Visit the DT Blog for a Giveaway!

First off-- if you love a good giveaway like I do, be sure to visit the Design Team blog at Paper Pals before Friday, May 1. Just leave a comment on this post with a scrapbooking technique you'd like to see featured on our Design Team's projects. We want to know which techniques you want to see!

Speaking of Design Team, I just posted some new layouts and cards on the DT blog. First is my Craft It Forward (remember this post?)creation for Brittany... here's a sneak peek!My favorite part of this 12x12 layout is what's in this photo-- it emphasizes the laid back lifestyle you enjoy in Saipan (if you're lucky enough to live there). I made the timepiece look smashed (using a digital brush). The text on the embellishment card says "YOUR NEXT APPOINTMENT TIME IS ____________"... I filled in the blank with the word "Irrelevant". Wouldn't it be nice to ditch the schedule once in awhile?

(Anita and Heather...I've got ideas to Craft It Forward for you too, now I just need to get creating! Someday soon...)

And, specifically for my sisters, I created a layout featuring the three of us Sawyer girls. I used my favorite pic of Julie, Suzanne and I from back in 1982-ish. Here's a sneak peek for that one, too.

You can see the complete layouts here.
