New Opportunities - Anna Griffin

Years ago I was introduced to scrapbooking when I was pregnant with our second child; I fell in love immediately.  I have always loved paper/pens/pencils/office supplies and then add to it pictures of our new little girl, I was in heaven.  I began to pray that the Lord would make me creative and as I have said before, the journey has blown my mind!  

I have been so blessed to have been on design teams for challenge blogs, kit clubs, and manufactures.  I have been published online and in print magazines.  I have done a podcast.  And now...

I have had my work on HSN with Anna Griffin!  Yep, I received an e-mail a little bit ago asking if I would like to create for them.  At first I was a little surprised, actually a lot surprised because I don't really consider my work to be her style, but I thought it would be fun to give it a try.  If you follow me on instagram, you got to see a picture or two of my cards on TV.  So today I thought I would show you one of my assignments that I did.  I can't wait to hear what you think!

So let's start with my favorite layout I created, this was an assignment to use the border stickers sold here...

I tried to replicate the Eiffel tower with the borders in this layout.

And of course a baby, because that is what I am most used to scrapping.

And I created a few cards too...

There were many different things to consider as I designed for Anna Griffin, one being, you don't use pictures of your own.  My kids kept asking who are those people, mom?  

I was actually surprised how easy it was to create with materials that aren't my normal.  I enjoy a challenge and I really think it helped shake up my normal scrapbooking and give me a new wind.  

So what do you think, did I do Anna Griffin justice?  

Thanks to all my readers for taking the time to comment and let me know you are here, I love reading all the comments!  I have contacted the winners of the Pebbles giveaway and will have your boxes out this week.
