these are the new Little Yellow Bicycle products from the Free Spirit collection which should be trickling into stores sooon!

i actually scrapped a whole layout yesterday. GO ME! no. this wasn't the one. only one because i seriously pushed around the same 4 papers and 2 photos for a few hours. i was having commitment issues, or something. i finally glued it down and called it done. i still don't love it. *sigh* but i'll share soon. promise.

oh....before i go. do you like the look of hand-stitching on your layouts? (obviously, i do!) if you do and you just aren't sure where to start or what kind of tools you'll need, & just want to learn some fabulous tips/tricks/techniques, etc, then you need to take Kinsey Wilson's free online class! yeppers, FREE. she's got some mad stitching skillz!

happy sunday!
