Inspiration Layout

Heather (from Scrapbook Bakery), has been doing a series of "inspired by" cards and layouts on her blog. She is calling it "30 Days of Inspiration" and it is full of great ideas. HERE is a link back to Day 1, which also explains how you can win prizes. When you get to Day 23, let me know if you love it as much as I do. (I think it is absolutely adorable.)

While you're there, be sure to check out my layout and read about how I was inspired. Heather has the full page and instructions on her blog, but I'll post a small peek here:

Now, go check it out! HERE is the direct link.

Sharing the February Scrapbook Bakery Kit

I wanted to share a few of my samples from the February "Love Is In The Air" kit from Scrapbook Bakery.

First, here is the kit (love the Heidi Swapp heart paper!):

Here's a layout I created using it:

I need to add some journaling, but I haven't figured out what to write yet. Here's a detail shot:

Here is a little tin from the kit that I decorated:

I'm going to give it to Daisy today. Then I'll give her a note to go in it each day (with a piece of candy attached). I have 14 notes, so there is one for each day leading up to Valentine's day. Each one lists something I love about her:

And finally, here is a little card I can attach to a Valentines gift:

Designing For: Scrapbook Bakery

I wanted to do a quick post to let you all know I'm going to do some design work for the Scrapbook Bakery Heather Ruwe is the owner, and I had no idea she was nervous to ask me about designing with her kits until I read about it on her blog. How cute! (Heather, I swear I am just a regular ol' girl who likes to scrapbook -- nothing intimidating here!) I think it will be tons of fun, so I'm looking forward to it. If you haven't checked out her blog before, you definitely should, because she is super creative. I absolutely want to try this idea with the crayons and I love this layout with the sunshine and clouds.
