I've been awarded LOTD - Layout of the Day!

How cool is that? Over at Brownie Scraps, I entered a lo I did with another Brownie Apprentice's kit, and they chose to honor it with LOTD! I was sick with the flu all day yesterday, so I didn't even know it! lol I happened to be somewhat well enough to get online today...(hope I'm making sense here...thank you, Lord, for spell check!) and found all these comments and congrats...I was totally clueless!

This is the page that was chosen...


It's part of a two page spread, here's page two:


and the full spread:


The ladies were all asking for a template, and I feel kinda bad...but this was a scraplift I did for a challenge at ScrapMatters....Brittney of Britt-ish Designs is the original creator, here is a link to her design.

ScrapMatters has a challenge called Grand Theft Layout, and I chose to lift that lo...this is the lo I created for that first challenge:


and if you know me, I did a 2 page spread, so here is page 2:

My Very First Kit!

Now, you all know I love Scrapmatters...but, someone told me about a little challenge over at Brownie Scraps. This is a 6 week design challenge, meant to help those of us who want to design, yet aren't sure where to start. So, since that is where I want to go, I signed up. I can't believe in the very first week they have you making a kit! Wow! By the end I'll have my very own mega-kit!

So I took some time this week, and made a kit...it will be available FREE on Monday at Brownie Scraps. But only for ONE WEEK...after that we get to do with it what we want. I'll post a direct link when it goes online, and then I want you to make a lo with it, and show it to me! Please?

Here is the preview:



Here is the first lo I've done with it...


Please tell me what you think...I'd love some constructive criticism.

Blessings,

PS I know it's called "MERCHi makes it!" I guess I should change that to Button *Ü* Babies, huh?

More Wonderful News!

Gosh, it seems like the love just keeps flowing! I was chosen as a challenge winner for January! Over at ScrapMatters, they challenge digi-scrappers almost everyday, and then chose a favorite for each challenge from all entries...and yay! they picked me for January 13th Tuesday Template Challenge! This is the lo that was chosen:



The right side was done for a Saturday Special Challenge:

I've been lifted!

I'm so thrilled! It is an honor to be chosen to be lifted! This means that someone liked my lo enough to want to copy it...but in this instance, that person is making a challenge of it! So lots of people will copy it...really, what an honor!

You can read about the challenge here, and why not join in?

This particular lo is my Bea Happy lo, the one I first did for Teri Mayo with her new kit "He Loves Me". I love the photos of my little Honey-Bea, even though she wasn't happy!
