YAY!!! New Supplies

So finally the new items CHA convention are rolling in! I have sooo much stuff on pre-order and I'm just so excited to get it all. These are new 12x12 papers from My Minds Eye and a new company that I've never worked with before, Bella Blvd. The colors and patterns are great and I'm so excited to play around with them.

and a New Layout

Today I also got a chance to work on another layout for myself. When I create for my own books, I like to work in the 8x8 size. I think it's just enough room to show case a single picture, some embellishments and a bit of journaling. This picture was taken this summer. My son had spotted this newly hatched (if that's what they do) butterfly right next to our back door. Of course, being a scrapbooker, I had to grab the camera... You know what they say, If it's not in the scrapbook, then it didnt happen!
