In an ideal world...

...my papercrafting would go something like this:

1. I would create my Project Life layout for the current week using paper and embellishments directly from my stash...like Week 22, where I used Little Boy by Echo Park, which I've had for quite a while.

2. I would then create a scrapbook layout using the same range...using older photos would also be a bonus ;)

( I have to add here  that these photos of my boy when he was little made me shed a tear or two...just look at that adorable little face, and those dimples!) I would write lots of journaling, and use elements that make me happy...like banners and bright colours :)

3. I would then use the scraps to make a card...yes, a card!...and it would come together quickly, easily, and I would love it!

 I would even make an embellished greeting on the inside...because I'm feeling so inspired and all :)

4. Then...just for the heck of it...I would make another layout! From the same paper range, and using older photos from the great big pile that lives in the back of my cupboard.

It would be a simple layout, but that's ok, because that's how I like it...and some photos just don't need a lot of journaling :)

How cool would that be? My paper stash and  my photo pile would disappear in no time, my scrapbooks would be fatter, and I would have a card stash!

Must try it again sometime...
