The Month of April

For the month of April I have been real busy with my creative side. I decided I was going to do Project Life and let me say I love it so much. It give me a chance to get back to my scrap booking because I know I haven't been doing it for years. I know one company has been selling the binders and the page protectors with the paper to match each design and the company is Becky Higgins Designs. I bought the clementine binder

and I love it so much,its very cute and colorful. I also bought the page protectors to go with it. Inside the binder its this insert

and I think its so true to stick to that motto so that is what I plan to do.

Clean and Simple

 The theme for the CAS challenge on the Robert Jackson blog is family matters and we had to use a recyclable item and I use some raffia twine. The image I chose is called daddy's lil girl and I just fell in love with the image. So go check out the blog and see what the other people in the team came up with. Also submit your card that you came up with in the challenege and have the chance to win One Free Robert Jackson Digi, A GD Spot and  a $15.00 Gift Certificate from this week's sponsor Oozak! 

Sketch Challenge

Guess what...I have another challenge for ya'll to join in on. now the rules for this challenge is to use this sketch

and make sure the colors are pastel colors because the theme is spring. Go here to check out other designs using this sketch and also to link you project. Well here is my card using the sketch and I hope you guys like it have a wonderful day.

The image we used as a team was Pheobe goes fishing. you dont have to use the same image but it would be lovely if you do.

Winner!!!

The blog hop is now closed and we have to pic a winner. I have to say thank you to everyone that took the time and commented on my page. I am so grateful to be given the chance to be part of a great design team. out of 39 comments I could only choose one from my blog, and one has been chosen. I used random.org and the number that was chosen is number 8, so that means KATHERINE won. and she won the image that I used on my card. so KATHERINE email me and I will get you that image as soon as possible. I want to say that again for everyone that joined in on the fun.
