get it scrapped!: crop combinations

we have another article up at get it scrapped!  it's "crop combinations that get both detail and context on your scrapbook pages."  it's a really good one; i thoroughly enjoyed reading it.  did i mention how much i'm loving stripes for journaling these days?  i'm also enjoying doing a few pages from new toys.  it's fun actually using the new stuff so i can allow myself to buy a bit more.  the supply list and my thoughts about this page are in the article, so i won't repeat them here, but i did want to mintion that i tinted all the wooden elements with my jbs ink pads.  love that look.

and the journaling for my sister - i've heard some people say they think hotels are icky.  well, i think they're divine.  what's not to love about clean sheets that you didn't have to wash?  no housework staring you in the face.  in fact, no responsibilities whatsoever other than getting a good night's rest.  i love them.  a hotel stay means i don't have to drive all day and i get to sit in a soft bed surfing the net or reading a good book and, of course, spending time with my favorite guy.
