I'm featured today!!

Creative Scrappers has been having a birthday celebration all month. They asked for people to apply who wanted to be guest designers for a day and I was one of the lucky ones chosen! Today was the reveal that I'm a part of and it's soooo exciting! You can see the sketch here, along with my layout. Just scroll down and you'll see this...

I love it! This is the first layout I've done from our vacation to the beach LAST July if you can believe it! I really need to get some more of these done, lol. ;) Thanks for looking! And thank you sooooo much to Kristine for letting me be a part of the Creative Scrappers celebration!!

Layout/Card Combo

In my scrapping group Scrappin-n-Chattin, we've started doing a new challenge each month, called the 24 Hour Challenge. Participates have collections (from 3 of their favs) and sketches (from 3 suggestions made by me, the hostess) chosen by others for them to use, and then they have 24 hours to create a page with them. It's very cool! The entire group voted on my collection/sketch choices and from them I created this page...

Supplies: Fancy Pants Paper - Crush; Computer Font - CK Jot; Doodlebug Cardstock Loopy Lou Alphabet Stickers - Bon Bon; Maya Road Chipboard Butterfly (as a template for the largest one); Martha Stewart Butterfly Punch; K&Company Pearls; Making Memories Sanding Block; DMC Floss; Craft Smart Ink - Chocolate Brown

*Inspired by Creative Scrappers Sketch #79

I love how it turned out! Very simple, so that my beautiful baby girl is the main focus. ;)

I decided to use the same papers to make a card for a friend of Emily's who just had a birthday...

Supplies: Fancy Pants Paper - Crush; Hero Arts Stamp; Colorbox Chalk Ink - Chestnut Roan; Fiskars Scallop Border Punch; Fiskars Circle Punches; Ribbon

I need to remember to do this more often. Making a quick card from your layout scraps is a great way to have less paper laying around and more cards to hand out. :)

Have an awesome day everyone!!

Some new cards!

Sorry I've been MIA this week. My bestest friend Cathy (and sister-in law) is here visiting with my nephew and 3 nieces. It's been so awesome! The kids have all had such a great time hanging out together and Cathy and I have actually gotten to sit down and chat. This is huge for us since we live 8 hours from one another and usually chat by texting. :)

Anyway, Cathy asked me to make some thank you cards for her to give out to some people at church. I worked like a crazy woman to get them done quickly so she could take them home with her today and I think they turned out great! She seemed to really like them all too...

He is Risen!!

But the angel answered and said to the woman, "Do not be afraid, for I know that you seek Jesus who was crucified. He is not here; for He is risen, as He said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay. And go quickly and tell His disciples that He is risen from the dead, and indeed He is going before you to Galilee; there you will see Him. Behold I have told you." - Matthew 28:5-7 (NKJV)

I pray that each and every one of you will have a wonderful Easter and that we all remember why we celebrate this day. God bless you!!
