New Template Challenge at ScrapMatters

Hey everyone- so I am so excited because I am hosting my first template challenge over at ScrapMatters! Here's the preview below:

Click here to go to the blog to download the template.

I hope everyone comes and participates- remember you don't even have to use ScrapMatter products to play. How awesome is that? So head on over to the SM blog and download the template and load it up in the gallery so I can see. :)

Forever Red, White, and Blue Freebie

Sorry it's been a little while since I have had a freebie to share- I have been busy enjoying a wonderful summer in Minneapolis. I have been enjoying my CT spot at ScrapMatters and have been busy getting some pages done, instead of designing. As I was scrapping though, I came across a page I wanted to do and couldn't find a kit I wanted to use- and so this little mini kit was "born". (Even when I try I can't completely leave designing alone!!) I hope you enjoy the kit- and as always I would LOVE to see any pages you create using it. You can see the page I created with it below. Happy early 4th of July!!

New Daily Download at ScrapMatters

Head to the forum and everyday you'll be able to receive a free download for the cutest patriotic kit. Seriously I'm in LOVE with this kit- so be sure to head on over there and check it out for yourself.

We made it!

After a long 2 and half days of driving from Utah we finally made it to Minneapolis. We only brought what we could fit in our car since we are only going to be here until August- so the first few days in our apartment were "interesting" but after a few days of garage sales and searching craigslist we have a fairly livable apartment again. I am also very excited to have Internet finally up and running again too- so hopefully you'll be seeing some more from me soon.

Design Star Results

Well after 2 VERY long months the design competition at ScrapMatters is over- and while I am really proud to say I made it to the top 10- that's as far as I went. :( While I am really sad that I didn't make it on- I am happy that I will get to be a CT member for them. :) So look for me hanging out over there a lot more now days.

Things have also been busy around here as I am trying to pack up our tiny apartment as we head to Minneapolis for the summer for my husband to do an internship there. I am really excited- both to have an income and to see a new city! Now I just need to figure out how I can pack everything I need into a Ford Focus! :) In the meantime I realized that it's been a while since I have shared a template with you- so here you go! As usual I have included 3 sizes of the template: 12x12, 8.5x11 and 11x8.5. I hope you all enjoy it-
