just a little ol design team project for pink pineapple scrapbooks,,, i tried sooooo hard to leave these papers in their fall colors that they were supposed to lay,,, but i couldnt. i dont have it in me. i had to glimmer mist the wood grain pink and add pink ribbons and pink thread with my sewing machine. yeah, i had to. the little dinosaurs were totally inspired by a kit of the week my sweet friend carrie created. theyre so cute, i had to allow her inspiration to take form in my own little layout *1982* and yes, i know, i use a lot of the same pictures. this is the deal, im crazy into scrapping wallets these days. im a really big fan, but heres the problem, they come in sheets of four. and i hate waste, and i love this picture {no matter how many times youve seen it} and thats that. its kinda a cool challenge. do it, scrap the same picture with two, three or four different layouts. lemme know how you likey. :-)

love, ally

the design team from pink pineapple got together a group and created an circle journal. never done one before in my life. ever. i gotta admit, it might have been one of the hardest projects i have ever created. correction, it *was* the hardest project i have ever created. ever. and the pages i have to put in others journals?? cant do it. i dont know what it is, so let this be a big fat sorry in advance to the fellow members of the design team. sorry dude, i swear next time around, ill stay outta the circle journal. your your sake as well as my own. anyway, my theme is *inspire me*. i hate journaling, so i didnt write anything about the fine lines, or guide lines for that matter,,, just whatever you think when you hear *inspire me* ~ if you wanna inspire me, go ahead. if you wanna tell me what inspires you, thats cool too. whatevs dude. here is the beginning stages of my circle journal,,,the front and back, inside and outside cover were totally inspired by this class,,,,
