ok, so i guess i'm going to post twice in one night. a little bit because once i start to write i tend to get inspired and want to keep going, and a little because i've been neglecting my blog so much lately and will be in ohio all next week (can i get a YIPEE!?!)...
first of all, the april jbs kit is by far my favorite since i joined their team. lots of fun colors + banners + fun little found objects = much inspiration for c.ametewee. i didn't want to stop!
you can see the rest of them in my gallery on the jbs website.
and here is one using the absolutely amazing liberty of london for target folders i got. i wanted to buy every single thing in the entire target with the l of l name on it but finally settled on the file folders (all our important papers are now very fashionably filed away) and a dress for gracie.
and lastly, a few recent photos. i have been putting alot of time and effort into my photography lately. i am just determined to learn the tricks of the trade and find my personal style. and i have to say...it is definitely not as easy for me as scrapbooking. putting together a layout is like second nature to me...but put me behind the lens of a camera and i struggle so much. i do feel like i've come a long ways in the last month or so, but i still have so so incredibly much to learn. i have taken thousands of photos since gracie was born in february and flickr has become my new best friend. i love being able to see them all in one place.

and lastly, my favorite little place in maryland...historic ellicott city:
and with that, i'm off to bed. i still have a few home projects and art to share but it's 2 am so i'll save them for another day. also i'm too tired to rainbow tonight's posts.
xo, C
i NEED to go to ellicott city. saving my pennies so i can come visit for a few days this summer.
your photos keep getting better and better....and your layouts too.
