Catching up

Yikes! That's all I have to say these days! I feel so behind at times on feeding my creative side. So now it's catch up time! Here are 3 projects I put together this week...all at Jessica Sprague's website and all so fun to work with!

Stationery Box

I made this cute box using the {Perfect Packaging: Stationery Box} Template by iKari Designs as well as Echo Park's {Merry Christmas Paper Pack} and {Merry Christmas Elements Pack}

Next I made a Candy Wrapper

I made my own template and used Echo Park's {Everybody Loves Christmas Paper Pack #1}

Why the name?

As I was trying to think of a name for this blog where I would share things I am proud of, I thought of phrases that were special or unique to me. When I was only three or four, my mom made a lot of my clothes. One day she brought me into the sewing room to share the latest outfit and I clapped my hands together and said "Oh, splendid!" Of course, no three or four-year-olds use words like "splendid" without learning them from some old movie or something. I happened to watch old movies and learned the line from "The Slipper and the Rose", a Cinderella story. When the stepmother is looking at herself in the mirror, she is happy with what she sees, and says, "Utterly splendid." After I am finished with a photo edit or scrapbook layout, that's how I feel. I look at my work and feel like my three-year-old self again--giddy and smiling and oh so happy with what I see (at least, most of the time).
