Happy National Bikini Day! Bikini Day is the anniversary of the invention of the bikini in 1946 by a Parisian fashion designer, Louis Reard. It’s also just a regular old Wednesday for most of us, i.e. me. …but in keeping with the bikini theme, I have ANOTHER honeymoon mini album…

Last week I shared an art journaling style layout, and today I’ll be continuing my “series” of mixed-media scrapbook pages. For a long time I was wary of anything to do with mixed media. Generally, traditional mixed media has a very different style than mine. Personally, I prefer light, bright…

I love the little altered wooden houses that Lori makes…so much so that I wanted to put my own little spin on them. I love mini ANYTHING so these are right up my alley. I’ve used the new Pebbles – Simple Life by Jen Hadfield line that is available in…
