As we head into a weekend I wanted to share some fun ideas with you, curtesy of a few dear readers like yourself.

{ inspired by her creative paper uses }
Rosie in South Australia didn’t have a hard time thinking of ways to use the bonus designer cardstock in her Amber Edition of Project Life. First of all, she took some “blah” magazine holders and turned them into darling-yet-functional accessories.
She also framed some of the paper. Rosie wrote: “I do this all the time. I have white frames in my hall and rotate regularly with the kids’ artwork, Christmas wrapping paper at Christmas time, quotes and sayings etc. Even fabric looks great. You don’t have to be an artist to create great looking art! And all of this costs next to nothing. I am looking forward to making cards with the rest of the paper too. The cardstock really is a great addition to the kit.”

{ inspired by her enthusiasm }
I enjoyed a good laugh reading this email from reader Denise in Pennsylvania: “After daily checking the UPS tracking website… And by daily, I mean about ten times a day… IT ARRIVED! I just spent nearly two hours setting it up. It was two hours of bliss!”
She continues: “I was alone in the house & this was my conversation out loud:
12:43 PM: “I hear it! I hear [the UPS truck]!”
12:44 PM: *waves* “Thanks, Mr. UPS man!” (He looked at me like I was absolutely insane).
12:45 PM: Grabbed my camera and started shooting!
1:00 PM: (Started Opening)
1:10 PM: “Hey, Where are my month bookmarks?”
1:11 PM: (Opens another box) “Oh, they’re here!” “THEY’RE HERE! THEY’RE BEAUTIFUL!”
1:12 PM: “I thought I was supposed to have bi-fold journaling cards.”
1:13 PM: “OOH! There they are! Oh my goodness. This is awesome.”
1:14 PM: “This is awesome.”
1:15 PM: “Becky Higgins, I love you.”
1:17 PM: “Seriously, Becky Higgins. Your website doesn’t do this project justice.”
1:20 PM: “If I had a million dollars, I’d buy this for everyone I knew that was getting married, having kids, moving… everyone!”
1:45 PM: “Becky, I heart you & Project Life”
1:50 PM: “I LOVE THIS! I LOVE THIS I LOVE THIS!”
3:30 PM: My parents come home as I’m sitting in the middle of Project-Life-land and asks how my day is going. My response? *grins* “Oh, nothing. Just having the best day of my life.”

I’m not one to come up with crafty things on my own BUT I LOVE to copy good ideas! I wanted to show you just SOME of the examples. THANK YOU for all your wonderful ideas!!!”
