Scrapdango January Reveal and a Blog Revamp!

I was a little tired of the blog header and design I had had for quite awhile.  So yesterday, I spent sometime playing around and this is what I came up with!  Let me know what you think!


Here are my layouts and projects from the January Spice Kit!  Loved this kit!

And a bookmark just to remind you that you have until Sunday the 23rd to get your layouts in for the Library Challenge at Scrapdango!

Don't Forget...

The Scrapdango Goes to the Library challenge starts today! Challenges will be posted throughout this weekend and games will go all week. Layouts aren't due until midnight est on January 23rd so you have plenty of time to get them in!

Here's the layout I did for my Reference Books challenge. Be sure to check it out!

Come Join Us!

Layouts and Photos and Cards, oh my!

Thought since I haven't posted in a month an a half, that I should get on it! :)  I wanted to document some of the creative stuff I've done this past year so I am picking my favorite 10 layouts, cards and photos of 2010.  Here we go!

The Basics

I just did a post over at Scrapdango using Basic Grey's Basics line!  Be sure to check it out!  Here's a little sneak peek.  This is a card I created using 2 Sketches 4 You.  I hadn't done any of their weekly sketches in over a year and it was fun to play again!
