Good Stuff

I won a prize from the Scrapbook Circle Blog Hop!  The kit came in the mail yesterday (super fast!) and I couldn't wait to play with it.  I used the sketch for August on their blog, here.

Here is my take on it:

Although the kit title is "Island Paradise" and is geared for summer, I chose pictures from a trip in January to see the Rose Parade Floats.  I took Ben and two friends.  It was REALLY warm -- don't know how Angie wore her sweatshirt.  This is not my usual style -- and some of the papers are not anything I would pick out -- but that's the fun of prizes!  They stretch me and make me think outside my box.  Love how this came out.  And so much more scrappy goodness to play with!   Thanks to Scrapbook Circle!
