One lucky winner will win this fabulous kit called "Spring Melody". This is April's kit so if you can't wait to see if you won, they are on sale now! I got to play with last month's kit and lemme' tell you, these are such fun kits! You're going to love it!



How do you win? You simply create LOs using my sketches from the month of April and post your creations in the Mr. Linky box below the post. The more you complete the better your chances are of winning! One winner will be chosen on May 1st.

Perfectly Posh

I've been really into challenges lately so when I saw this sketch challenge on the Imaginisce blog, I had to participate. The photo is a little blurry because my Photoshop is giving me major attitude lately so....it is what it is. These are my cutie girls.





I used the Perfectly Posh collection by none other than Imaginisce.

Here's another LO I made using American Craft's Letterbox collection for Your Scrapbook Stash. Man, I'm getting alot of use out of this month's kit!


We always tease my little red-head about her red hair and the fact that she was born just a week before St. Patrick's Day. She definitely picked up on the Irish side of our ancestors.

Life

Life is hard for many people right now, including me. But one thing that keeps me going is the thought that I know that we are given beautiful skies and things of nature to beautify the earth and for our enjoyment.
I love this picture I took of a sunset during a tour of the wind power plant we took with the scouts. I just love it, I even set it as my screen saver. I found this great sketch from Pagemaps. The winner of this Pagemaps challenge wins a Cricut. Ya, you read right...a Cricut!










There is still plenty of time for you to enter the challenge too. Head over to the Pagemaps blog for details.
