Some new LOs

Here's my first two reveals for April for Scraplovers.  This month we were sponsered by 7 gypsies and we got to work with their new Nottinghill line.  Love this line...the papers are gorgeous.  You can find them here.  

One last LO...and a letter

Ok, here is my last LO for the April kit from Coconut ScrapShop.  (But I still have lots left, and I make some cards or something).  It is much more simple than the others.

And here is what I did with the awesome dome ring.  I have to apologize though because I just could not get any decent pictures.  I wrapped a letter inside the ring to give away.  You could do this with invitations, letters, flowers, whatever you want.

The ring itself, I painted pink (just the inside of the ring) and put a green flower rub-on on top.  Here's a close up of the ring, but again, the picture is really bad...sorry.

Aprils Kit at the Coconut Scrapshop

So I got the April kit from Coconut ScrapShop on Saturday...and it is AWESOME!!!  Here are the first three layouts I made with the kit.  I hope to post more tonight or tomorrow.

I really had a lot of fun with it.  :)  **Oh and don't forget, if you haven't already got the kit and you are a first-time buyer...you can get the kit for only $15 (which is an amazing deal!)...by using the code "firsttimebuy1" at check out.   

A New Tradition

This year for Easter we were given a gift.  It was the book "Benjamin's Box" and the Resurrection Eggs.  We had never seen these before and were very blessed by them.  If you haven't heard of them, you should check them out.  Anyways, we decided we should make this a tradition for our family.  Every Easter we will read the book and open the eggs.  Once the boys are older we can take more time to reflect.  This got me thinking about traditions.  When did we start doing things a certain way?  Sometimes we document a tradition that we have, but we rarely seem to know when it started...which of course made me think that I should document the start of this new tradition...so here it is: 

There is a fun little crease in the page because the boys left a toy car on the stairs...and my clumbsy self fell down the stairs holding my page.  Can you believe it?  I am just glad it didn't get more ruined then it did.  I did this LO with my first Scarlet Lime kit (LOVE IT!!!)  

New MB!

There is a new scrapbooking message board up and running.  I am helping to start it.  I will have monthly sketches and additional challenges on it too.  :)  So come check it out!!!  You will find it here!  (And spread the word for me)  

Inspiration is EVERYWHERE!!!

Where do you find your inspiration?  Only in things that are strictly scrapbooking related like in online galleries or scrapbooking mags?  I challenge you to look all around you...you will find inspiration...maybe even in the craziest of places.   Like, perhaps, a dirty, unfinished bathroom wall.  :)  That is what I did.  

Here is what inspired me:

Crazy, but true.  I looked at it several times and a scrapbook page was always crying out to me.  LOL...maybe that means I am mentally ill.   :)  Nah...  Here is the page I created:

And, not as impressive...but something else I was inspired by was the television.  Actually if I sit and watch commercials or intros to show, I can almost always find inspiration for scrapbooking.  When I would watch America's Next Top Model...I always thought the intro section would make for a great page.  Finally, I just did it.  

And the LO:

What is the craziest thing you have been inspired by?  If you don't usually do so, take time this week to look around you at ordinary things for inspiration with your scrapbooking. :)
