Happy 4th of July! I hope everyone had a safe and happy holiday. I had a nice relaxing day, spent scrapbooking, shopping, working out, lounging in the pool and hanging out with family...just how I like it! My family has been painting the interior walls of the house all weekend, so when I don't have a roller in my hand, I'm sneaking off to work on scrapbook layouts because I can't seem to get enough! :)
Today I took advantage of Jo-Ann's 40% sale on clear stamps, so I bought two new sets that thrill me to no end! It really doesn't take much, I swear...hahah! You can see one of the ticket stamps on the layout above. By the way, driving a Smart Car is so much fun! I thought that a VW Bug was pushing the limits of smallness, but the Smart Car takes the cake. Just FYI, in case you were wondering, haha...
Here's a layout I did for the challenge group. The goal of this challenge was to incorporate 80% Hambly in your layout, so I did my best! I tend to be a Hambly hoarder (so I've noticed!) mainly because I'm in love with anything they make and also because, well...they're not super cheap. But I am DETERMINED to use my stash! I figure, there will always be something new and exciting just around the corner so I might as well use it up and enjoy it!
My boyfriend and brother were somehow capable of convincing me to buy them these raccoon skin caps at Disneyland last month. The photoshoots that ensued were worth every penny! I swear, these boys have me rolling on the floor with all their crazy antics...
Finally I have been creating headbands/ hair accessories like CRAZY! I literally filled this basket! I just took photos today, so be on the lookout for an etsy update in the next two days - wahoo! :)
Oh man, I am so happy to be back home after a VERY busy two days, spent furiously making more hair accessories and then organizing and selling them...phew! Paper Tales' Junque and Trunk Show was fun and inspiring and seriously exciting to shop at (see above and below)! It took my mom and I SIX hours to get to San Diego when in reality it should have only taken 2! Reminds me of going home for Thanksgiving this past fall - holy moly! But we made the best of it and I rekindled my love for San Diego.
The little details are always my favorite part of scrapbooking!
I was lucky to get a booth outside in the fresh air (I just wrote "hair" instead of "air"...is that a Freudian slip in marketing terms? haha!). So many vendors, such beautiful things.
Lots of Double Your Fun headbands!
All in all, it was a great experience and I got to see my favorite customer Gen!
