Happy Thanksgiving ~ BPS Giveaway!!

Happy Thanksgiving!  I could spend all day listing what I am thankful for but I won't bore you lol.  I will say a few I'm thankful for my hubby, my kids, scrapbooking, and also each of you who read my blog!!  So what are you thankful for??

I'm here today to giveaway a spot in the brand new class from Big Picture Scrapbooking called December Duos.  I'm so excited to get to be apart of this amazing class and hope you'll join me!

12 Days of Christmas: December Duos

Document Your Holiday in a Delightfully Fun and New Way

12/12/2013 $24.00

About the Class

The "December Duos" concept is easy, stress-free, and inspiring. Every day for the twelve days leading up to Christmas Day, two of our twelve instructors will share a scrapbook layout, video message, and a page prompt in the form of a duo ("warm & cold," "give & receive," "near & far"). That's a total of two-dozen inspiring ideas!

You can follow the instructor's lead or march in your own direction as you snap your photos for the day. Then, after printing our fabulously free journaling cards and title cards, you'll either slip the cards and your photos into a Project Life mini album from American Crafts or use them on a traditional (or digital) scrapbook page.

 

12 Days of Christmas: December Duos makes it easy to capture all of your most important holiday moments—in a festive new format—while keeping up with all the parties, presents, and pageants that make the holiday season magical.

I decided to take some time off from posting to catch up on some family time and of course I have some projects in the works.  So now that things are starting to calm down around here I wanted to do a FUN post. 

First some fun news, I will be rejoining Elle's Studio as a Contributing Designer.  I'm so excited about this opportunity!  I had a blast when I was on her team last year so of course I jumped at the chance to work with her and her products again.  FYI there is a DT call going on right now so be sure to check Elle's Studio blog you won't want to miss it.

Also on another fun note, I received an email from Jodi over at Fancy Pants Designs (while she was at CHA) and said that Scrapbook Cards & Today wanted to take one of my layouts with them to publish in their fall magazine. I was so excited because this was my first publication with this magazine.  So here is the layout using the new Collecting Moments line from Fancy Pants.

Now on to the giveaway, Scrapbook Cards & Today sent me two copies of their new fall issue and I want to give one way.  Just follow the prompts below for your chance to win. This magazine is full of amazing inspiration!
