Does Me & My Big Ideas have a design team?

Because if so... I want to be on it.  I have a serious love for their patterned paper, like with this paper pad...

 

You've seen a lot of my stuff using that line.  And now I especially love the new activity pad I picked up last week with my 50% off coupon at Michaels...

 

It's full of die-cut letters, tags, paper & more... so darn cute!  Most of what I used on this lay-out was from the pad... 

   

... it's for the current Creative Type "where it's @" challenge.  I had to do some hand-stitching because I only had a couple "@" stickers, neither of which matched.  I'm not really used to doing boy lay-outs, but had a lot of fun doing some paper piecing on this one. 

And, yes, we're pretty well packed now.  We're going to the mall today to pick up a couple more things & have dinner at Cheesecake Factory (you already know I never get sick of that place).  First, I'm off to run 6 miles (the race is 2 weeks away) and do 100 crunches.  Did I mention that I decided to do 100 crunches every day until we leave for Hawaii beginning last Sunday?  Well, I have... every single day.  I figure if Valerie Bertinelli can do all her crunches & end up on People magazine, I can do it too.  As for my pasty-white skin... well... I'll just have to apply the self-tanner on Monday night...
