Wanted to give a shout out and Big Thanks to Lainey at Go. Be Creative for the great flower embelly I used on this layout. I participated in a great Layered Flower Swap over at GBC and this was part of the one Lainey made....makes the page, doesn't it?

Well, one of the things I find that is the hardest for me and I want so desparately to do better is my journaling, or story telling, if you will. I totally suck at it actually, and therefore only hide most of my journaling on the back of my layouts. I saw a post about this over at Go Be Creative so I checked it out and believe it or not...I signed up!!! I have heard such wonderful things about some of Jessica Sprague's classes so I thought that trying this one out would be great.....and it's FREE!!!!! So make sure to go check it out HERE.......I hope to see you there!

It's Sunday...and you all know by now what that means...LOL! Yep...A new Weekly Sketch #22 Challenge has been posted at Creative Scrappers as well as the Design Team C Reveal on the blog! As always, Design Team C has done a wonderful job with this sketch and has alot of eyecandy for your viewing pleasure. I am sure you will find tons of inspiration there!

I have been a bad blogger and am a little behind in my updates, but hope to keep up a little better in the future. Of course, the new Weekly Sketch # 21 was posted at Creative Scrappers along with the Design Team reveal. The sketch is by Jen Patrick and I really enjoyed working with this great sketch. All of the ladies did such a wonderful job, so make sure to check it out here!
