Friday, April 19, 2013

Happy Friday evening, everyone! I'm squeaking in just in time to get this posted before Saturday's here. I came home from work and got distracted by a massive round of cleaning and organizing which has left me with one very shiny bathroom and very little wit with which to write at the moment!

Before I jump into this week's crafty links, I wanted to point you over to a post that I'm thrilled to have up on Shimelle's blog today- Five Ways To Use Your Paper Scraps. It's kind of like a mini "Use Your Scraps Week" all in one post, with four new projects and five new ideas for using up those paper bits!

I'll be bringing all of those layouts home to live on my blog soon, since this place is as much my layout gallery as anything, but the text and ideas will remain exclusive over on Shimelle's site. Here's just a peek at what you'll find over there (and, yes, I'm in love with those mini camera dies by Laina Lamb!).

And now for this week's link love! I must have been in a party mood when I selected this weeks picks, because there are a lot of ideas here for decorations and dessert tables.
