Thankful

Well, here it is - the layout to go with my word for the year. You can tell I am already much more focussed on living by my word seeing that it only took me two days into the year to actually create this layout :)

I guess right now I am thankful for being creative and inspired.

Of course I used the papers and cardstock from my {{January Kit}} and I surprised myself at how well I am dealing with the "pinkness"....you see, even though I love the colour pink, I have a hard time scrapping it - not this time though.

Whimsey winnings ;)

You know that I have found a new love, right? The fabulous buttons and pins from {{ My Little Bit Of Whimsey }} - and just recently, owner Stephanie had a lil' giveaway on her blog - and I won...YAY me.

{{ This }} selection of lushness is sitting pretty on my desk, waiting to become part of my cards and layouts *swoon*

You should go have a gander around her shop, because the buttons are just so divine! And the pins....don't start me on the pins - especially {{ this one }}
