Are you Enchanted?

It's August and Scrapbooking From the Inside Out has a new theme:
  1. enchantment  

    Web definitions
    captivation: a feeling of great liking for something wonderful and unusual.

Enchantment is defined as a feeling of great delight or a feeling of being captivated, or under a spell. (yourdictionary.com)

The Latin root, incantare, means "cast a spell on."If you're so captivated by something, like stunning photographs in an art gallery, that you may as well be under a fairy tale spell, you're enchanted. Charming actors in old movies often say, "Enchanted," after being introduced to a beautiful woman. What they mean, essentially, is that they find her so fascinating they can't take their eyes off her. (vocabulary.com)

So fun, right?

Here's one of my layouts for this month:

I took this in December when I woke up in the mountains of NC. :)

This month's kit is gorgeous...you can go here to get one for yourself!

Let's Get Persnickety!!

Hiya peeps! 
Welcome to the blog hop for PAPER ISSUES' latest issue

You should have arrived here from AIMEE'S blog. If you have missed a step, head back over
to the PAPER ISSUES BLOG to start!

Now, let's get to it!
This issue is sponsored by Persnickety Prints
I ordered several different sizes, mostly of my instagram prints.
The quality rocks! It is nice sturdy cardstock
and the shipping was SUPER fast! 
 I ordered them Tuesday night and had them
in my hands on Friday!

I don't consider myself a traditional scrapper, but thought it was time
 to bust out a good old layout for this issue (and honestly, time to use up some stash!)


I've been participating in the challenges for A Year in the Life of an Art Journal, in conjunction with Monday Mugshots, where you take a pic of your mug on Mondays throughout the year. I'm enjoying it as a fun way to document my year.
For this layout, I used some Amy Tangerine/American Crafts,
I used two different sizes of the Persnickety Prints (2x2 and 3x3).
Plus, I've been trying
to figure out a fun way to use those straws
so I thought using them as letters might just work! 



Thanks so much for hopping today!
Persnickety Prints is giving away a $25 gift certificate to one lucky hopper!
