PageMaps sketch challenge

Hi!  Just a quick post here before I head to bed. :)

Becky Fleck is hosting a sketch challenge over at the PageMaps blog, here.  Loved the sketch!


I have had this photo sitting around for a while, waiting to be incorporated on a page.  My mom attended a Stampin' Up! regional seminar with me in Virginia Beach when I still lived in VA.  Shelli Gardner, CEO and co-founder of Stampin' Up!, doesn't always attend the regional seminars, but she was at this one!  We waited in line (I missed out on a photo with her in SLC at Convention that year) to get a picture with her.. yay!  Don't you just love her style?  She's such a genuine person, too.

Well, gotta run!  Thanks for stopping by!

  4. I like how you echoed the colors from the pic into your embellies, the red flower to your mom's outfit and the yellow pompoms to your badge. I agree, your mom looks like she could be your sister. What's her secret??? LOL
