June 2012 MW Express Kit

I received the MW Express Kit this month and it was full of the Simple Stories Summer Fresh line.  I love the bright colors and the denim mixed in with it.  I created a few cards, a tag, and some layouts too:)

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!
