A Scrappy Post :)

I know my last three posts have not really been scrapbook related, but I enjoyed reading and appreciated the comments! :)
Today is all scrapbooking starting now!
First a layout...
I found myself choosing all My Mind's Eye product to work with this month from ScrapGal. For this layout, I wanted to use my favorite style - clean and simple. Wit the two die cut cards, plus two photos and a journaling block I created out of a piece of MME patterned paper, I was able to set it up pretty quickly! I used my corner rounder so the photos and journaling would resemble the die-cuts. Three floral stickers from this...
sticker sheet (two of them pop dotted) and some October Afternoon letter stickers and a label sticker. Done! I think typing and printing up what I wanted to say was actually the longest part.
Anyway, now I have a layout that looks like it's about two girls playing dress-up, but really tells the story of a close relationship between cousins :)
Kind of following my previous challenge to use a photo, but make the journaling/story about something else :)

Second, do you read this magazine?

This is the April 2012 issue. You can find one of my layouts on page 32 and 33 this month. It's a two page layout so it has a two page spread :) This is only my second publication so it is still pretty exciting seeing my work in print!! :) I should be able to share it on the blog soon, but I have to wait just a while longer.

And last of all, I have been asked to stay with the Scrapgal design team for another term :) You can see the blog post here of new and returning design team members.

I'll be back with a Valentine's Day post on Wednesday.
Hope you have a day filled with love and happiness tomorrow!
Happy Valentine's Day!
