CTMH Convention Album Contest Layout #4

This is the fourth of the five layouts that I entered into the album contest earlier this month at the Close To My Heart Convention.  As I mentioned in this post, I didn’t start these pages until a week before I left for convention.  I completed this layout the night before I flew out to…

CTMH Convention Album Contest Layout #3

The following is the third layout of my contest submission.  It focuses on the couple that I studied the Bible with and how we came to meet and how my life, particularly my spiritual life has changed…for the better, I may add…since we met.

Mojo Monday Entry

Sketchy Thursday Sketch Challenge

I needed to create a layout for my scrap club and was looking for inspiration when I came a sketch on Sketchy Thursdays Blog.  The sketch was actually for a single page layout…but I personally love two page layouts, so I essentially imagined stretching the 12×12 sketch into a 12 x 24 layout.  I just…
