And the winners are.......

First let me explain... I have been designing chipboard for Magistical Memories for a little over a year now and I have to say it really has been an amazing experience!!! I know a lot of people still haven't heard of Magistical Memories so this is my way of getting the word out there. If you haven't checked it out yet, please do. I promise you won't be disappointed.


Now... why I picked these 5 winners here... yes 5. Well simply because you put in your blog post that you have never heard of Magistical Memories. :-)

I am so excited. I'm going to see how much I can give away, and most likely I'll be pulling more then one name. Why not right, I never play by the rules anyway.

I'm off to call Crystle to see how much I can actually give away... hope she doesn't kill me. LOL.

And if you have never heard of Magistical Memories chipboard *GASP* go and check it out. Let me know what you think.

My boys

These are my boys, been thinking about them a lot lately. My oldest graduates this year and my youngest graduates next year. They are growing up much to fast.

This layout here I may change up. I don't like the way I did the text strips.




This here is my youngest showing off his birthday PJs. Silly kid.

Doing it the digi way

Did you know I also can do digital layouts?
Below are some of my favorites.



This one is my all time favorite. It's a freestyle digital layout. It was so much fun to create.

---

Do you own one of these i-zone cameras? Well I do and I had let some little ones at my house play with it. Out of some of those little pictures I put this layout together. This was one of my first digital layouts.

---

You probably can't see it but in this photo we were both sporting our afro's. LOL..

---

I actually have this one posted up in my office. I get lots of compliments on it. This little boy is just so adorable, and he really is cheesy like this.

---

This one is super cool. I wrote a tutorial on how to create a photo shop brush out of your photos. Check it out HERE. What do you think? Did I make it sound easy? It really is. I need to brush up on my digital layout skills, I haven't done one in a while.

I just realized I have to many favorites. If you want to see more CLICK HERE.

Family Love

I realized all my first layout postings were layouts all about me... no shame!! So here is some family love.

---

Look at how little they all looked. I don't even know when I took this picture. WOW the memories... this is what it's all about right? Cherishing those memories.

---

This picture was taken during the time I was going through a lot with losing my grandparents, I can't even tell you how I took that picture but I love it.

---

I love this layout! When I completed it the boys looked at it and went aaahhh mom it's so pretty. The coolest part is that they all let me take these pictures with them. My cheesy boys.

In honor of my new scrappy blog.....

Do you love chipboard as much as I do? I mean.....reeaaalllyyyy love it? If so leave me a comment. I'll draw a name... lets say... on the 21st of December ... and I'll send you some Magistical Memories goodies. You can enter more then once.. why not huh... so just leave me a comment.

I just love to give away goodies....

TOP SECRET...
I got the inside scoop on some new stuff coming out in January... OMG.. Crystle is really out doing herself. I can't say what it is but I know all MM fans will love it.

Oh one more thing... the new design team has been picked.... I AM SO EXCITED!!! There was just so much talent it was hard to pick the ones we did. I wish I could send everyone who applied a thank you gift you all deserved it.

Ever wondered what my desk looks like?

This was such a fun and easy layout to create.

This is where I spend most of my waking hours. Do I love it? My desk? Yes a bit. It's my quiet happy place. LOL.

Don't leave home without it

HAHAH ironic thing is I don't even own an American Express card.

I just love all those magazine ad's using the cards so I thought.. hey why not create my own. So here it is.

TFL

Roll with me.

I love this layout. Only because I would never be caught dead with this outfit in public.. no but wait... I do wear those shorts (for running) but that hair.. no way! Oh and the make up... never.. only because I hardly wear any.
