cori gammon.tickled pink

well, rather appropriate that i should be showing off a fab mini called 'tickled pink', because quite frankly, i am! cori gammon at the lilypad accepted me onto her creative team last week, so i have been excitedly scrapping with her gorgeous, whimsical goodies. tickled pink was so easy to scrap with- fun prints and fab elements. just yum.
i was inspired by the fun of this kit to make this page- featuring a photo where my hubby totally photobombed me. i also used a template from amy martin and journal prompt from Log Your Memory.
have a happy day!

vanilla bees.photography challenge

i am so excited! i entered last weeks photography contest at vanilla bees, focused on bokeh. i didn't know what that was, so i read up a bit. i entered a pic of my beautiful bubba with some light coming through a wicker basket lid in the background (you can see it in my flickr pic stream). and it was chosen as the winner. crazy happy. and if you haven't checked out vanilla bees yet, you should. their photography, cooking, scrapping and photo processing contests rock.

have a happy day!

one little bird.new home, boardwalk

well the fabulous peppermint (one little bird) has packed up her bongos and moved to a new store. surely you heard the buzz, did you guess which store is her new home? it's oscraps! so much gorgeous stuff in one store, you won't know what to do with yourself! now, here is a new mini-ish kit just fresh in the oscraps store, it's a little retro and a lot bright and sunny. and it forms part of the 25 days of templates: summer edition class with Tiffany Tillman.
i got to play with a couple of sample templates from the class, and they are quality.

have a happy day.

log your memory. logbook challenge week 14

i am so enjoying running along with the challenges in my LYM logbook. i like being able to sit down and focus for a little time on something that is important in my life right now. week 14's challenge was no exception, here's the layout i created with it:
{the beach people}
now of course i can't tell you the exact prompts for this challenge- you would need to take a look at the book yourself for that, but i was grateful for the opportunity to reflect on our recent move and the changes to our lifestyle that has brought. and i was super chuffed to have this layout appear on the GSO blog- thanks lynette for choosing it! the design of the layout was lifted from a layout by mrshobbes.
have a happy day,
