First, the thing that I am most excited about...I told you all about the Creatively Yours Guest DT search earlier. I am thrilled to tell you that I was chosen to be one of their Guest designers for December and that Jacquie was chosen to be one of them for November. Yipppeee!!! How fun is it that we were both chosen?!?
Even more fun news is that they are looking for a new Design Team right now. The sketches are AMAZING so I really urge you to go check out the site, create using some of the sketches for inspiration, and maybe you will even be inspired to go out and try out for the team.
But here is the layout that I created for the layout portion of this contest....
This layout features a couple of photos of Kat and Amy playing (speaking of Amy, you must go check out her fun, new blog format...LOVE those monkeys!) You can see the Creatively Yours sketch that insired it here.
Supplies used:
*Basic Grey papers
*Sassafras papers
*eyelet trim
*buttons
*Pink Paislee alpha stickers
*Marvy Uchida Circle punches
*flowers
*Martha Stewart gems (detail around big circle)
*white pen (the one you can get from Stampin Up...I can't think of the name right now)
The journaling says, "October, 2008- Amy & Kat. Fast friends, telling secrets, playing peek-a-boo and dress-up, and sharing giggles."
In other fun news, I am going to be doing a fun thing here on the blog...

Aww! You know I can't stay away from your blog, so you might want to call me in advance of any days you might not want me to see what you are creating!
Loved being w/you & your family -- it's very quiet around here. I had such a good time & if we lived closer together, we could learn to control our time better, couldn't we???
