Hello!!!! Hope everyone is doing well out there - life is busy, busy, as usual!!! I am excited to share with you that I was asked to guest design for Work In Progress kits this month. I have admired Trish's kits for a long time now - way back to the days of 52 Sketches 52 Weeks when she was a sponsor for us :) She has a wonderfully talented group of designers working with her & her kits are simply gorgeous. This month's was no different . . .

So far I have worked on 2 layouts . . . the first, "Grammy Love" features some recent pics of Ryan with my mother - love these . . .

A quick close-up on the title work - love these Making Memories alphas from the kit!!!

The other layout I worked on "Enjoying Fall" features these adorable banner die-cuts from the kit . . .

A quick close-up on the banner - the cream alphas are actually die-cut from some of the packaging & the die-cut banners were covered with a bit of patterned paper from the kit - LOVED the mix of papers here!!!!

I will be back to share more from this fab kit in the next week or two. Be sure to head over to the Work In Progress blog - it is FULL of inspiration - definitely one of my daily reads!!!

Have you been over to the Blue Moon Blog today??? My most recent layout was posted today - a fun mix of all sorts of new patterned papers!!!

The pics look like polaroids but it is really just in the way I cut them from the photo paper - sneaky, sneaky, sneaky!!!

Before I go - I want to show you an AWESOME tool I found yesterday . . . it is called a Punch All Over the Page by Martha Stewart. Check it out . . .


Photobucket

The punch I bought was the pinking circle & I was able to use my 40% off coupon - I can't wait to use this on a layout!!!

Have a fab rest of the week!!! Be back Friday to share my work for My Creative Scrapbook!!!
