31 Pages in 31 Days: Nuts About You

Today's 31 Pages in 31 Days inspiration page has a little story behind it…

"I'm nuts about you," my future husband said to me about a month after we met. Coming out of nowhere as we drove to church one day, it surprised the socks off me and made me laugh then, so hard that I couldn't answer him. Which was probably for the best because I might have scared him off since I'd already decided no one else would ever do and I'd marry him if he asked. I did mildly freak him out, I found out later, but only because he wasn't sure what was entirely so funny about his profession of besotted-ness.

He was then, and is still, adorable. And that sentence still makes me giggle, eighteen years later. And it made the A-Corny Thank You stamp set jump right out of the Holiday Catalog and into my shopping cart! It's a powerful phrase, I'm tellin' ya! Well, that phrase and the fact that it has a matching punch, truth be told…

Fun fall details that I don't have to hand-cut? Sign me up! The A-Corny Thank You set and matching Acorn punch will be available to order beginning September first, 2015, but my Scrapbooking Summer School participants will get their hands on them this Thursday! They are the perfect accents for this easy fall scrapbooking spread made with three strips of 3×12 inch patterned papers, plus trendy new faux-Polaroid-style frames made with the Squares Collection Framelits for the Sizzix Big Shot.

This is the kind of accents people don't usually like to bother with on their pages because they are time-consuming, but with that punch, it was a snap! Can't wait to use this on my fall wreath this year, too.

That's it from me today–it's open house for my kids tonight, and the first day of school tomorrow, so we're humming around here! See you tomorrow for more 31 Pages in 31 Days, Day Twenty-Six already!
