its a beautiful day

I cannot tell you enough just how gorgeous it is here today.It was a beautiful and warm day,up in the low 70's.It was soo nice to get outside to let the girls run around,it has been just soo cold lately,and this crazy warm weather rolled in!Aside from it being a beautiful day,its also the first of the month!This month brings two new scrappy teams for me at Dixie Pieces and Simple Scrapper.It also means a fun new kit at Dixie Pieces.I made this fun layout with this months kit,which i will share with yall tomorrow.With my very first challenge over at Scrap Fit,to use an all white background,I created this fun layout.I was challenged with the new kit,as it contains very little-to no color and focuses mainly on Black and White paper,so I created my own paper with a fun stamp,then I traced and hand cut a chevron paper.What a fun way to crate a fun element for a birthday party!I loved the challenge,and pushed myself a bit farther than i have in a longtime,which was a great time!Please stop on over to Scrap Fit and see what all the other ladies did with the challenge,and come back to peek at the new kit "coloring book" tomorrow!
