My Design Team layouts for Paper Pesto are now showing on their blog.
I really loved working with the October kit. Gorgeous papers, funky chipboard, beautiful rub-ons, fabulous rhinestones and cute buttons.
So here are the 5 layouts I did. The instructions for the first one are up in the Paper Pesto classroom, if you want a step-by-step guide for how to put this page together.





It made sense to submit the first 4 layouts to the Basic Grey gallery, since I used so many of their products (paper, buttons and chipboard). And they’ve accepted the first 3! Woohoo!
Onto another topic now. Do you LUV my blog?
This morning I noticed a pingback on my blog, so I went to check it out. Lo and behold, I see that I have been featured on Blogs We Luv! Yay!!!
I was inspired by my friend Teeni to answer the 10 Questions, and see if I was chosen. I only submitted my answers yesterday! Pretty quick, huh?
So … check out my interview here and give me some LOVE (by clicking on the hearts at the bottom of my interview). Go on, you know you want to!
Of course we love your blog, and you are completely right what you said in your interview, it’s always positive, I enjoy reading.
I had to chuckle to myself, ’cause I was going to sit down and post a message. I was at Chipmunks the other day and was flicking through an old copy of Little Treasures, and came across your little contribution about the funny things kids say, (and then of course the first thing you say in your interview, is how you love your blog for recording those little things!)

Hannah, you are such a talented scrapper! I love seeing your completed works of art!
I love the colours you have used, just brilliant. We have just got the new BG papers in at work so this has given me some inspiration to get some challenges done using them.
How wonderful to have more layouts accepted on BG, I must say I feel pretty proud when they do accept mine.
Congrats also on getting you blog on Blogs we luv, of course I love your blog it’s always so inspiring!

Your layouts are so wonderful! These all look great. I just wonder how you get all that 3-dimensional stuff in there and still are able to close an album. I really enjoy all the little squiggles and silk flowers and buttons in this group. Congrats on getting so many layouts accepted! Wow. And also congrats on getting your ten questions featured so soon. Mine took a while (they probably had a hard time deciding if I was a looney case or not).
But at least I’m the happy kind. LOL.

Hi Hannah – loving those layouts as well. This BG paper range is fantastic and congrats on getting into the BG Gallery. As I too am new to blogging don’t quite understand the Blogs I Love thing but loved your answers to the questions and am probably one of the many lurkers for a long time to your blog as I really enjoy reading it.

well done on getting three of your layouts accepted into the gallery. Thats awesome and all of those layouts are great. Loads of inspiration there for people to be be inspired. Well done on the interview some good points there. I am pulling back from blogging and leaving comments etc. I found I was spending too much time leaving comments on other peoples blogs and starting to feel that it was one way traffic.

Hey, hon! So so sorry that I haven’t been able to comment so much. These are just awesome. And a firm reminder of why you deserve to be on the team. I am completely down about scrapbooking at the moment but it gives me such a wonderful feeling looking at your layouts and seeing all that you have acheived. My faves are the first two. Just excellent, Hannah! *smooches*
