A magnificent, opulent, tremendous, stupendous, gargantuan, bedazzlement, a sensual ravishment. It will be: Spectacular Spectacular.





It's raining. It's snowing. It's windy. It's cold. So, we're snuggled up on the couch, watching movies and hoping the weather will break so we can get out of the house again soon. We did manage to get my mom's and my eyes checked. My eyesight has actually improved so I got a new pair of glasses and sunglasses. They're both a little more edgy than the current pairs I own....so exicted to get them :)

I was honored to be the Color Combos Galore guest designer this week! I got to use my new Dream Street papers to complete the soft teal - mandarin orange - vanilla pudding - sundance color challenge. It was a blast to do and I'm so happy that they invited me over to the site :D Color is one of my favorite parts of a layout, so the challenge was perfect. I hope you guys will join in on the challenge and upload it to the Color Combos Galore site.

In other Dream Street news, my Menagerie collection was featured in BHG Scrapbooks Etc. this month!!!! I can't tell you how over the moon excited I am about it!!! Check out page 44 of the February issue, under Debb's picks :D I think I bought at least four copies of the magazine :D And I saw two layouts in the current ST using past paper lines of mine. It's still so surreal to see people using my papers and I am SO GRATEFUL for it. You guys make it all worth it!

I'm looking forward to Lost tonight and hopefully getting some more scrapping done. I've almost kicked this cold. almost. Hopefully I'll be much better by the end of the week. Trey and I have a gourmet group we're doing and I have to cook a Lump Crab dish as well as a root vegetable roast. I figure having working tastebuds would help in that area. ;)

Beautiful Alexis! When you get the chance can you give me a heads up on who does the book type paper that you used in the background of the layout and the framed title? I'm thinking I need some of that! Thanks!
