Paper Issues January Sketch

Sliding home for Paper Issue's January sketch. I have very few photos of myself growing up, so this one of my dad on his birthday and I is extra special. I guess I *really* wanted to wear his birthday hat!

I have really been trying to power down on using up the 3 Amy Tangerine paper pads I bought from Tuesday Morning a couple of months ago. They are so easy to coordinate. They work well together, but also easily stand out!

Scraplift Sunday at Paper Issues

I apparently took LOTS of photos on our most recent Tucson trip (I just love this city!), and I had three remaining that were unscrapped. I used the scraplift sketch, turned it on its side, and voilà! Officially Tucson done!

Nerd for a day...

Stepping aside from the holidays, here's a layout from the epic Friends of the Library book sale last year in downtown Seattle. I found some bargains to read, and some gorgeous rares with which to decorate! I've been on a Joanna Gaines kick (because really, who hasn't?), so I knew I wanted some books with gorgeous covers to go in my bookshelf. Because who uses their bookshelf for actual reading books, right? (As mine currently live in my reading corner) I ended up lugging literal POUNDS of books in bags across downtown... Definitely felt like a nerd that day!
