I loved Maria's card post. What an excellent use of all those scraps!
ReplyDeleteI love the idea of having guest designers post on the blog! It is refreshing to see new faces and ideas.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite post from Maria included the links to other sites for inspiration. I hopped on over to those sites and found some more cool ideas.
I love SEI and take all of your classes at our local Scrapbook Expos and belong to Club SEI as well. Your's is the only monthly kit I have kept because of the great products and value.

My fav was her "go-to" websites for inspiration. I can ALWAYS use that!!
ReplyDeleteSuch a cute layout!
ReplyDeleteI also loved the card post!
I really liked seeing Maria's "Inspire me" post. It was neat to see a glimpse into her home and see her creativity outside of scrapbooking. I also liked her idea of hitting the local thrift stores for some inspiration. Those retro mushrooms were awesome!
ReplyDeleteThanks for your insight, Maria! Cute layout!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite post was the one where she showed the tags at the end. Beautiful work! Love your club too! Am using up some scraps today.
ReplyDeleteI loved Maria's idea of keeping all the scraps from each recent page she's done in baggies. What a simple and awesome idea!
ReplyDeleteglad to have found my way here since SEI is my go-to supplies for coordinated scrapbooking and congrats to maria for being a guest blogger :) her list of "go to" sites entry are now my faves as well!
ReplyDeleteI love the blog on thrift stores. Sometimes during my lunch break at work I roam around one. I loved her last blog on card making. I love to make cards and give them away. It makes me feel so nice.
ReplyDeleteI just love that I've starting reading the blog (and put it on the sidebar.) I love that each blog was simple and to the point (thank you). Sometimes we only have 5 minutes to read blogs! The ideas for the cards LOVE IT!
ReplyDeleteI love the projects, but honestly, those mushroom s&P are pretty rockin...may have to put those on a card. I loved the card post...great ideas!
ReplyDeleteI really liked the notes for her daughter's lunch kit. My mom used to do that to me. At the time I was kinda embarrassed by it, and some of the other kids teased me, but now that I am a mommy I want to do the same thing.
