How does this happen?!

Hello! Don't mind the post title; I'm just trying to solve one of the earth's mysteries...  Not the meaning of life or why are we here, but how can I use so many of my supplies and still have a mountain of things there when I'm done?!  I would pack my bags and seek enlightenment elsewhere, but I'm pretty sure this is what is referred to as a 'first world problem'. wink!

But seriously, I packed my supplies for the crop I attended recently and was thinking  that this is such a great way to use up some of my things.  If I don't have the entire stash at my fingertips, I have to use what is there.  Somehow, even though I used what I brought, I still ended up bringing a lot of it back! Now, granted there were attendance prizes, a gently used sale, and a silent auction... Hmmm...this might have something to do with my mystery!  I can say that I did use quite a few of my new goodies immediately which worked out really well when I realized I did not bring nearly enough embellishments. OK! Enough of my pseudo-problems and on with the pages!


Again, super simple and featuring another tag topper!
No new goodies on this page!


I used three of my freebie flowers that were in my 
goody bag at the table. Great to have something
that works so well with what I'm making!  Don't you
just love DD's face in the middle photo?!

I hope that my super simple scrapbooking is encouraging you to do a bit more creating yourself.  And if you ever find out why a crafter with waaaay too many supplies continues to buy more as she complains about too much stuff-then you have REALLY solved a mystery!  Thanks so much for stopping by!

Scrapbook Wednesday- New Toys

Welcome! I hope your new year is off to a wonderful start!  My January has been a little sluggish as far as creativity goes.  There were so many things I needed to do and craft time was put on the back burner.  As a result, my first attempt of scrapbooking this year was not exactly what I had pictured in my mind.  I was excited however to have the chance to play with some new toys.  




The cork flowers and twine are a sneak peek at some Sale-a-bration goodies, and the tag punch is a new item from the Celebrate the Everyday occasions catalog.  If you would like to check out the catalog, I have a link on the side of my blog.

I really like my new goodies, but should have planned out my flower placement a little better before sticking them on my page...  But, I now have another page completed and I'm sure my daughter isn't going to be too upset that it's not perfect.  I'm really trying to focus on the simple aspects of things this year and a finished imperfect page is better than photos in a box!

I hope you have a great day and thanks so much for stopping by!
