(Kelly) "Life is Pretty Amazing"

*This is our second post for today, please scroll down!*


Good Afternoon!! I'm enjoying a rainy day off of work...trying to clean my scrap-area (it's half of my bedroom, so I can't really call it my scrap room, right?) and I got side tracked and decided to do this post, instead. I have a layout to share that I created for the current challenge at The Paper Variety, a tic-tac-toe challenge. I chose to: Include stitching (I used machine stitching), Create a layout, and include a die cut.
I used a sketch for the March Sketch it Out! Challenge over at ClubCK, the sketch is by Ashley Horton. I'll admit, this sketch is really not my style, but I took it on, and made it work for me! What I ended up with is another fairly clean and simple layout, and I love it anyways. I got to use some of the new Echo Park This and That: Graceful collection, it's absolutely gorgeous. Normally EP's stuff is a little too cutesy for me, but this collection is wonderful! Thanks so much for stopping by and taking a look.
