{love}.....in my scraproom

The other day....... the postman delivered a wonderful treasure. A BOX-FULL!!!!!!! of Nikki Sivils goodies.


And we're not talkin' about just a few odds & sods. We're talkin' kits & buttons & paper packs & brads & tags & journalling stickers & more & more & more........

WoooooHooooo!!!!! Time to start some serious late night scrappin'!!!!!

So....I wanted to introduce some of Nikki Sivils SPECTACULAR lines.

BLUEBERRY HILL:
This line just rocks!!! I love, Love, LOVE the bright and colourful pattern paper. The designs are too much and my fave is this little sun pattern in a great whimsical print -- last one in the second row of the image below. llloooovvveeee it!!!! Doin' some work with this line right now.....no peeking yet though....soon.....very soon. You can get more up close & personal with this line here.

MY FRIEND BIRDIE:
Kay...this line has got to be one of the cutest I've ever seen. The little birds & trees & the colours & patterns in this line are perfect for all your summer photos of your kiddies. Love the bright dot paper.........

....... and the banner on this pattern paper is too much. Just perfect for a title.

You can see more of this line here.

SOMETHING FOR EVERYONE:
Don't have this collection in my creative little hands yet, but it's one of the best I've seen so far. LOOOOOOOOVE it!!!!! I'm a pattern-paper-girl, so........ you can imagine my reaction when this image from Nikki came across my computer. Can't pick a fave here -- definitely need to feel it & touch it & USE IT!!!!!!! ALL. Great for some interesting monochromatic layouts...... {hint hint....send my way, please}. Click here to see more.

Well...... there are new collections from Nikki Sivils Scrapbooker coming across my desk every week. There's a few more sitting on my scrap-desk, but......... I just can't share yet. There will be some great stuff at the summer CHA show happening this month. I'll be able to share very soon.

And check out the Nikki Sivils Scrapbooker Blog today too.

as close as i'll get

the kids faced a few fears today at the Country Carnival. There was a 50 lb Albino Burmese Python at the Reptile House and both Daria & Carter each got to hold it (BIG photo op for Mommy -- if I could actually get THAT close)!!!!

Here's some more snapshots of the morning:

my skin's still crawling from the look of that snake {from the farm},
