I'm Lovin' It Monday

I don't know how the release slipped by me, but I am lovin' the new Heather Ross line, Far Far Away. I love her whimsical take on some of my favorite classic story tales like the Princess and the Pea and the Frog Prince.

What else am I lovin'? I am lovin' Que Sera Sera by K & Company, but good luck finding it anywhere but online (but if you do, pick up one for me too). It is so popular that it flew out of all of our local Michaels Stores but it is definitely worth the extra shipping!

The papers are just gorgeous and some of the jewel tones they use are just dazzling. Complete with some glitter and texture, you will need very little in the way of embellishments!

I'm Lovin' It Monday

Okay, how can you NOT be lovin' this dress from Downeast Basics? I immediately fell in love with the Plaza Dress! Fun tuxedo ruffle, polka dots, coordinating buttons and belt in a contrasting color.....I'm sold. But what makes this dress even better is that it is $9.99 right now. Wanna know something more? You can get an additional 30% off by entering the promo code SPRINGSALE....that makes it $6.99 . For me, my grand total for one dress WITH shipping was $12.94.

They must have just found a stash of these in storage since it was from their holiday 2007 line. I love that the two color choices offer completely different looks. Teeny black and white polka dots or large cider colored spots with the great purple accents! So, I bought them both for less then the price of what you could get a dress for on sale for at Target! Now, if they only sold that great yellow bag.....

Let's move on now for what I am lovin' for my crafting. I just love these sentiment flashcards from 7 Gypsies, what a fun addition to any layout or album. And this Birds Of A Feather chipboard set from Maya Road is just so inspiring, you will want to add one to every project!

Thursday Thought and the Festival of the Arts

"My heart will take me to the top or take me to the bottom,

My heart will determine where my final destination is going to be"

Our Stake Relief Society is having a Festival of Arts Show featuring different artists interpretation of the theme, "The Lord Looketh Upon The Heart" based on 1 Samuel 16:7: "for the Lord seeth not as man looketh on the outward appearance, but the Lord looketh on the heart."

I immediately knew I wanted to do a scrapbook style layout for this project but I had been seeking inspiration on how to pull that off. Afterall, it didn't seem to right to put a picture of how we see each other on the outside on a layout meant to express that we are truly judged and seen by what is inside. Then it came to me that it shouldn't be so much of a standard photograph but an expression, a reflection of the heart and I thought of my favorite photo of Jonas and started cropping and printing it different ways. I was relieved that it all came together like I pictured it in my head (which isn't always the case) and I can't wait to see all of the other entries!

Floppy Disk Album-Done at Last!

At last my floppy disk albums are done! I made four of these for the Relief Society Presidency, I hope they enjoy flipping through it and reflecting on its message. I think we all need visual reminders at times so that we don't forget what is important as we get caught up in the craziness of our everday lives
