I AM A PAPER ADDICT...I AM A PAPER ADDICT...I AM A PAPER ADDICT...

I admit it...I.am.a.paper.addict. I wonder if there is a 12-step program out there for me. Here are some pics of some fabulous papers I scored this weekend from American Crafts, Autumn Leaves, Basic Grey, Crate Paper, and Luxe Designs (these were in addition to the awesome DCWV Green Stack I picked up). Oh paper heaven! Be sure to peruse their site links for sooo many inspirations and fun ideas.

I have my hands full with enough paper for a million projects...now to work on those two extras days per week! I used the first three papers for my daughter's second birthday party decorations - folded paper cranes out of the two-sided papers and made other decos with them as well...it was a bird/owl theme - WHO's TWO? It turned out better than expected. The two Basic Grey papers I used were from Urban Prairie. Enjoy the eye candy!

New Blog Obsession - Addicted to Tutus and Glue Dots

So I stumbled upon this blog today and I am now an addict. LOVE, LOVE, LOVE her style and I'm stunned at how her daughter resembles me as a kid in some of my photos and somewhat of my niece Francesca (cue Twilight Zone music)...it's really quite eerie.

Anyway, this woman (Michelle Lanning) has an innate sense of quirky style that I find in my own work and really has an eye for color and pattern (two thumbs up from a graphic designer here). Be sure to check out Tutus & Glue Dots here - maybe you'll find some evening eye candy and scrappy inspiration as I did.

Keep up the fantastically inspiring work, Michelle - I am now an addicted subscriber to your posts and anxiously await your next.
