i love this month. the main kit has so many extra elements {two alphabets!!} and i adore how the papers aren't so matchy matchy but the colors blend together really well.
and then there's the extra bit of something on this layout that is my all time favorite kenner road goody to date.
we're doing another reveal night chat tomorrow night beginning at 8pm pacific. come join us and say hi, just look for the chat link on the homepage right before 8pm. ;)
happy thursday!

one of the things that i adore about hambly is that allison has truly become such a kindred spirit. over the last two years, as our friendship has grown i have been extremely lucky to be pulled into her creative process and share my thoughts and desires over products i'd love to see hambly create as well as talk about colors and see early previews. i always go crazy when i get to see the early proofs before they're printed. oh geez... i turn all giddy actually. thank goodness als knows me well enough by now to deal with my spazzing gushes of "holy batman als { insert random freakishly crazy comments here } i LOVE it!!!". lol.
so those of you who are familiar with my creative drive and love for everything old will not be shocked to hear that i just about keeled over when i finally saw the final proofs of the summer cha releases. i was thrilled. lace. mannequins. doilies. stitching.oh. my!!
but i have to tell you that when i finally got the lace paper in my hands it truly was all i could do to not sleep with the paper. i could marry it, it makes me so creatively happy. so it's no wonder that the two show samples i managed to create for the booth were with the lace paper. i added a few extra items but really it was all i could think about, all i wanted to create with, so create i did.
so tell me, what is your favorite release? it doesn't have to be hambly, although i'd love to hear what you love of theirs as well, i am biased a bit... lol.
happy happy!!

i've got this little {well... it's getting really thick actually} journal that i glue everything i'm inspired by into. magazine images, pictures, vintage items & more. often it's this book that i turn to when planning kits or layouts or when i just need to clear my head and reorganize so that i can see clearly and make something.
do any of you do this? i'm sure you do, it's not a new concept but it's one i adore doing. sitting down every few months or so and ripping sheets out of magazines to save for a rainy day... or an august kit ;)
i'm focusing on this book today and this week as i gear up for the next few months of kits. i'm organizing all of the orders i placed last week and shuffling around images in my head and on my computer as i finalize exactly how i want my little mini window displays of paper & embellishments to work together.
so this is a glimpse of my process today and you should know that august kenner road is all about this page above. **swoon** isn't it dreamy? love the color combo and that farmhouse chic vibe is just luscious with pops of blue and pink against that rough & worn caramel brown. love. love. love!!
happy monday!

i have exactly seven photos from cha. none with dina. non with celeste. none with ems. none with vee & ronda. but i have this. this perfect picture with ames and gi. and i have to admit, i always prefer the laughing pics like these over any others. i like the real. the genuine. the ones that truly capture who we are and how we were.
you all live to damn far away you know. too. damn. far.
