I LOVED this kit, and I hope you’ll check it out!  The combination of patterns and colors especially appealed to me.

2012 Top Ten List

Time for my favorite layouts of 2012!  I struggled with Mojo for much of the year, it seems, but managed to still create quite a few things I live.  Here are some of my favorites, in no particular order:

I notice a few trends here.  First, I really love single-photo layouts, but in most cases I use a fairly large photo (4x6 or greater).  Second, I used Mit/Paint/Ink on each of these.  Third, I like bright, bold colors.  Fourth, my fussy cutting habit is alive and well!  It’s interested to look at a collection of your work and see what defines it, isn’t it?

Thanks so much to all of the companies and design teams that sent my products and creatively supported me this year: Want2Scrap, Little Black Dress Kits, Pretty Little Studio, and The Curtsey Boutique.  I’m looking forward to what 2013 will bring!

Well-Trained Hero

My kids loved being at the local library recently for an introduction to Faith, a therapy dog that works in our local hospitals and nursing homes.  I snapped this pic during the presentation.

Laugh Together

It’s been really busy here, and I haven’t had much creating time.  But I did manage to eek out a few layouts for Want2Scrap and Little Black Dress, so I’ll try to get this blog rolling this week. Smile

Here’s a layout I had up a few days ago at Want2Scrap, and uses some My Little Shoebox products that were sent in my recent DT Box.  Fun stuff!
