My last layout I did as Trunk Designer of the Month over at Paper Trunk....as soon as I got these papers in the mail, they just screamed heritage to me.....so I couldn't end the month without doing at least one....the pic is of my mom with her parents and brother.

Two Toots!

Well, I'm excited to announce I am now on the Inspiration Group at a new site Scrappin' D'Amour....I am so inspired because it is a site devoted to the vintage and shabby chic...which has a special place in my heart. Please stop by and check us out as we grow.....and join up and share your vintage/shabby creations with us. And don't forget to check out the Boutique.....it has some awesome stuff in there that I have never seen anywhere else....and lots of new stuff on the way...even if you don't scrap vintage, you'll find some little embellishment, stamp, or paper you want in there.

And I got another card picked up for the upcoming Scrapbook Trends Wedding Idea Book...which I'm excited about...I guess my card making skills are improving.

Thanks for sharing in my excitement!

My Week 5 entry....

for the Summer Circle Challenge.....our challenge this week was to use only handmade patterned paper and make at least one homemade embellishment....I really struggled this week....but here is what I finally came up with....I sponge painted the blue cardstock to make clouds...I also sponge painted the wave and sun. My homemade embellishments are the beach balls used as letters...thanks for looking.

Well, I made it...

to Week 5 of the Summer Circle Challenge...this week's challenge is to use only handmade paper...NO PATTERNED PAPER...this one will be hard for me.

And, I finally get to upload this layout I did for Linda Harrison's challenge over at Busy Bee...to use brads creatively...I've had this one done for a few weeks and I totally love it and couldn't wait to be able to post it.



Hope you like it too...enjoy this Monday!
