ooh

head on over to the jenni bowlin mercantile blog and check out an ad inspiration and layout from me!  while you're there poke around - loads of inspiration and tutorials! it's really a fabulous blog. doris sander rocks!

friday featured blogger - francine

francine clouden is amazing! she runs two blogs - both are stops on my daily foray into blogdom. the first is the scrapbooking section of craft gossip. a must stop for all paper crafters each day. she highlights cool finds from around the blogosphere (like i do) and also features pages she finds in galleries. the second is her personal blog callaloo soup where she shares her inspiring layouts and projects.

she also has an etsy shop of the same name called callaloo soup where you can purchase gorgeous art like the piece above as well as interesting crafty bits for your crafting.

she doesn't even know i'm posting this, but i feel the need to thank her for the hard work and dedication she has to sharing with the scrapbooking community. she really rocks!

p.s. not sure if i'll keep this up. i always say i'm going to start doing something regularly and i don't. if you want the feature to continue - let me know and i'll try! :)
