Late night scrapping

So I may have stayed up until 1:00 am scrapping. Just maybe. But I was having so much fun! I forgot how much fun it is to stay up late when the creative juices are really flowing like that! I am not sure if I will meet my goal of getting the photobook completed for the Shutterfly sale which ends tomorrow (26th). There are just so many more pictures left to scrap. I'm trying to be careful that I don't just rush through them just for the sake of rushing. I really want to enjoy the journey! And speaking of journeys...

Here's a page I started awhile back. I had this really fun dotted background, but it just wasn't working for me. I worked on this for a long time and then finally decided to just walk away from it for the time being and start some other pages. Last night I was looking at the Little Dreamer shoppe and saw this new set by Brenna Coleman, Michelle Coleman's (owner) 10 year old daughter. I fell in love with the paper set right away! And the butterfly was a plus for me too. Michelle Coleman owns Little Dreamer, but she also designs for Fancy Pants. I think these papers that Brenna designed could totally be something for Fancy Pants (but hopefully not because I want my digital!). Cheers to Brenna for an awesome set of digi paper! You should definitely check it out!

One of the challenging things for me with scrapbooking our vacation photos is there are a lot of photos for just one place that we visited and the photos are so amazing that I don't want to leave any of them out. And I don't want to add so much to the page that it takes away the beauty of the pictures. So if I can just add a little embellishment here and there, then I'm set! I found Christine Newman's Simple Pleasures set was the perfect kit for doing that on this layout.
