I keep an album filled with all the layouts I've created about myself as a special keepsake for my girls and I've actually scrapbooked quite a few over the years. However, when we were asked to create a project about ourselves this month I realized I had never documented about where I spend the majority of my waking hours.
I thought Doodlebug's Yankee Doodle collection was a great collection to turn to because the blues are the perfect compliment to my walls--In fact I used a piece of Doodlebug cardstock that I took to the paint store for them to match when we built our house. ;) I was super happy when I realized the cute jars from the collection would also be perfect for a layout about my space.
For my title I paired the Skinny alphabet stickers with some words cut out from red vinyl on my Silhouette Cameo.
As a finishing touch I added the "home sweet home" sticker from the 12x12 this & that sticker sheet. I literally squealed when I saw it because it couldn't have been more perfect.
I hope I've inspired you to document and scrapbook some favorite spots where you live. My Mom took some photos of me sitting in the middle of my messy room as a kid and they are some of my favorite pictures. They are a fun peek into my childhood with all the memories that flooded back of toys I had completely forgotten about.

or 
- I passionately love these scissors!!! I once practically crawled over a group of ladies (no joke) to grab the last pair when my local store put these on clearance during a flash sale. I now have 3 pairs so I can have one by my computer, one by my sewing machine and another at my standing island. I don't know what it is about them. I received my first pair as a gift and I thought they looked weird and was hesitant to use them, but it didn't take long to become a huge fan. I love the over-sized comfort grip handles and the short micro-tip blades. Everyone who borrows my scissors at crops comments on how wonderful they are. ;)
- I fell in love with this the first time I used it. It's my liquid adhesive of choice. I love it for adhering paper to chipboard as well as for adding buttons and bows to my layout. It has a super strong hold and dries clear. I have pretty much switched to using this in place of glue dots as I can almost create my own my putting a dab of this and letting an embellishment air dry for a wee bit before sticking it down. A single bottle goes a long ways. You can also find it at Michaels in the general adhesive aisle and as an added bonus it's a great item to use your coupon on. ;) 
- Before I discovered this giant roll of 36 yards I was spending so much money on the small roles and skimping on tape from fear of it running out too quick. Now I can pop things up and do it generously to my heart's content without running out. I want to say it's taken me over two years to go through a roll with steady use. I love that I can cut off a little or a lot depending on my need and cut it into triangles or squares to fit in tight spots. 
- This is a great tape. You can use it in place of the ATG or like in my case I have it on hand for adhering ribbon to my projects. I have purchased in a variety of widths and I love that you don't need scissors with it. It's easy to tear off and a lot of tape comes in each roll. 
- I would say this ink pad gets used as much as all my other ink pads combined. It is a super dark and rich black ink that stamps crisply and dries quickly. The super awesome thing about it too is that it lasts forever. I have used the exact same pad millions of times without refilling for 8 years now. That's insane to think about (knowing how much I've used it). I also recently discovered they've finally introduced a new
