One more sketch

for Memorable Season's Sketch-a-thon, there is still time to jump on over and play along.  I used my Little Yellow Bicycle Winterings kit for this layout - I loved the paper with the trees and didn't want to take away from the design of the paper, so I found a picture of our last Christmas tree hunt and nestled my picture in the trees, perfect!

Here is the sketch I created,

I omitted the second photo and instead used a long title in its place,

Hard to believe we only had 4 kids then, that was a long time ago it seems!!!  Thank you all for your well wishes with our little surprise.  Yes, we are having another one, baby #6 is due in August - I'm still in a daze at the moment!

I loved the soft colors of this collection by LYB and thought it would be perfect to scrap my secret, can you guess?

2012 in review - layouts

Happy New Year's everyone!  I hope you had a blessed Christmas and you are excited about all that 2013 has in store for you. 

When I look back at my scrappy 2012, I am blown away by God's goodness!  About 9 years ago I prayed that the Lord would make me creative because I definitely was not!!!  This year saw all of my dreams and prayers fulfilled in the scrappy world - in February I joined the Memorable Seasons DT which I am now the coordinator of, in June I was asked to join the DT at Wall Sugar (my first manufacture), I then was given the opportunity of a life time to be on the Bella Blvd DT for 2012-2013, I also got to be a cyclist for LYB.  In the publishing world, this year has seen my work published in Scrapbook Trends, Cards, Create, Scrap365 and 2013 will see me published in Creating Keepsakes, Scrap365, and Scrapbook Memories!  Wow is all I can say!

So here is a look at some of my favorites from this year:
