Ten Random Facts...
I love Color.
I hate to sit through a movie without a drink and popcorn!
I'm obsessed with Instagram and Twitter! {Follow her at maggiedesign}
I LOVE to snuggle with my babies.
I hate folding laundry, but I LOVE to iron!
I like my drinks with a cup and straw - even at home!
I really wish that I could play the piano well.
I LOVE date nights with my hubby, even if we just walk around Target!
I'm constantly decorating and changing things up around my home.
People tell me that I'm always smiling. I guess that's because I'm truly happy...because I feel blessed to have such a wonderful family, and I get to play a role in this amazing industry - inspiring and teaching people through photography and scrapbooking!
Today is Worth Remembering...
This is just an everyday photo of me and Emily - my journaling talks about how everyday is worth remembering -- even if we aren't doing anything special. I created the banner pieces by using my label punch to make labels and then cutting one end of each label into a banner shape.
Beautiful Baby Girl...
Even though this photo is a little blurry, I still love it! I can't get enough of my Instagram pictures that I print through postalpix. First, I misted on the background with Mister Huey's Studio Calico mist and then, punched circles from all of my favorite papers to create the design!
Happy Memories...
I love the "happy" chipboard letters so much, and knew I had to use them on a layout! They're random and eclectic - mixed and matched - which is perfect for my random mixed up style! As you can tell, the Random collection is right up my alley! I can't get enough of it!
Crate Paper would like to send a special thank-you to Maggie for exhibiting her talents here on our blog! The colors and projects are just as we expected - alive and resoundingly beautiful! It's been an honor - we hope you'll join us again in the future, Maggie!
