Now on to my BIG NEWS

Well I have been sitting on this news for a while. The closer it got the more I wanted to yell it from the roof. LOL. I was asked to be the May Guest Creative Team Member at A Cherry on Top. Let me tell you, that this just BLEW MY MIND. I love that place and have been hanging out there for years. In my mind the CT there are rockstars. For real. So getting to hang with them for a month, is way cool.

And as GCT, they sent me some supplies for me to create a reveal with. Can't share that just yet, but stick around and a few days- maybe a week- I can share. Anyway, they have the big NSD crop going on and I hosted a round this am. Will do another tomorrow and a game of BINGO. So check it out.

Just My Sketches and Scrapbook Challenges

Well it is April 2nd, which means a few things. LOL. Tomorrow is Jonathan's birthday, Sunday is Easter and Gracie's birthday is the end of the month. So lots of good picture taking opportunities.

And since today is April 2nd, that means that yesterday was April 1st, so it was reveal day at Just My Sketches and the Blend. Deanna decided to play a joke on us and not give us a sketch. Yikes, LOL. But she did give us a song list, so here it is

Here is the list of songs:
~MORE THAN WORDS CAN SAY
Extreme
~ADIA
Sarah McLachlan
~MOMENT LIKE THIS
Kelly Clarkson
~BEAUTIFUL WORLD
Jim Brickman
~BAD DAY
Daniel Powter



Here is a link to the lyrics of the songs (remember you can play by using the lyrics, not the titles.)


So here is my layout for it

So if you want to play along- and I really hope you will play along- make sure you link it up at the main site, so here is the blog address again.


And since this is April that means that it is my turn to do some Guest Designing for my favorite ning site Scrapbook Challenges. It is a great site, with lots of wonderful people, fabulous challenges and great sketches. If you haven't stopped by there yet, do so now. Tell them I sent you, okay? And to plug myself a bit more, LOL, here is a link to the page about me, so go check it out.


And I am also GDT at Scrap Tiffany this month, once she gets the page up about me, I will link you to it. I am stalking her blog to see when it goes up, LOL.

Just My Sketches Reveal- February 15

Here is the February 15th Sketch for Just My Sketches and the Blend.


The Songs to Use as inspiration for the Challenge are:
-NO SURPRISE Daughtry
-THANK YOU Dido
-THE REASON Hoobastank
-THE CLIMB Miley Cyrus
-SUMMER BREEZE Seals and Crofts

Here is my layout- I used the lyrics to "The Climb" by Miley Cyrus. The lyrics are "these are the moments I will remember the most." I wrote them around the pictures. They are hard to see, but if you click on the photo you will get a better view of them.
If you want to play and make your own layout with the sketch and the song choices, please do so. You will have four chances to win a nice little RAK. And remember there is also a card team with their own sketch, so be sure to check them out. Here is the link to the website, Just My Sketches.

Well it is official

I am a member of A Scrap Addicts- Just My Sketches team. I am SO excited. I can't wait to start working on her sketches and the musical aspect of it. Here is what Deanne says on her blog

"I'm changing up this blog a bit! I'll be posting sketches but there will be a twist! You have to BLEND the sketch with a song! I love listening to Sirius radio and The Blend station plays a wonderful "blend" of great songs! So I'll be posting a layout and card sketch every 2 weeks, and along with it 5 songs to choose from to inspire you. You can let the title inspire you or choose a stanza from the song, or even let the theme of the song inspire you!"


I hope you will check out Deanna's blog and her sketches.
