May seems to have come and gone with 31 of the quickest days I've ever witnessed.  And, I'm afraid that I need to play a little bit of catch up combined with some housekeeping….

1. New layouts for Right at Home Scrapbooking!

InBrief-sm

I love the way the stitched lines look!  I'm going to have to do that one again with other group photos.  It's such a cool look (time consuming, but cool)!

NeverTooOldToPlay-sm

The infamous toilet paper tube returns in this layout.  Now that I've started using it to stamp, I just can't stop!  And I thought that the big brads were going to be too cutesy for me, but I really love them!

You can see the full RAH May Design Team Gallery here.  I have to admit that because Right at Home doesn't have a particular "reveal day" I tend to just create when I have the time and forget to post them.  It's a bad habit, I know.  But, these were two of my favorite layouts ever!

2. Project Fifty-Two Updated.

At long, long last.  As you may know, my work life has been interfering with my play life and sadly, I haven't been spending the massive amounts of time on the computer that I usually do.  And so all of my uploading and blogging has fallen off a bit.  I am currently up to date in my Project Fifty-Two folder (you can click it on the left hand side) and I just spent the last hour oohing and aaahing over all the gorgeousness in the flickr pool.  You should definitely take a peek!  Here are some of my favorites:

3. Stalk Worthy Blogs

I've added a few new blogs to my google reader feed!

  • Jodi Reeves (aka The Creative Jar): Totally genius.  I don't know why we aren't best friends?  She's super creative and so versatile and has fantastic tutorials!  Half the photos in the mosaic above are of her stuff!
  • Creatively Just Me (Marianne Hope): I found her through the member gallery at Label Tulip and everything she does is totally fantastic! Lots of great design and little details that have you looking twice.
  • Speaking of Label Tulip, fellow design team member Christina, has me addicted to her blog!  I really like her arty style (a totally different kind of artsy fartsy from me) and her blog is just generally fun to read.  She posts fairly often too, which is nice.
  • Dog Daisychains: I've been reading this blog for a while, but recently I have become obsessed!  It's one of the first blogs I read every morning.  I love her velvet/felt stitched creations!  I really want to see them in person!  But, alas, she's across the pond….

Who's new to your feed and totally stalk worthy?

4. The sneak peeks are up for the new Label Tulip kit!  I haven't had time to play with the kit myself, but it looks like a good one!  I even ordered the add-on because it looked so yummy!

That's about all from me.  I've been out of town so frequently lately that I'm really looking forward to getting back home tomorrow!  It'll be nice to actually have some time to sit down.  I see some (belated) spring cleaning in my future!

Thanks for stopping by!
