Wow! What great giveaways. thanks so much for the opportunity to win one. As for NSD, I wasn't going to get to do anything scrappy related, I was a bit bummed because I've not been able to be scrappy on NSD for the past several years, however the rain changed my plans and I find myself completely free. WOOHOO so a day full of scraping and card making is now on the agenda.
Posted by: Sandy Liles | May 04, 2013 at 05:06 AM
I've picked up my pictures at the store this morning, so I could finish week 15-18 for Project Life and now I'm looking for inspiration to make some cards.
And I just love your free downloads!

Creating in my scrapbook room with a friend tonight. I love this new form of scrapbooking. I've called it chunking for years, breaking up the 12x12 page into more manageable parts. Using this concept right now for my daughter's baby album and starting a year in review using your new snap 12x12 pad and 4x6 cards + elements. Wish Michael's carried more!
