Real Standout at RealLifeScrapped!

Howdy scrappers! While checking emails this morning I was excited to see that one of my layouts was chosen at Real Life Scrapped as a Real Standout for today! The layout chosen was a layout that I created using Lisa Rosa Designs amazing kit Owl Never Leaf You and a template from M&M Designs called Queen of Hearts. To be honest, I thought that this layout was a little too much on the eyes with the bold patterns, but it really grew on me. One of those layouts that I really personally liked, but thought that others wouldn't. Hehe. I guess it's good that I didn't change it. =P Anyway, check out the Real Standouts for today HERE at Real Life Scrapped. And here is a look at my layout. I hope that you all have a wonderful day! =D

What's New?

Howdy everyone! I hope that you are all doing well. I know that it has been a while since I have done a proper blog post. I was quite ill in September and was in the hospital for most of the month. Now that I am feeling myself again I am right back to doing what I love! =D I am going to share some of my newest layouts with you today and show you some of the new things around digiland. Before I begin, I would be delighted to know what types of freebies are your favorites? I want to start including some freebies in my posts for all of you to enjoy, but I don't want to waste my time if you won't use them. So if you could comment below and just let me know what you prefer or what you use the most that would be fantastic! All right then. Here we go!
