moving on

So......one of my all-time favourite companies.................American Crafts............ is having a challenge this week over on their blog.

Here is the layout I created:
American Crafts supplies used: Dear Lizzy pattern paper, Dear Lizzy floral ribbon, Thickers & Remarks Accents stickers.

Go check out their blog and website to get even more inspiration and see for yourself why I LOOOOOOOOVE this company!!!!!! They have a most amazing pattern paper (which I have an addiction for) and the funnnkiest embellies EVER!!!!

p.s. I also used some mSB goodness and some fabulous Nikki Sivils Scrapbooker products on the LO as well.....................just thought I'd mention that. :)

Labouring today........?

wishing everyone a very happy Labour Day (Pre-First-Day-of-School).
yesterday we celebrated with some rocket-action at my sisters.
a huge success.
food, rockets, some work on the fields, lots of visiting & laughing, apple picking, etc.
today I wonder whether the fields will be dry enough to start harvesting again.
will i be labouring today.................?
or will i be waiting for more rain......................?
we'll see.
here's some photos of yesterday's fun:

Hey everyone!!! BIG news today over at the

blog today. The NEW DESIGN TEAM for the next term has been posted and "guess who" has been asked to resign with them?!?!?! (I'll give you a second.....it'll come to you eventually).

I am sooooooooo excited about this b/c they have thee.coolest.products.........they have thee.awesomest.design.team..........and they are some of thee.finest.people I have come to work with (really, they are so incredibly sweet & friendly & funny & goofy & personable) -- and that's pretty important to me. :)

So....I thought I would share a few layouts that I created with their fabulous stamps in my last 6 month term -- just a little "blast-from-the-past" Show & Tell.



Stay tuned for future links to the mSB website to see fabulous new products (I've seen some already & they are sooooooo on my "have-to-have-these" list) and keep checking out their blog for my new term posts, layouts & projects in the gallery. There is so much inspiration there....it's crazy!!!! I'm REALLY excited about being asked to join the team again!!!!!!
