OMG -- Guest Designer

Two months ago, my friend Jing-Jing talked me into entering a sketch contest over at Back Porch Memories. The winner of the contest would be their Guest Designer for the month. Well, I didn't win. There were so many amazing layouts, how could I? But, my layout did get me one closer to my goal of 100 before Labor Day. So, when their sketch came out this month, I entered again. Low and behold, I WON!! Here is the layout I had entered:


Having never done anything like this before, I am a little nervous. They are sending me goodies to create work to be featured on their website. They have some amazing women over there, I don't want to disappoint! Wish me luck!!

Celebrate Freedom

I couldn't resist and ordered one of the Pink Paislee warehouse sale boxes. Each box contained a single sheet of paper from one of the their upcoming lines. This diecut is called "reindeer games" but it looked very July 4th to me. What do you think?

Destination Unknown

This is the first of many layouts I will have to make of Hannah riding her bike. These are actually pictures taken on day 2 of her biking adventure. She learned to ride the day before and woke us at 6:00am to ride the morning I took these pictures.
