To make the background, I punched 25 squares using my Marvy Giga Square punch. 

Then I punched each of those squares with my Martha Stewart heart punch.

I glued down the squares freehand, and then did a LOT of stiching. I stitched around the large square, then down each row and each column. It took forever, but I love the way it turned out.

I haven't finished the journaling yet, it's kind of personal, so I left it off until after I shared it online.

We're back safe and sound from Utah.

Last night I attended a dinner party full of old friends from my hometown, Highlands Ranch, Colorado, it was so much fun to catch up with everyone. I wish I would have brought my camera.

 I'm excited to do some more scrapping this week, I have my march kits coming!

XOXO,
