It's been awhile since I've been on here. I haven't stop scrapping just haven't been posting here. Because things keep me from taking a moment to post. So, sorry about that. I wanted to let you know that the winner of the contest was posted on Facebook (see post below - about DH) the winner was Rosa. She did receive her prize and loves everything in it.

Here are a few of the layout I created since I was last on here. I am going to try to post some tutorials I did on Scrapbook Challenges. Please note that all the sketches I used to make my layout were created by Pamela Young.
