Scrap Within Reach

Two different lines--tons of fun!

I'm the type of scrapper that tends to stick with the companies she already knows. The comfort zone gal. Well, imagine my surprise when I was browsing the coming soon section and saw some paper lines I really loved. Never thinking it was someone new, I clicked on them and put them all in my basket. I then realized this was a company I was not familiar with. I paused for a moment, that comfort gal getting a little scared, then said "to heck with it"....and I am glad I did.

Like most companies, the paper lines come with stickers and alphabets. With enough goodies to play with, I jumped right in. I LOVE that they while they are cute and somewhat themed, they can also be used without sticking to the theme. The colors are so wonderfully neutral that I was easily able to find other goodies to match the lines and able to do a variety of layouts---from a puppy one, to a Garden Maze one with a friend one thrown into the mix also.

So next  time you see some pretty papers, don't be like I was and worry about who makes them, just jump right in and buy them and I bet you will be glad you did!!

While shopping at Target one day, I saw a frame with an adorable saying on it. I thought the frame was a bit pricey as really I think you were only paying for the quote. So I pulled out a piece of paper and wrote down the quote and bought a cheaper frame. I have been wanting to do it for awhile, but wanted neutral colors so it would match wherever we move next, this line was perfect. The only problem was trying to decide between the blue/yellow tones or the red/tan tones. LOL
