Pagemaps

Hi there. Are you ever in need of inspiration? I know that I definitely get in a slump and have no mojo. So what's a scrapper to do? Why, go to Pagemaps.
Each and every month, you will find new and exciting sketches for not just layouts, but cards as well.

I had the honor of creating for Pagemaps for the month of April. This is the sketch that I was given. I have to say, I have been a 12x12 scrapper for years, but the 81/2 x 11 size has really grown on me!


I created this layout of my dear little Pumpkin using Prima's new line Madeline. I absolutely love Prima and all of their pretties and frillies.


Thanks for checking. Have a great week =D

My Little Shoebox Farewell Blog Hop

Good morning. We are having a farewell blog hop here at My Little Shoebox. Did you happen to start here? Ok, no problem, just hop on over to MLS blog and you can get started.

If you've hopped over from the ever talented Nicole, then you are right on track :D


We have had such an amazing team of talented women, creating the most beautiful, innovative, and inspiring layouts, cards and project for My Little Shoebox. I just want to thank everyone on the team, for being so wonderful in every way, and for inspiring me! Here is a layout that I created using the Oasis line.

This is my husband and I. We don't take many photos together, I'm usually the one taking all of the pictures, but I was able to get my daughter to take this photo of us.

I loved building the cherry blossom branch. I used one of the B sides of the Oasis line and free hand cut out a branch, cut out a bunch of flowers and built my little branch. This year will be our 20th Anniversary, so I placed 20 blossoms on the branch, one for every year of marriage.


Ok, so now that I've gotten all mushy about things, hop on over to the fabulous


Rocio


and be prepared to be inspired!! Please remember to leave a comment here- that is if you would like to win an assortment of mini letters (I'll announce the winner on Wednesday, March 30th). And please leave a comment on all of the girls blog- MLS is having a fabulous prize for some lucky chickadee!
