If you are here for the Up The Street blog hop...welcome!! I hope you enjoy hopping around to all the blogs and checking out some projects made with the Up The Street Kits.
I wanted to share this layout that I made with the Very Vintage kit from November. I'm trying to use up all my scraps of paper and this was the perfect way to use lots of little pieces of all the pretty papers in the kit! I'm attempting to use up my scraps to make room for all the new, gorgeous goodies that Tara has at the store!! I love this photo of Barclay...he'll be 8 years old next week and the girls and I have already decided what kind of cupcakes to make for him!
I'm always on the lookout for new ideas and inspiration for scrapbooking, home decor and cooking - and I recently found Pintrest. I love it! What an easy way to catalog all sorts of inspiration.
So, before you hop along to the next blog...leave me a comment for a chance to win the beautiful Shabby Valentine kit! In your comment, let me know what blogs or websites you use for inspiration - I'd love to hear your ideas!! Here's the kit you could win (you have until Monday, March 14th to leave a comment!)
Here are the other stops for the blog hop...enjoy!!
and of course the Up The Street blog!
Thanks for stopping by...happy hopping!
I hop onto other people's blogs for inspiration!!! I particularly like dolly's dreamings, country heart and home, life and times of a 12x12 addict... And yours of course. I am trying to get inspiration from around me this year as I am doing journal2011. So when me and the boys go walking we say find five special things or look for three signs of spring or I ask them to give me an end of day quote to journal. Thanks for the chance to win.;-)

I follow numerous blogs for inspiration including Up the Street. Some of my other favs are Melinda Sphinx and Jana Eubank as well as Pagemaps for great sketches.
Loved your cute layout, and that adorable doggy! TFS :O)

I totally love your style! The layout of Barclay is precious. We used to have birthday parties for our dog too when the kids were all young. I find that I cruise a lot of blogs when I'm looking for inspiration. I also go to design team galleries because the designers are showing off their best work and I pick up a lot of new ideas.
