simplify with style. Need to take lessons from you.
