peek inside Grandma's Dresser

.
.
.
Happy Friday everyone! I am so excited to show you what I have today.
This one is very near and dear to my heart... it is a kit that was inspired by my own dear gram. She is such an amazing grandma, and has been on my mind alot lately. Living so far away from her I don't get to see her as much as I'd like.

So if you are looking for a sweet & pretty kit that's versatile enough to use for lots of layouts... this is your kit. It is filled with fresh geometric & lovely floral prints, pretty vintage ephemera and bright retro pop elements, this kit will be a happy addition to any scrapper's stash! So grab your pics of that perfect spring day or of everyday ordinary day; or how about pictures of grandma playing cards, or the ones of your latest thrift store adventures! Just let your creative visions run free!

Journal It: right here, right now.

"Journal It" is where you can find help with journal inspiration or where you can find a quote that you can use on about on almost ANY layout. I hope this will help to inspire you. You could use the prompts in many different ways... you might use the prompt on your layout and stop right there, you may not need to journal more... Whereas other times these prompts might inspire you to write about something even deeper. Feel free to check out this weeks prompt below. If you missed any, you can check out any previous prompts too. Be sure to check in each Monday for a new journaling prompt!

The prompt is another one that you will be able to use on pretty much ANY layout.

Today's Prompt is: right here, right now.

This could really help to transport you to being in that moment.

How could you use this prompt? You could:
1) Add this sentiment on your page. Even just this will make you connect with living in this moment. OR
2) Add this sentiment on your page, AND, perhaps even WHAT is so special about this moment "right here, right now". Does it bring you back to that moment in time? Could it inspire you you to live in that moment? Does it remind you of anything in that moment? What about what you were feeling?

See where this can take you?

For example: I was doing a layout with pictures of my son and I hugging and snuggling, and just being silly. But this prompt made me dig deeper. What was I feeling? What was going on right then? Feelings came rushing back... thinking about how fast time goes by, how big my boy has gotten, not wanting to miss out on any hugs. sniff sniff. It meant so much more. Check out my layout:

I'd LOVE to see if you decide to play along with me...

Check out two of my new goodies for you today. The first is a template set based off one of my scrap idols, Courtney (cnscrap). Seriously... i want to scrap like her when I grow up. Go check out her gallery to be inspired. And to make it easy, I created 4 templates based off of her layouts to make scrapping a breeze!

Plus, I have another new product out today. "What a Character", perfect for capturing those sweet photos of your daughter meeting her favorite princess, creating an autograph book or you just have a bunch of funny "characters" in your family, you'll be set!
