Guest Designer at Keeping The Best!

I recently won a challenge at Keeping the Best and was given a chance to Guest Design for Sketch #57! The Sketch challenge has now gone live and I have done my first guest designing gig ever, so EXCITING!! I used the beautiful Magenta papers in the C'est Magnifique kit, some flowers from my stash and some Dylusion sprays! These were taken around sunset one summer evening fishing with my dad on a trip home to the States...brings back warm summer memories with these sunset colors.

I love the Maja Designs paper in my February C'est Magnifique kit, but I hadn't touched them for weeks! I wanted to get one more layout done with the kit as the March kit is waiting and the April kit is on the way, wowza Leslie is organized!!  Here is my last layout for the moment with my February kit, a photo of my eldest daughter Aine (on the far right) and her two besties she's known since she was 4!! I used all kit ingredients and just added some modelling paste masking, some distress stain, and some twine and purple seam binding ribbon.

 I used the Maja mood board to inspire me, focusing on friendship, the colors and lace and twine!

I used yet another sketch from Keeping the Best, they are lovely!

I would also love to enter this in the Red Carpet Studios RCS #28 - Layouts with Ribbon Challenge.

And now for something COMPLETELY different!!

I am so excited to have won the challenge at Keeping the Best
and get to Guest Design for them in April!!

As a member of Scraps of Darkness kit club, I admired DT member Drycha's 3rd Eye stamps she sells for a while! I finally got some last month and finally opened them up today! Her challenge this month is to do a VIVID aka bright project. Definitely not my norm but I do like to get out the inks and play sometimes!! I used many Dylusions sprays for this one. I just love the branch and castle window stamps in her collection and the honeycomb, and...so many more!! I am sure I will use them again, just maybe not in a bright layout so often!!

I used another sketch from Keeping the Best challenge blog, so would love to enter this in their challenge as well...here is their gorgeous sketch:
