Scrapbooking Expo







All of you know my love for paper crafting...yesterday Krystel and I went to the Scrapbook Expo and we had lots of fun looking at ideas from favorite vendors and lots of new ones. For a year or so I contemplated the idea of buying  Sweet Tooth Boxes and The Flower Shoppe cartridge for the Cricut machine. With the first you can make all kind of little boxes for all type of treats, like cookies, cupcakes and the one I posted here for a cake slice...The second is for flower making and awww....it is so much fun...a cute daisy, vintage flowers and several other ideas. They were both $ 21 each at the Expo...we got both...We had a great time together and my daughter had her first experience watching ladies carrying tons of bags or the ones that carry their baby and use the stroller to transport all their bags..A lot of times you can be admiring a display and a complete stranger will start sharing all their projects with the same stamp set, cartridge or paper , and that is what is fun at the expo...I proudly ended the evening with just 2 new cartridges...a first for me,  i can't possible bring more paper home...This year is all about using what I have. But we both came home with tons of ideas and full of inspirations...

Butterflies





My fav of the moment are butterflies...I see more and more of them in the craft world. Love the butterfly punch from Martha Stewart and also the butterflies on the "Serenade" Cricut cartridge.
