yepper: PRINCESS GIFTBAGS! :)
because if you've spent an entire week making people princess castle minibooks, you can't just chuck 'em at them and say, "here ya go!"
plus, i have to say the project itself wound up being distressingly low on bling...well, ok, did i use lots of lovely clear glitter glue throughout the books...but there were hardly ANY rhinestones! (GASP!)
this was partly because of the nature of the accordian-fold books (which kind of demanded i make FLAT pages so they'd lay correctly) but also, with a limited area... (the use-able space on each panel was only about 3x5") and a LOT of photos...and a LOT of colors...well, it turns out even i occasionally recognize a crafting situation where less is more, so to speak! (who knew??) so i really needed to get some big honkin' rhinestones in there SOMEWHERE and the bag was it!
(glossy white giftbags: current; patterned paper: reminisce, plus scraps of making memories and scrapbook wizard for the flowers and leaves; florals: heidi swapp & junkitz; rhinestones: jewelcraft)
oh they're adorable! and really no self respecting princess would be without some of those rhinestones! (i just wish i could click and enlarge the photo to get a better look!)

I've been scrapping but nothing to share yet!Busy showing all my entries in all the team CJs the blogs fed up of me...lol
Wow, I bow to your greatness!! This project is so amazing. I've been having my son take photos for me since my camera does not product photos that are worthy of scrapping. Keep up the amazing work.
