I WON!!!!!

I won last week's template challenge over at scrapmatters!!! Wa-hoOOO!!! Ok, so truth be told, they had seven winners last week because they were doing an April Fool's themed challenge. So, there was one random drawing winner and six layouts chosen by six different designers as their personal favorite. Everyone got a $5 gift card to the store, so it doesn't really matter HOW you won.... yup... I was the random drawing winner, not a favorite layout winner. Oh well. I like my layouts (well, for the most part) and that's what matters most!!! And I'm SOO happy with my final selection from the store. I'm loving Ellie Lash's designs, she leans more toward boy papers and elements so, you know why I love her work. I really wanted "Adam" so I used my gift card on that. Then, when I saw this month's quick page exchange is using "Luke" which makes it 30% off, I checked the forum to see what quick pages people are doing and -- !!!!!!-- then I really couldn't resist getting all those great layouts for free. So, I went ahead and splurged ($3!). Here's the preview of both:

Hopefully this week I'll get some pages done with both. Looking through them after I downloaded them, I am so in love!! She really is a great designer!!!

AND-- I'm also trying to quickly finish up this week's challenge. It's a cute template. Deadline is tonight at midnight. Hopefully I'll get the boys to bed in time to have an hour or two to play. We'll see.
