This is Thirty

Happy 4th! To all of my fellow Americans of course. Everyone else, I hope you're having a fantastic Saturday =)

I have to admit we're not doing much to celebrate this weekend. What with a new furry creature in our house. If she weren't here, we'd be down at the beach relaxing poolside with my parents. It's a trade off. Cute puppy vs relaxing beach weekend. Cute puppy wins for now!

Speaking of relaxing weekends, today I'm sharing my latest Simple Scrapper creation, which is featured in the July edition of Spark Magazine. 

I love love love it!! Like am nearly completely obsessed with how it turned out. It's the first page I've scrapbooked about my 30th birthday, which was spent pool side at The Saguaro in Palm Springs. I've been wanting to get there for years! So finally for my birthday, we made it happen.

This is one of those pages that came together thanks to my newly revamped scrap space. Because of how it's organized, I get to just shop in my room, pulling out bits and pieces that I thought would go well with the photos.

The flamingo, pineapple washi and gold heart are from a Studio Calico add-on. The background and confetti paper are the A & B sides of a Project Life Sunshine edition patterned paper.

I went with a bulleted list for journaling. It's all of the tiny things that made up my 30th Birthday. The list probably sounds more appropriate for a 22 year old. But I think I proved it doesn't always have to be!

Oh man, take me back to Palm Springs! Will you? Pretty please?!

cheers & besos,
