About to Pop & One Fall Day

I've had this layout planned in my head for quite a while, and finally sat down to do it!

I cannot tell you how many times I hear the phrase "You look like you're about to pop!" whenever I go out and about these days. I've heard it soooo many times in the past few years, that I've gotten a little... well... irritated about hearing it! hehe I figured this was something I definitely needed to document!

As soon as I saw the die cut paper from the Five Foot Two kit, I knew that was what I was going to use as part of the whole "popping" theme. I continued that concept along with lots of circular accents.
Layers of patterned paper, die cuts, and lollipop flowers....

A little sparkle is added to the alpha stickers with some stickles.

I'm writing this post early and setting it to post later... wouldn't it be wonderful if by the time this posted, I'd "popped!" ;)

Here is my layout for the current challenge! If you haven't checked it out yet, make sure to! The prize is PHENOMENAL!!!



I used bits and pieces from older kits that I've been hoarding:

Day By Day
Cornucopia
Lovely Day
Five Foot Two
I kind of got a little carried away with all my embellishing, but I was really in a "Fall" type mood! :)

Day by Day & Fall Cards!

Today I thought I'd share with you my take on the Day by Day project kit. :) I hope you had a chance to take V's class, she had so many inspirational ideas for this book that I need to go back and add. (V, you are brilliant! ;) ) But until then, here is what I did with the materials included in the Day by Day kit. :)

I used the velcro to attach the pen, so it is there ready for me to use at all times. The Jenni Bowlin mini-paper titled "2010" on the inside cover will be a place I write down a few goals that I want to work on throughout the year. I added an envelope to the front of each month page, as an extra spot to tuck inspirational items.
I then created a pocket on the other side of the monthly "tabs" as a home for notes, photos, etc. that I plan to work on during that month.

I also have a couple of Fall cards to share with you using the Rise and Shine kit. The stamps are by Cornish Heritage Farms. I painted the images using Shimmerz paints.
I used the blank side of the canvas tab as a home for my stamped card sentiment.

Thanks for looking!
