new photos and inspiration
my wonderful friend, will, took some new photos of me today... just for fun. this one was my fave....

and this one was inspired by my favorite movie, Amelie....


my friend, kelli, posted this cute page (a lift actually of laura's equally cute layout) i loved it so much that i wanted to share it here.....

for the past few days, i can't get enough of this site, Rebecca Thuss. She has some really beautiful work!
(*sigh*... it's all so pretty!)
i am also dreaming of building things out of cardboard, like so...
and this just makes me laugh....
A LOT!
ps. if you are a fan of playradioplay! you may just want to check out the new album...

The first thought that came into my head at one of the last images you posted, you know the one with the 3 kids is Charlie and the chocolate factory. They reminded me of Mike TV. Thanks for that.

Haha, for a project at art school 3D Design class I had to build something out of cardboard. It can out pretty cool for what it was. It's pretty fun... Enjoy it.

I'd have to say that those shoes on her(rebecca's) site were utterly fabulous-made me think of a layout idea with the turq bling; a flower and a piece of something chocolate! Thanks for the inspiring links!

We used the MS cupcake tower as our wedding cake! I LOVED it and it was pretty easy. My dad made the tower from stryofoam pieces covered in ribbon and we ordered cupcakes from a bakery. I made the fondant heart and added the inital with a rubber stamp. It was so fun! I also love the photos with the sweets....
