Just A Country Girl

A couple of new layouts

I've really been on a creative streak here lately & have done a couple of layouts that I really love.  A few are few dt's so I can't show you yet, but I do have a couple that I can share.  The first one is for the first weekly challenge over at Scraptiffany.  The challenge is to create a layout about yourself using black and pink.  Be sure to go over there and check out the other great layouts by the dt!

The second layout I did is using the new Chatterbox Fabulous collection, just love this stuff and plan on doing a couple more this weekend.  Speaking of the weekend, hope everyone has a great one!

Hard to believe July is here already!  Well, with the first of the month comes a fabulous July kit from creekbank creations!  This kit is jam packed full of great NEW Cherry Arte papers, lots of ribbon, vintage receipts, clips, and tabs.  There are also a custom Creekbank chipboard word, starts, and flowers, red flocking, photo corners, vintage sheet music stars, creative imaginations chipboard alpha, and more!  I would hurry though because both May and June's kits have already sold out!

Back Home Safe & Sound With Some Exciting News!

Well, I finally got home yesterday afternoon from my trip to New York.  I am exhausted!  I went with my mom to visit my brother and his wife and son.  We spent the first day in the city at Times Square, and to be honest I could have spent everyday there!  I just love it!  The next day we visited some historical sites in New Jersey that my mom wanted to see and then after that we went down to the beach and to the boardwalk.  This was the first time that my mom had seen the ocean, so she was pretty much in awe.  It is breathtakingly beautiful.  And while I was gone I received a fantastic email from Tiffany at ScrapTiffany saying that I had made the design team!  She had tons of great submissions, so I am really honored to have been chosen for this!  Be sure to head on over there and check out here site.  I thought I would leave you with a few photos I took while on vacation.

  

Time to Update!

I hadn't realized that I had went a little longer then normal without posting, sorry for all of you that check in to see new posts!  Today I thought I would share a couple of layouts that i did for Christian Paper Crafts Magazine.  If you haven't been over there yet you should really check it out.  We will be launching our first magazine shortly and have a great message board also.  You also have the option of getting the mazine in paper form, ezine or both!  Well, here's two layouts that I did for my weekly challenge over there.

Nature in True Form!

As most of you know I am a country girl and live in a very rural community.  Well, one of my favorite signs of summer is all of the fields become a field of gold.  What I mean by this is that literally millions of goldenrods cover the ground for as far as the eye can see!  This year was the most I have ever seen and I had to get photos to show just how beautiful this is.
