Happy St. Patrick's Day!!!

I love St Pat's Day. Green is one of my fav colors and it reminds me that Spring is just around the corner. I am a wee bit Irish, so...if you create a project this month using a four-leaf clover, the word lucky, or lots of green...link me up. I'd love to see it and it will earn you one ballot in this month's drawing for scrap goodies.

I've Gone ETSY!!!!!!!!!!

Yes...I have my own Etsy shop! I am a lover of all things vintage, including photos, books, postcards, lace...and now I have a shop dedicated to all of my favs. Kevin & I travel to auctions frequently. He shops for his favs (sports and fine collectibles) and I love to search for vintage treasures. Click on my direct link in the blog margin or visit Etsy at www.etsy.com. My username is Keelyyowler.

Mix It Up...

I love creating layouts, but my passion extends to cards, mini-albums, and altered art, too. I just received a shipment of the new Fashionista line from Graphic 45 and created this card and altered canvas. TOO fun!

Here is another chance to be entered into the March challenge. Visit one of my fav sites, 52 Sketches 52 Weeks, and complete any of the March sketches. Link your layout to Julie's site (52 Sketches 52 Weeks) and to this site. Tada! You are entered in 2 drawings for some awesome goodies.

Have a great day!

A New Class...

These are the projects we will be creating in my monthly class at Lasting Legacy. This month I chose the Dream Dining Room collection by Heidi Swapp. The papers are just SO pretty and perfect for heritage or baby pics. The class will be Tuesday, March 10 from 6-8pm. Hope you can join us!

March Madness Challenge...

One of my fav books to turn to for inspiration is "We Dare You--Scrapbook Challenges about Real Life" by Kristina Contes, Meghan Heath Dymock, Genevieve Simmonds, & Nisa Fiin. Whenever I look at the challenges and layouts, I am inspired by the honesty and guts it took to lay it all out there...to really put their inner most feelings on paper. I'll admit...I'm a happy scrapper. I scrap about fun and happy times. I live in my own little happy world and I'm really not one to confront things. That's why this is such a challenging...challenge. This month's challenge comes straight from the book...

THE WORST THING: Most people don't broadcast it, but we all struggle with it. That little something about yourself that you just hate. Something you are ashamed of. Something you cringe over. Create a page about it. Maybe this is your chance to change it, to move past it and make yourself the person you want to be.

Layouts are due March 31 at midnight EST. I will randomly draw one winner on April 1st to receive some super COOL goodies from Your Memories By Design. It you haven't visiting their site...pop on over and say, "Hi", and check out the awesome stuff in the store. Post a link to your layout for 2 chances in the drawing. Leave a comment telling me what you would consider THE WORST THING is about you and earn one chance in the drawing. Spread the word about this challenge. If a friends leaves a post and says you sent them....they will earn one chance and you will earn another as well.

This challenge isn't meant to spread negativity. Exactly the opposite. Hopefully, by reading about others and acknowledging these things ourself, we'll remember that we are all human. Give yourself a break and give your neighbor one, too.

We have a winner....

Congrats to...
