And finally, I want to share my most recent projects using this fabulous paper. I've always been enamoured with papers that wax childhood nostalgia, and this particular paper from the Old Fashioned Courtship line just melt my heart! For my card, I used the He Loves Me/Picnic Blanket & Neck Tie/He Loves Me along with Long Walk/Rouge papers. Yeah, I know, I have a thing for the paper pleating. My friend Kari says I need to move on from this technique. Lol, in time Kari, in time!

For my layout, I used Summer Log/Meadow and Ice Cream Cone/Board Shorts from the August Collection. I was soo proud to have snapped an "artsy fartsy" photo when my Mom and I were lounging in front of the Pantheon. It took us a few days to find this monument since the streets in Rome are pretty windy crazy, especially when you're tired and your feet hurt! Later on that day, I remember, my Mom and I just hung out on the steps of that Fountain enjoying the box of chocolates that we had hand picked earlier in the morning. It was a GOOD day indeed!


I also used a few journaling bits from Photo Log Journaling Jotters set of 7 (in Kraft & White) available from Jenn Steven's etsy shop now renamed Creative Chaos.
