Travel Diaries: Miami for Scrap Pink

Jet-setting again this weekend for Miami to visit with Amy, hubs-to-be's co-consipirtor in the proposal (expect the post with that story later this weekend) and one of my favorite "met on the internet and realized I absolutely adored her in real life" people.

We are planning partaking in this year's Scrap Pink event at a local store down in Miami (my local store was already full by the time I got the flyer about the event). This is one of my favorite events, possibly because I love the idea of artists coming together for a great cause. Plus last year it was one of my first crops ever (!) and I learned so much. I'm very proud that I've got all my scrap stuff in one bag this year to travel with (granted I can't take my trimmer or my scissors on the plane so cutting down on those tools saves space).

I picked up this great bag at Target last week just for my jet-set trips to visit Amy to scrap. I wish it held a little bit more, but it's probably for the best that I somewhat limit what I drag around with me. I'm hoping to get a good number of LOs done for the C2P Inspriation Squad as well as some things accomplished for the Scavenger Project.

Make sure you check back this weekend though, I'll have a few posts scheduled to go up while I'm traveling. Have a great weekend!

Scavenger ago

As a quick update...I'm going out on a limb and joining up with the Art House Co-op Scavenger Project (which is being done with my girly Erin, over at Design for Mankind). I'm a little nervous but excited at the same time to see what kind of scrapbooking success I can muster out of this. Who knows? All I know is that it should be fun.

There are still some spaces left if you are interested in joining in on the fun. Plus you can watch the progress through the flickr group, if you are just interested in cheering on the participators (like me!).

Also, we've got to give some love to one of my favorite designers, James aka Decor Fellow. He's just released his own mag, Fellow* and it's fantastic and completely 100% worth the read. Tons of goodies. I love that he's focusing on design for "the high and the low", and how he honestly believes that finances shouldn't stop you from living fabulously (my kind of guy!).

Finally for viewing pleasure a few of my more recent (and loved) LOs. I've got a few more that need to be photographed as well, so expect those soon. All of the following were done with the August Commit2Paper kit (which I helped Amy pick out!)
