Oh, Snap!

Haha...I love saying that! I have a few pieces of fun & exciting news to share this beautiful Friday morning. First of all, you know how every time you see a "Giveaway" on a scrappy blog, and all you have to do is leave a comment to enter? You know how how you know you mostly likely won't win, but you enter anyway? Well, back in January, I saw a giveaway on the Burlap & Buttercups blog for a Page Maps 2 Sketchbook. I actually purchased the first one years ago when I first started scrapping and I loved it. I still pull it out from time to time for inspiration.

Well, I logged on the other day and saw that the winner had been drawn, and out of 400 entries, it was ME!! WHAT?! That never happens to me! I was flabberghasted! I am SO stoked to be receiving the newest book from Page Maps! Yessssssss!! I can't wait to get it. Thank you to Burlap & Buttercups!



My next bit of good news is that I was chosen to be a Design Team Member for My Scraps & More! It's an awesome online scrappy store, plus there is a forum just bursting with inspiration, ideas and fun scrappy ladies! Check out the blog, the forum & the shop...there are awesome prices on the newest scrappy items, and there is almost always a discount code. GREAT prices!!

Here is the layout I submitted for my DT application. It was based on a sketch provided specifically for applying. Yep...that is my sweet little Paige unknowingly flipping me the bird! She was just really trying to stick her fingers in her mouth, but the right one popped up at the right time, and of course, being the crazy scrapper that I am, knew that picture would be hilarious! I didn't realize the string from my tag was on top of the photo until I had already cropped & edited it. Oops!



I used the Dance in Sunshine collection from Glitz...I have had this collection for several months now, just waiting to be used. I also wanted to use some some of my old flower stash. I went through a phase where I had to have every flower of every color, so now I need to use them up :)



Thanks for visiting me! I hope you all have a fantastic weekend!
