Here in Sofia, Bulgaria, the center of the city has a yellow brick road.  My daughter, being a fan of the Wizard of Oz, loves this stretch of road and wants to have her photo taken there every time we are there.

Bottoms Up Layout with Alyssa McGrew

Today's 12x12 layout comes from Alyssa McGrew. I love how she uses our pennant labels to build layers into her layout - they are so much more affordable than the stickers out on the market and you can print or stamp anything you like on them.

It seems that Alyssa's daughter has found even milk to be a special treat when enjoyed from a pretty glass.

Framed Winter Decor with Andrea Amu

Andrea Amu

This project uses the same easel frame concept that Andrea used around the holidays for her Christmas decor.

Again she  removed the glass from her  frame and inserted an embossed 5x5 cardstock base to embellish for an updated Wintery theme.  

For this framed decor she used a variety of Curtsey Boutique notions including, mini glitter snowflakes, white felt doilies and baker's twine.

Project Life Week #1 with CarrieAnne

Week #1 Project Life Layout
Curtsey Botuique Designer
CarrieAnne DeLoach

 One of my New Year's resolutions is to successfully complete a Project Life album this year.  One thing that has always gotten in my way in the past is my dislike of my handwriting. I could of course print everything on the computer, but that has a tendancy to stop my momentum and than the layout stalls and than it just doesn't get finished.

So this year, I've decided to get over it - my handwriting, is my handwriting and that's that!  I love how easy our shipping tags make journaling and there are a few of them and our mini library cards on this layout.

This week was quite busy for us as we had out of town family visiting, a trip to a friends for New Year's Dinner, unpacking tons of boxes at our new house, football bowl games to watch and a trip to the Varsity - an Atlanta diner that is a landmark.
