St. Patrick's Day & a Winner!

A layout of my kids on St. Patrick's Day from last year.  I couldn't get a picture of them ALL looking at me but at least I got them all in there:)  I used a sketch from the Lily Bee Blog and obviously went with a green theme.  Most of the papers are from Lily Bee as well as the embellishments. 

Also, I finally picked a winner from the Memory Works Blog Hop.  And the winner is...........Jody Spielgelhoff!!  Jody, send me your address and I will get your goodies sent off to you!

Memory Works Blog Hop

Just a heads up that the Memory Works TeamWorks is doing a blog hop next Tuesday. We each have picked a new line from the new catalog so be sure to stop by:)

April MW Challenge

It's my turn this month to post a challenge in the Memory Works forum and it's all about banners. The challenge is to create something with a banner on it: a layout, card, home decor, or altered art. It can be a premade banner or one you make yourself. Here's the layout I came up with as the example.

Leap of Faith

This month's challenge on the Memory Works forum is to scrap a time when you took a leap of faith. It took me a while to think of something but then it all came together so easily. This one's of Katie, the day after she was born. Everytime we think about having a baby, it is always such a leap of faith. Can we afford a baby? Will the baby be healthy? Will the baby fit in with the rest of the family? And in this case, Katie was breech for most of my pregnancy so that worried me a lot. Luckily, everything turned out great and Katie is such a sweet addition to our family!! I also used a sketch from the MME blog and most of the papers and embellies are from the MME Love me line!
