That's a total of two-dozen inspiring ideas!

Fun News, A Layout to Share & A Giveaway

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!
