These papers are SO much fun!!
These elements make me think of far away travel and adventure-I love doors and windows...
I love the bright colours of these alphas and the terrific selection-I would use these over and over
I couldn't live without music
I love all animals (and love nature)
September - the month I got married AND the start of my favorite season (Fall)
For the alpha I chose Alpha License Plate #1 by Paula Kesselring because I really love to travel - I love exploring the different states, hope to one day visit all 50 states & as many national parks as I can. Also, because I often feel a bit like a nomad moving every 3 or so years (and of course that means changing license plates!)
For the paper pack I chose At Home papers by Designed by Irma because I do love to travel, but am also quite a homebody. I love traveling and exploring - but I don't love going out with big crowds, or to busy places that are crowded. I'm perfectly content with just a night at home (and need time at home to recharge the batteries).
And for the elements pack I chose Controlled Chaos by Anita Designs because honestly that sums up life at the moment, it's crazy and completely chaotic but I love the crazy in a lot of ways, the planning and try to keep the chaos controlled.
Element Pack - I love life, I think you should live it to the full. Also I love my family and birds and this covers off all of that.
Paper Pack - I love bright colours in everything -shoes, clothing, bags, fabric, paper! They make me so happy and I love to mix patterns that feel like maybe they shouldn't be. Oh and I love gold too - esp in shoes and glittery watercolour paint!
Alpha Pack - I love glittery things and spots and curves.



I chose this element pack because I am a yoga instructor so mind/body connection is important to me and I also am a sucker for self development. My book shelves are full of books about time management, goal setting, meditation...

alpha.... that was a bit more difficult. I decided on Just the Basics because I generally like my titles and text on my pages to be easy to read and simple.

I am thrifty and like to get a lot of use out of things so maybe my background papers would be neutral and versatile so I could use them many times.
This because i love to read Booked2 Layered Templates (CU) (the-lilypad.com)
and this because life is to short, and everyone should own amazing papers ,I use this pack a lot....
Artfully Seasons Paper Collection by The Lilypad designer Lynn Grieveson (the-lilypad.com)
Alphas I can take or leave, but if I do take one it has to be by Kim Jensen because she includes the 3 extra Danish letters ( and many others from different languages )
Rimmed Glass Stackable Alphas by Kim Jensen (the-lilypad.com)
Cuz life sure is a circus right now with lot of
The thing that keeps me sane is knitting
Alphas
I love options and bright colors so this suits my personality down to a T
Elements
I am such a procrastinator at heart....if I can delay something I usually do so these elements really speak to me
Papers
Probably not a huge surprise with this choice - while I am colorful and bright at heart I also love the simple slightly imperfect idea - with all my battle scars from surgeries I am not pristine or perfect and noone truly is
This is such an interesting challenge...Had to put my thinking cap on for this one...
#1. For my Element Pack : I chose : Botanical Mix No.2 By Lynn Grieveson : Right Now I'm all about "peace & love" in my life after my terrible accident : I love a bold mix of flowers : Owls are my favorite bird : red is my favorite color : I like lost of WA in my layouts : Lynn's style suits my scrapping style right on...
#2. For My Paper Pack : I chose : Hear My Voice 2 Hurting Papers By Rachel Jefferies & Lynn Grieveson : Continuing on a similar theme as I mentioned above : You can see the tears falling on one of the papers : describes me to a t : I wear my heart on my sleeve & feel deeply : my scrapbooking pages are all about feelings : and the theme "hurting" also describes how I feel right now : I'm still recovering from my horrible accident : It will take much more time to heal from my current state of pain : these colors speak to deep felt feelings found in my scrapping pages...deep oranges,blacks,greys,texture,moody...yes!...that's definitely me...

#3. For my Alphas : I chose : Somebunny Special | Alphas By Mommyish : I looked at a lot of alphas...but wasn't drawn to them...But as soon as I saw these ones...I stopped right away : I like the presence they have : the fun & bold glitter : The large kinda-out there for all to see look : The bold colors too : They seem to make a grand statement to me : I guess that's how I design my pages too....to make a bit of a statement & to stand-out in their own unique way..with usually lots of WA & or quotes...These certainly fit the bill...
