It's that time again..SNEAK PEEK!

It's that time again..the Design Team Sneak Peek at Two Scrapbook Friends. I love when we can post a wee bit of what we have created to inspire you! Here's a bit of my favourite layout for this month. It's called Key To My Heart. Don't  forget to check out the Two Scrapbook Friends DT Gallery for all the full page releases of all the Design Team on February 1st.

I want to thank Joanne and Carolyn for giving me the We R Memory Keepers line this month! It was a joy to work with! I can hardly wait to see what my other DT cohorts have created with their kits!

So, until the next time..keep doing what you love to do.

Hey, Soul Sister!

This past Monday my fellow Two Scrapbook Friends DT  Deanna Woodland posted a layout challenge to scrapbook our friends  . It got me thinking about Sue Sykes challenge to Leave our Leagacy for those who follow. I mean, I scrapbook my family and my travel but not my friends!  My friends are such an essential part of my life and I need to honour them in my legacy. So here is a layout I made to celebrate my best friend Carey Davis. Thanks to Train/Glee Cast for inspiring the title too!

The journalling makes me cry and it's so mushy so watch out! I wrote:

Although we see the world differently, we are soul sisters.
I finally understand what it means to have a best friend forever.
I can't imagine what my life would be like without you in it.
I love it when you laugh at all my jokes
and always take my side, even when I'm being stupid.
Five years ago you saved me from a life without you
and I love you very much.

So while you're out there scrapbooking, don't forget those in your life you hold you up when you're down and who can celebrate even life's smallest victories: YOUR FRIENDS.

Keep doing what you love!

I WON! I WON! a Bo Bunny Prize!

I heard today that I won a prize from Bo Bunny from their last Blog Hop. They are offering a new one which began yesterday here. I am so excited! Their new lines are wonderful and I know they are working very hard at CHA this week. Here is one of my favs by  Vicki Boutin for Bo Bunny:

So make time and get over to Bo Bunny and do their Blog Hop. Their designers have great blogs with wonderful inspiration. Maybe you'll get lucky like me!

So until later: Keep doing what YOU love.

A Button, A Button, Who's got a Button?

Another great idea from Two Scrapbook Friends is being released TODAY! I am so excited to be a part of this dynamic team!

Two Scrapbook Friends Buttons Rewards Program

A reward program for paper addicts… just think, you could receive free product for scrapbooking, participating in challenges or even just talking about scrapbooking!

We are trying out a little benefit program on our Forum and here is how it will work…

Post in the forum – 1 button

Play along with a challenge – 10 buttons

Win a challenge – 50 buttons

Occasionally you will have an opportunity to win larger buckets of buttons as we will be giving away buttons accumulated by either Joanne and Carolyn or members of the DT.  Plus there might be random Bonus Buttons awarded!

So what do the buttons mean to you?  Why should you want buttons?  Well, they translate into free product, that’s why!  And you choose the product!

When your bucket gets full, Two Scrapbook Friends will buy back your buttons in exchange for a gift certificate that you can use in the store or to purchase something on-line!

500 buttons = $10.00 gift certificate

A couple things you should know… this is a trial and may not last forever so best to jump in right away.  Any point question can be directed to Deanna (DeeWoodland) or Joanne & Carolyn at 2friends@execulink.com.

So get out your buckets ladies, head to the Forum and start collecting your buttons.

Keep doing what you love (and collect buttons for it too!)

I am Me.

Well, who else would I be, right? But for most modern women we are so many things in our lives sometimes we forget to just be. This layout was inspire by Sue Sykes Leaving the Legacy challenge. You can check it out on her blog and participate. No only does it help you tell your story but she is challenging us biweekly and offering a little prize too. Here's what I came up with using a sketch from Lucy Chesna at My Sketch World in under an hour! I am thrilled with the results. Let me know what you think and get started on your own Legacy too.

So Excited! Practical Scrapbookers published me!

I was thrilled to open my inbox late last week to discover an email from Christine at Practical Scrappers. She was letting me know that one of my layouts would be appearing on their website! It was the layout about my New Year's resolution to be more accepting using Echo Park Life is Good design.

I was so very humbled and appreciative to be recognized. It is also a thrill to post a badge on my blog to say so!
