{page maps...

I am SO excited to say that I was lucky enough to be a contributor for Pagemaps this month! Becky released the sketches a bit early, so I get to share too! Yay!
My layout can be found HERE in the May Sketches and HERE in the Newsletter!

Here is the layout and a few close-ups...




***A few notes...this is actually my sweet little niece and she also adornes my photography business cards. The title work was inspired by a layout I saw at Scrapaganza...sorry girls not sure who the layout was by. Thanks for the amazing inspiration in the store!***

{2 challenge layouts & r.a.k. winner announced...

A. Lisa's challenge...
“It runs in the family” - maybe your entire family wears glasses, or your family has three generations of practical jokers, or you and a child are both left handed, or you and your father love the same disgusting food - like liver. You get the idea.





**The above layout was inspired and a C.A.S.E. {copy and share everything a.k.a: scraplift} from the awesome Jen Jockish...if you haven't checked out her blog yet, do so HERE....you'll be totally hooked!**

and Inspired by a board game – Do a layout that is inspired by a board game. Example: you could use a checkerboard background, you could embellish a page with a game piece or monopoly money, or you could do a page about your family’s game night. Let your imagination run wild.
