I wanted to thank each an everyone of you for all your congratulations, support, and sweet comments. Many of them were so wonderful and encouraging and reading them made my day for the entire past week. I loved doing this giveaway and sharing some of my goodies, so I will certainly have to do another one soon!!
I got so many comments! There were 106 comments and when I added the extra entries for all of you who were so sweet to either post on their blogs, or FB, or tweet about it (without posting additional comments), it brought me up to 117 comments. Everyone was assigned a number for each comment and for each posting elsewhere, which I then entered into Random.org. I'm sorry I don't know how to copy the results I got here, but the winner is.....

I'll Be There, Rain Or Shine
*** For my Big giveaway, click pic on right ---->
Still can't get enough of my Emma's Shoppe....I just love the deep red and turquoise color combo. Plus the bright yellow and the pink. So here is another LO, this one with a pic of DD back from our trip to the playground on March 18th. Isn't she beautiful? :)

Layouts and cards, oh my!!
*** For my Big giveaway, click on pic on right ---->
Yep, I have been busy because I have more stuff to share!! First off, a LO I did for fun...no sketch, no assignment, no challenge...been a while!! Still playing around with Crate Paper's Emma's Shoppe. I really love that line, the colors, the patterns, everything about it. It was perfect for a LO of a pic of me as a toddler...appropriately called "I Too Was Sweet Once". LOL...it's true, believe it or not!! Not anymore, but I swear I was, once upon a time :)
To get the border, I took an 8"x8" sheet and placed it in the center of my 12"x12" sheet to use as a guide and roughly drew a border, and then hand drew the loops and then cut out.
For the horse, I adhered the chipboard carousel horse to black cardstock, and then peeled off the chipboard horse, leaving a layer still on the cardstock. I then trimmed, adhered to the page, and embellished with sticker and more chipboard :) I'm kind of happy I still have the carousel horse to use on a different LO - great way to make your embellies stretch!
Next up, I have a Harmonie LO that I did for their April challenge, which is now up on the Blog HERE. The challenge was to make a LO where all the elements are grouped together in a sort of cluster, in just one place on the LO. I'll admit this was a tough one for me since I like to have my stuff spread out! I used the new line "Fable De La Fontaine" and a little bit of the new line "Rococco". I love how the "Fable" line can be used for all seasons. This is a summer LO and last LO I shared using it was a fall LO. So flexible! This is DD in the pool...yep, still working through pics of our Dominican vacation from 1 year ago!
And last but not least, I decided to play along with Bo Bunny's card sketch challenge up on their blog HERE. I had the tiniest scraps left of this line so I figured a small card would be perfect. Let me tell you, I barely made it! But I do like using up scraps :)

Scraptacular April Kit is....
*** For my Big giveaway, click pic on right ------>
...full of Echo Park Playground!! Which I'm super happy about because I was eying that line :) I decided to scrap some pics of our date at the playground from just a few weeks ago (I shared some of the pics here). I scrapped one of DS, one of DD, and one of them together.
First up, is "On The Slide"
Next is the one of DD, with "That Look"
And "Imagine"
And a little card. I used my Sizzix to emboss the pp - that's a Tim Holtz texture fade.

Color Room #51
OK, as I mentioned, I had purchased the Emma's Shoppe (Crate Paper) collection pack and I haven't had time to play with it because I was working on various assignments. But I managed to get a day and I saw that the TCR palette #51 was perfect for this collection pack, so of course I had to dig into it. Here is the result - "Morgan @ 4.5"

A couple fall LO's for Scrapmatts
Hard to believe that it's fall in Australia, which is where Scrapmatts is based...so we're all scrapping fall pics!! Although personally, I love having a good excuse to scrap a different season - it's a nice change of pace :)
So I scrapped a couple fall pics. First up is "Carefree Moment". To create this effect on the laser-cut chipboard, I heat embossed the floral design with dark brown embossing powder. After that, I cut it up and then arranged it around the flowers. The paper is old Basic Grey (anyone remember Romani/Gypsy?? - or am I the only one still collecting ancient BG? LOL) Don't you love it when you can dip into your stash? The perfect way to use some older product is to pair it with some new product - that way it freshens the older stuff up and makes it look more modern :)
I also have a layout using Harmonie's new line, "Fable de la Fontaine". It's a pretty flexible line and could easily be used for summer, spring, and fall, which I absolutely love about it. I've already made several LO"s with it that I'll be sharing down the road, and I do have a few from summer (beach and pool), as well as spring, and now this fall one :) This is DS this past fall, just a few months ago. I colored the flower vines and the little frames with chalk ink. The little frames I used to frame images I stamped with the stamps that coordinate with this line. This one is called "Fall Is In The Air":
