I am so happy today! I got an email from Bookoto today announcing that I won the Diva challenge and that I'll be getting my copy of "Designing with Divas" really soon. YAY! AND... my baby Cheska, kept giving me cute smiles today. She has been smiling lately, but today she really went all out on me.

Anyway on to scrapping.. Here is a couple of pages I made for My Little Yellow Bicycle. They sent me a box filled with gorgeous gorgeous new products. And the timing was perfect because one of the new releases included the Baby Safari Line.



This one features the Zinnia line. Lots of oranges and purples and bold prints. Fun!


Finally, here is a page featuring the photos of my friend April's son - David. I created this for Prima's Build a Page for March using the sketch of the talented Anam Stubbington. Papers include the new "Signs of Spring" and "Mommy and Me", as well as rub-ons and stickers from the "Dude" line

"Diva Valentine on www.bookoto.com"

Bookoto is having a post valentine challenge and give-away. They are giving away "Designing With Divas" book! You can visit the site for more details.

Anyway, I would not pass up on the chance to win that book so here is my entry...



I made this layout so that my children would know that I am NOT high maintenance at all. My husband would always joke that I am - but honestly I AM NOT! I don't buy jewelry. In fact I only have a few pieces and that includes my wedding ring already. I am not into designer clothes, bags, or shoes. But I do splurge on food. That is one thing our family indulges in. And so with that - also comes gym memberships and gym outfits... haha... so do you think I'm high maintenance??? Nah - not at all!

October Afternoon's FULL REVEAL!

I'm so excited about October Afternoon's full reveal. Even us DT members have yet to see the full line. Please head on over to the BLOG today. It will be updated several times today with the new lines and some other fun stuff.

In the meantime, I'd like to share with you a new layout I made using papers from the previous lines (Weathervane and Night Light).



and here is my take on the skecth by the fabulous Celeste Smith! Do join the sketch challenge to get a chance to win a STAMP SET from October Afternoon.

My Two Girls

My 4 year old Nicole Breanna as an angel in the nativity play in their school.

Materials: Papers: Webster's Pages; Stamps: Prima, Autumn Leaves, Inkadinkado

My baby Cheska Pauline - only two weeks old here and giving me a sweet smile already...

Nicole is really a big girl now. She used to be afraid of going on kiddie rides alone, but she surprised me when she eagerly rode the kiddie trucks at Star City on her own - not just once but three times in a row!



Materials: All October Afternoon goodies, plus Fancy Pants Overlay

Prima Winner

I asked my husband to give me two numbers from 1 to 80. I planned on having my daughter participate again but since she only knows numbers 1 to 30 now, it would be unfair to those who posted late! LOL! Ok so my DH gave me the number 11 and 30. 11 for Nicole's birthday which is Dec 11, and 30 for Cheska's birthday which is Dec 30.

So the 11th blogger who posted is : CANDY

Just look at that pile of Prima Goodness that YOU can win!

October Afternoon Goodies Goes to....

I'd like to thank everyone who played along. Check the OA blog for another sneak peek. This line is soooo cute and perfect for baby pages. I'm excited to get this line for Cheska's pictures.

Ok so I got my daughter Nicole to pick the winners and she drew the names from my Maya Road Tin Can. That is after she made me agree to give her the tin can because she insists that she needs it as a container for her candies. haha.

The Night Light Line goes to...



The Weathervane Line goes to...



And the Good Cheer Line goes to...




... sorry about that. After the two draws, Nicole already refused to hold out her hand with the name she picked. Anyway the winner is PURPLE SEA.

To all the winners please email me your address so I can mail the prizes to you.

Hugs!

Webster's Two New Lines

Have you seen the two new lines of Webster's pages? Brandin herself designed these papers and we are all very excited to start creating with these beauties...


Here is a recent project I made with the Webster's Pages Old World Cards, Journaling Cards, and trims. Maya Road provided the DT with some wonderful mini albums and flowers.
