alwayz for life....

wanted to share a layout that i finally completed the other day.
been working on this since winter break as you know.
if you want to know how to create the cool flowers, go to this tutorial.

anyhoo...
here's the scrappy page i made...
it's of me & my sissie...

and for the cool close-ups...

used the cocoa daisy kit "bed & breakfast."
add'l supplies:  martha stewart punch, twine, jesse James & Co buttons, sharpie & uniball signo pens, daisyd rub-on stitch.
just had to doodle-stitch on those jillibean letter stickers for the final touch on my LO.
have i already told you that i love, love, love the amy tangerine line by american crafts?
i know have and just wanted to sweetly repeat that.

hoping to get some more scrappy time this weekend.
at least some form.
just a lil secret:
i've actually just finished taking pix for my own version of "week in the life."
my version:  "week in MY life."
just need to upload, order.
hmmm...
i think i might just at least start creating the pages.
and once those are done, i'll just add the photos.
i'll share in the later future or whenever i get it finished.
gonna take my time....
la-la-la-la...

hope you have a wonderful weekend.

cut strips, 1/4" x 2 ":

adhere strips by stacking them in a crisscross manner:
