Dear Lizzy

I have a running list of pages that I want to complete, and slowly I'm crossing them off. (This weekend I plan on getting at least three done - including the one I just finished: that means two more to go!) It makes me happy to see progress; already this year I've created more layouts than I did last year, and we're no where near the end! I'm also trying to stay current, I have only one (thanks to the last Monday Challenge) layout that I need to finish from a few months ago - from our New Years celebration.

This layout, one of my 25th birthday, started coming together Monday. It was almost finished that night, I just needed to print my journalling and get a 4x6 printed. With my three layout goal in mind, I printed my journalling at work (shhh!) and stopped by Walmart on my way home and printed off my photo. Quickly I finished the layout when I got home.

Journalling says: My 25th - scrapbooking tool, book and container; potluck I organized at work; 25 perfect roses (same kind as when Justin proposed); dinner at BP's and a complimentary dish of ice cream; cards and lots of money; a fantastic cake; a scrapbook cart; spending time with family - the perfect day!

Again, I love that Tickled Spring kit I put together. (I'm mostly done my May kit, and have a beginning on the June kit too). I'm very happy my local scrap store had the Dear Lizzy line when I was putting the April kit together; the patterns are just too pretty, and worked well with my pictures recently. I've never been so excited about a release before; I diligently follow Elizabeth Kartchner's blog, and snoop at every site for a glimpes of the product line (especially the American Crafts blog)!

Seriously, the fabric papers make me so happy. They are the stickiest things I've ever used. The only problem (which isn't a problem since I have a solution) is the fact that my glue squares don't stick to the top of them - but I just use glue.

Hope this gives you a jolt of spring inspiration! What layouts are you working on?
