I just had to share!  In what must be the quickest reply time ever for a magazine submission, I sent a layout (just a general submission) to Creating Keepsakes at 8:04pm and they picked it up the next day at 1:04pm.  Wow!  So, I'm thrilled to share that it will be in the December Reader Gallery!  Yay!

I thought I'd also share some scrapbook enabling.  Maya Road is having a virtual warehouse sale.  They're offering kits worth $115 for $40 (and FREE shipping).  It'll be a mystery box of older supplies, but if you love Maya Road, this seems like a deal that can't be beat!

Finally, Tara Sroka is offering a *gorgeous* digital kit for summer: Funky Summer Kit.  I think it's my favorite kit ever of hers!  Here are two layouts using this fabulous kit!

I added some doodling to the first layout and used a clipping mask for the second layout to create the palm fronds, but otherwise, everything is from that fabulous kit!

Have a great weekend!
