I was asked by lovely Nicole to guest design for Mission To Create. I love the concept behind the challenges… you need to go over and check it out!! 
Here is the layout I created… I used Unity Stamp Co.’s Scrapbook/Collage Collection {… etcetera } for this layout, it fit the theme perfectly.
Hope you like the layout and thanks for visiting! Have a great weekend everyone!

One of my favourite manufacturers that came out of CHA Winter this year in February is JILLIBEAN SOUP.
Their debut lines consisted of evergreen krafts mixed with rich hues… I fell in love with them at first sight.
So when the opportunity came to apply for a design spot on their team, I had to give it a shot. I was disappointed I didn’t make the team but still very thankful to be given a chance to guest design for Jillibean.
I received their yummy products some time back and my layouts have finally been showcased on their blog.
Here are the layouts I created…
The last layout is inspired by sketch #25 over at Inspired Blueprints.
As you can see, I had a blast working with these yummies. THANK YOU Jillibean Soup for this opportunity!

I was made aware recently that there is actually an Earth Day commemorated each year on April 22. So this year, to join in the celebration, I made a little project using old product packaging.
This box was used to contain chipboard shapes and it was a cute sized-box for some recipe cards I had been collecting at supermarkets. For altering the box, I also used bits of scraps from Noel Mignon’s Lovely Day kit.
And here is the final box…
Do remember to join us at Craft Critique on 22 April for Earth Day Carnival. Lots of fun, I promise!

I was blessed to be picked as a Guest Designer for Jillibean Soup a few weeks back. And yesterday I received lots of yummy beans…
The guest designers got to pick what they wanted to work with and I picked the Minestrone collection. Gorgeous, bright, bold colors. LOVE IT!! My spot isn’t gonna be up till August 1 but… I couldn’t wait to dig into the yummy stash. Here’s a little sneak.

Some fun stuff coming my way… got a spot as ‘product tester‘. Thank you GCD. YAY!
In other news, I’ve been down with a nasty neck and shoulder ache, haven’t scrapped much or anything else in fact because of that but I’ll be back soon. Thank you for all the concern. Have a great week all!

Isn’t it so cool that today Unity is having a massive blog hop today? For once, the blog hop will include all our friends and customers as well as the design team, and I heard Angela as well. Start off the inspirational blog hop here but if you’ve joined me from Susan’s blog – WELCOME!!
I am also thrilled to have received Lovely Day yesterday, Noel Mignon’s April kit which I’m guest designing for.
It’s a beautiful kit chockful of yummy goodies. So here is my layout today using this kit and Unity’s March Kit of the Month…
Those trees are from the Unity’s kit of the month.
And I’d like to share a quote today…
Sometimes your joy is the source of your smile, but sometimes your smile can be the source of your joy.
Thich Nhat Hanh
Oh, and if you’ve never ordered Unity, there is an extra special reason to do so today…

Today was one of those days. This arrived early in the morning…
YAY!! It was my Nov guest DT kit from Gauche Alchemy. Amy, the owner, is the sweetest and sent me both the main kit as well as the add-on. And with all the new goodies, who could resist? So I sat down and scrapped and scrapped. And about 6 hours later, I had completed 3 layouts, 1 project and a card. Here are some sneaks…
The kits are chock full of goodies, lots of vintage hard-to-finds. If you like unusual ephemera in your kits, then Gauche Alchemy is the place to go.
I can’t wait for the full reveal… watch for it!
