how pretty makes it easy

this year's valentine's day celebration was pretty low key. i got off work pretty late and when i got in the car, hubby handed me a couple of cupcakes. then we had dinner in a quaint and cozy restaurant near our house. after coffee and dessert, we were both pretty tired so we headed home. now on to my scrapbook share.

this is a layout i created from iris' restoration album and layout class. i was in singapore during the day of the class so i was only able to work on it afterwards. i finished most of the layout a couple of weeks ago but i wasn't able to complete the bird yet. i have to tell you, it was very frustrating working on the structuring medium. i am still working on the mini-album. i hope i can share that soon.

this next layout was so easy to put together because the pink paislee papers are so pretty. and don't get me started on the colors - pink, blue and yellow. this one is for the scrappiest sketch 107.

as if to prove my theory that pretty papers and embellishments can jumpstart the creative process, i was able to finish this layout in a couple of hours for prima's february bap.

i think i'm gonna test more of my theory and get started on working with more pretty papers. it's friday tomorrow. i hope i can get more layouts done or even an album.
