inspire me!

just a few days before Christmas,

and I needed some inspiration!

does anyone else feel that way!?

this time of the year it gets so busy,

and the last thing on my mind is

scrapping! even though, I really

want to do it! my daughter, Madison,

celebrated her 7th birthday a few

days ago. I rarely ever take photos

and print them the same day, but

I really wanted to scrap, and I

needed the inspiration of those

freshly taken photos. those photos

paired with some bright, fun patterned

paper made for a great combination!

I loved how well the socialite paper

went with my new pictures of Madison.

and you know what is even better? when

the patterned paper provides you with

this perfect frame for your layout. I

have always loved this paper, and have

used it multiple times, but never get

tired of it. the gorgeous colors, along

with the perfect frame. can't beat it.

so, I was screaming out for some

inspiration, and it came to me in the

form of some fresh photos, and some

gorgeous paper trunk papers. :)
