Shine - You Got This! | Page Maps

The Simple Stories design team was asked to join PageMaps this month to reveal Becky's amazing sketches in conjunction with Simple Stories products.

Becky always seems to push Me. I love that she gives me multi photo sketches because let's be honest, i don't do them very often. I usually like the pages I create for her so it wasn't hard for me to volunteer for this reveal.

This is the sketch I worked with using Simple Stories POSH Collection and a pic of my sweet and sour nephew!

If you'd like to see more of what the team created please visit PAGEMAPS.com and view the reveal for September .. or Click Here!

Hello Pretty Girl | Jillibean Soup & Page Maps

In early April Becky from Page Maps asked the Jillibean Crew if we wanted to create layouts using her sketches. I agreed without hesitation. Becky's sketches are always such an inspiration for me and help me create layouts that I might not normally do. Example; multi photos !!! I have rashes when I create with more than 1 picture. I am really not sure why .. but i do! I always love a good challenge and this sketch was perfect for me ;)

I loved the fact that it had tons of pattern paper options, and yes the 4 pics were a challenge but luckily I was able to find pictures to print!
This is my cousin's daughter Cabrelle. She is super cute in these pictures and It was perfect that her dress matched the papers! ;-)  ~ Hello Pretty Girl ~

WOOOHOOO ! I was a designer chosen for the May 2008 Page Maps Newsletter this month! How exciting!!!
This is the sketch Becky emailed me about 3 weeks ago...


As many of you know... I have a hard time scrapping with lots of photos... so this was a great challenge for me. I had pictures of Marissa from last summer that I hadn't scrapped and the new papers from Crate Paper matched perfectly for these pics and layout too!

If you are interested in having a layout posted in page maps check out the http://www.pagemaps.com/ Site and click on newsletter info... send in your gallery link and info to Becky and you might be a chosen one!

This is the layout that was created with the sketch.

SO, I have a little blog contest for you!
