Today over on the Bella Blvd blog it is my introduction day, along with the amazing Heather Leopard.
The first one is from the Family Forever collection
. This is one of my hands down, all time favorite collections. I love the colors, the theme, the elements, everything about this collection. I still have a few bits of this collection that I'm hoarding in my stash. I'm not sure if I'll ever bring myself to use them.
. I created this layout with engagement photos of my brother and his soon-to-be wife (although, they're married now and have the most perfect baby boy).

. I keep all the paper and embellishments in the same bag. I even throw my scraps into the same bag. I often find myself with lots of strips of patterned paper when I'm finished with a layout. Usually these strips are about an inch wide and between 10 and 12 inches long. While I was playing with the 
) down to 1 inch wide and then I cut them again into 1 inch squares. When I was finished I had a whole pile of 1 inch squares. I 
them to the background paper. I used a 
base for this layout instead of patterned paper. I wanted the squares to stand out instead of getting lost in a patterned paper background.
