Growing Memories! and Some Exciting News!

Welcome my crafty friends! Today I have another 12X12 layout for you and some exciting news!

   I made the Design Team over at Bear Hugs Paper Piecing. I told myself I wasn't go to try out for this, since summer was just around the corner, but I couldn't help myself once I had a look at all the SVG files that were just screaming for me to start creating with. I knew deep down that I would be kicking myself in the butt if I didn't at least try out for it and was just so excited to hear that they wanted me.
If you have not been over to Bear Hugs Paper Piecing, please go over and check them out,  they even have a weekly Freebie just for you.

 So for my first project as a Design Team Member I decided to create a layout using the Gardening Thyme SVG file.

This is just part of this great set .

I wanted to play along in a couple of challenges also this week, so first I went over to  Let's Get Sketchy. to see what this weeks sketch was and I knew right away I wanted to play along with them.

 I also wanted to play along with this weeks colour challenge over at I came, I saw, I created.

and last but not least I went over to Welch Creations to see that this weeks challenge is to use at least one SVG or Cricut cut.

 I know I went a little bit crazy with the pictures, but I couldn't help it.

So when you put them all together this is what I came up with. I think the layout turned out pretty darn nice, if I say so myself.

Along with the Gardening Thyme SVG from Bear Hugs Paper Piecing I also used the following  Cricut cartridges to create my layout.

Lacy Labels- Photo mat

Graphically Speaking- word "memories"

Baby Steps- word "growing"

Phoo and Friends- clouds.
