mj {i'm lovin' it}

mj
a dream street paper line
by lara ellingson
so this is my newest line. i'm very excited about it!!! we also got to do rub-ons this time! YEAH! {those are all the sayings underneath the paper}. like the rest of my lines, i named this after a special person in my life: matthew john = mj. i felt it fit him with his patriotism and recent joining of the military. i threw a heart paper in there too entitled: i {heart} you. i do love him more than i can even say. he is my best friend and favorite person in the world. i look forward to hearing him walk through the door at night because i love to be with him. i truly feel that he was made for me. i love you sweetheart. thanks for letting me pursue my dreams and for giving me wings to fly.

i
took into consideration all the ideas that i received from fellow bloggers, coworkers, family, and friends. this is what i came up with: something to use for boys, girls, summertime, 4th of july, valentine's...or whatever floats your boat! i've been creating all day in order to get ready for cha {craft and hobby association}, a tradeshow in CA next week. this paper has been really easy to use.

go check out all the other fabulous lines from dream street here.
great for my active children...

cherries: a perfect match for G's swimming suit! {i know i spelled "eerie" wrong, i put up the wrong picture...i already changed it to "erie". i'm a horrible speller. when i taught kindergarten, we only had to spell words like "cat" and "mom". our hardest word was "the".}


perfect for "miss pouty face", just add a little black, and... voila!



J's 5-year-old pics. this line works great for boys or girls. i love these pics of my sweet J.


oooh, these stars were too fun! this paper works great for 4th of July too! here's a link for directions if you want to make your own too, with MJ paper of course!

a kissing ball for valentine's day...here's the link if you want to make this one too. i'm telling you, this paper is very versatile!

a candy bar treat for that special someone! this paper is much cuter than the original "symphony bar" wrapper!


a super easy valentine's card! don't you love the hearts??!!

Ok you win, that is the cutest thing ever. I love your papers, I have been in such a sewing mode for the past year I have totally neglected my scrapbooking! I am going to make myself get back in it and this totally motivates me! SUper SUper cute!
