Happy Wednesday! It's the day each week when crafty folks the world over post a picture of their workspace, share a project or two, and then go look at everyone else's. (Well, at least some of them; the list is usually around 150+!) Visit Stamping Ground and take a look.
The only things in progress at the moment are the stack of thank you notes from kidlet's party. I typed up part of it and had her add a few words on the lines. It seems like thank you notes are going the way of the dodo bird, but I think it's a good tradition. I've got ballet pictures in a pile to the left from the recent recital and others in a pile to the right for other layouts. Hope to get a lot of scrapbooking done over the long weekend. :)
This layout shows off some of current favorite things: hearts & clouds washi tape, My Mind's Eye paper, and wood veneer embellishments.
I love misting the embellishments and then stamping on top with archival ink. This stamp is actually a Hero Arts heart (from the Four Hearts set), but since it is larger than the butterfly, I can use it as a background-type image, too.
Thanks for visiting!

Love the LO.
I always feel more inclined to give presents again if I got a thank you for the last one. It doesn't take much to send a thank you does it! I'm with you, it's a good tradition.

Oh wow - I love that butterfly!! In the first photo I noticed the little butterflies you have on your color board (is that what they are called). Yep, I'm a butterfly girl too!
Thanks for visiting me earlier this week. I'm running behind....
Hugs,

Love your layout especially the hand journalling, this is something that people don't do very often. Also the thank you's they seem to be a thing of the past, good on you for sending them, this is a must like replying to invitations. Oh and I also love that view out your window.
