Paper Issues: Tiptoe Through the Tulips!

So glad the new challenge at Paper Issues (Tiptoe Through the Tulips) can be considered Spring related!
I am ready for warm days, flowers blooming and light or no jackets required. :)
Welcome, March!

Here are a few pages I will probably link up...

This layout is the first one I thought of  when I heard this was going to be the theme. I made this a few years back for a design team assignment for ScrapGal with a tutorial on how to make those little pinwheels.

Another page I did around that time about these pretty flowers one of my neighbors had planted.

This one is actually a scraplift I had done using a layout from a member at ScrapGal.

I love doing pages about our local Botanical Gardens. Plus this one uses flower print paper.

And the last one for today...

I thought this was kind of fun also from a few years back. I was on the swing in the backyard when I snapped this photo, and feeling pretty happy about my new shoes. I actually used a tag from my shoes for this page.

So here is the story - visit this post *Here* and link up your pages using one or more of the following items...anything Spring related (especially flowers whether it be just in photos or product). Also going with Tip toe, you could use feet, anything quiet related, sleep, etc...
We are pretty open and flexible to interpretation :)
One lucky person will win a $20 gift card to the store just for linking up a project.
And there is a lot of great new product coming in which you can see in the "All New" section *Here*.
Don't forget to use code MARYJO to get 20% off your total order!

As for my Scrapbook Weekend Getaway...it was so much fun! We did have a huge winter storm watch Saturday night into Sunday, but we didn't let that stop us. :) And my friend Mary and I made it home just fine on Sunday.
Here is the one photo my friend Sue took of Becky, myself and Mary...

Looking a little tired, but I was pretty good going to bed by 12:30 both nights. Some of the ladies stayed up until 2 and 3 in the morning!



The only thing I worked on during the crop was my 2013 Summer Project life. I shared the title page back last June in this post *Here*. We didn't arrive until around 6:30 pm on Friday night. And after eating dinner and checking into our room, we really didn't settle down to our scrap space until around 8pm.
I spent most of the next 4 hours or so organizing my photos and journaling. Matching words with photos and weeks.
The next day I was ready to go and managed to get through the first four weeks. Since I do Project Life my own way, the first week has several pages including a few smaller inserts. But then the next three weeks were two to four pages each.
I am going to try and get a few photos of some of my pages to share here soon.
I have to say that I like the PL format, but wouldn't want to do it all year long. Summer is just long enough for me. And now Evan is saying he wants me to do it again for the family this upcoming summer! We will see. I want to get Summer of 2013 done first before jumping in again. :)
But I did feel like I accomplished a lot this weekend.

And just because one of my favorite shows in the world is The Golden Girls...

My friend Becky shared that with me at the crop this weekend. I thought it was hilarious. Looks just like them. :)

So lots of happiness here the past few days. And since the weather was so bad on Sunday night, Mike did not drive down to Joplin. I had an extra day with him! He did have to work here from home, but I felt pretty happy just having him here with me all day while we each did our thing. I am not used to having him here on Mondays. It really is the little things that make me happy. :)

Back soon with some Project Life pages.
