Who's in with me?? Em? Nik? Aimee?

Hop over to CATHY Z's blog and DOWNLOAD HER TAG TEMPLATES and let's get started!! How much do I love thee, Cathy Z? Aimee....what if she SITS BY US AT INSPIRED?!?! Can you stand it? I cannot.

Perfect way to celebrate MARCH!! Going to go with my new SCENIC ROUTE Lynden papers (thank you, again and again, Chiara!) and lots of BUTTERFLIES (my latest obsession) - Heidi Swapp ghosts and the Martha Classic punch (oh dear...do I need to go get the ROYAL BUTTERFLY punch too?). Gotta figure out a good TITLE stamp....in the meantime....here is what I have assembled thus far.......wish you were here with me to get started!

For my scrappin' pals!

I have to say....this is my favorite of late. The pic of the roses? Taken with my CAMERA PHONE at work. They were three lovely shades of PINK...beautiful. xo Have been HOARDING this paper for eons...love the way it turned out. (Note: Heidi Swapp chipboard alphabet letters have the WORST adhesive. This was a brand new package - love the color and the font...but the adhesive was completely dried out. Had to peel it off to get my tape runner to adhere to the raw chipboard. Not good!)

Diggin' Paper Flowers.

Have you seen these at Target in the scrappin' aisle? A whole tablet of punch-outs---bright colors - different patterns on each side....I want to plant them in pots and line them up in a row somewhere....for now..this yellow duo made it to a page for our Two of Us book (diggin' the FauxtoBooth strips, too, Art Journal Army brat that I am!)

Sidebar please.

Yes--I need one of those cool sidebars with "scrap- book pages" so I can get a nice GRID of these going.... I'll get right on that. In the meantime... here you go, Nik!! More layouts. {Is it wrong to love the PAPER more than the pictures? I am guilty. Loving this Scenic Route "Loveland Garnet Street" paper on the "Together" page - one side is that fuschia swirl and the other all hearts.}

And I again apologize for the crappy photo quality of these pages. Will somebody please explain to me why I did NOT get the printer/scanner that can do 12x12 pages? Anybody?

For Niki!

Love you, too, Niki and Max!! xoxoxox

thanks for the VALENTINES xoxo!
