Having Fun Scrapping...

I've been having a lot of fun scrapbooking this year. It is my goal to get more done during 2010 than I did during 2009. (That wouldn't be too difficult, to be honest.)

One of the things that is helping me meet my goal is that I am using some great resources that I have online, like the Page Maps, that Becky Fleck posts each month. She has some great sketches and they make my creativity really "click". This week I noticed a new sketch that she had posted on the Page Maps Blog for a contest. When I saw it, I knew exactly what I wanted to do!

Here's the resulting page:

Isn't it a FUN page??? All of the cute designer papers are from the new Stampin' Up! Sweet Pea collection. They have such a fun look and it is so easy to mix and match them. When I saw the pink and white paper that I used for the base of this layout, they just screamed "Country Girl" to me. The journaling block is one of the die cuts that is available in the Write Stuff Specialty papers. I love those things! They make it so easy to get my journaling on a page and I think that sharing your thoughts are so important to a finished layout.

I added some baby rickrack, buttons from my stash and a title that I cut from Chocolate Chip cardstock using my Cricut. It all went together to create a fun country looking layout that I simply adore!
