So sorry for the long silence, we have been away from a much needed break. Lots of sunshine and sea breeze later, I feel so much more relax and sane.

I'll be sharing my december assignments for Your Scrapbook Stash in the next few post. December also marks the end of my DT term for YSS. It has been a wonderful year working with the team and Erica. I thank a very generous Erica for giving me the chance to work with so many lovely products. I had a great time. Don't forget to look out for the new team at YSS.

I been drooling at the lovely altered notepads over at Nichole's blog. They looked like the perfect Chirstmas gifts. Too bad I couldn't locate the notepads she used but I did manage to find some smaller notepads that worked just as well for my design. The papers from Graphic 45 Domestic Goddess line are great for the notebooks. I can just see them being used for recipes, shopping list etc.

I am so excited that my little album has been featured at Creative Mini Albums blog !! Go check it out :) Can you tell that I'm jumping with joy.

Here's a little album that I put together. It started with the left over Prima packaging that are now the covers of the album. They were just too pretty to throw away. Then I discovered that they were a perfect 4X6". The Purple Onion stamp was a perfect fit so I stamped it on a piece of leftover scrapbook paper and things just fell in place. The set of photos I used were all printed last year when my younger son was still a tiny baby. The photos needed a home instead of the bag that it came in from the photo print shop. I gathered my papers (from Far Flung Craft), Chipboards (GDC studios, Making Memories), stickers (Making Memories, 7G) and a bunch of my stamps and started working.

I totally "heart" the results. Now my photos have a home and they look so loved . So do you have a neglected stack of photos sitting on your desk ? Maybe it's time to dust the dust balls off and be inspired.

Have a great weekend.



Side view - I like the goodies peeking out.
