Just playing with paper.

Paper is my favorite!

While I was in California I stopped by Paradise Scrapbook Boutique and picked up the new Dream Street Paper line called, Sam.

I love the colors in the line.  So versatile…my first glimpse of fall.

I love the little owls…the matching chipboard die cuts…the rub-ons.

I especially love that this line was perfect for the photo I took of my kids just a few days ago.

There you have it.  The first layout I have created since moving to Idaho.

I love paper.

I was so inspired by THIS Spring layout class that Karen designed for her store, Paradise Scrapbook Boutique.

I loved how Karen used the new Dream Street paper and the way she used a die cut on cardboard. Fab.u.lous!

I totally scrap-lifed the idea (and the paper) to make my Spring Wall-Hanging.

One of the reasons I love taking classes and going to crops is that I come away with so many crazy-good ideas.  The women that I scrapbook with are so creative.  Yes my fellow scrapbookers, you inspire me and for this…I thank you.

I came up with another little Paris themed wall-hanging for one of my Graphic 45 projects.  I’ll share it as soon as I take photos.

Do you go to local scrapbooking stores to crop?  Do you come away feeling inspired?  I sure do!

I created a new banner for my blog a few days ago….here’s a little peak at what’s to come.

What do you think?
