STAMPlorations January Theme and Sketch Challenge

It's a brand new year and that means a new challenge up at STAMPlorations! Well actually - I'm not sure if you know it but STAMPlorations has 5 challenges that go on all month long. Each separate challenge has tons of prizes, AND you can use ANY PRODUCT that you want to play along! 

There's one for everybody! Seriously challenges are for:

Clean and Simple 

CASEplorations - CASEing a design

Mixed Media

Anything Goes (this is the only one where STAMPlorations products are required)

As for me - I am on the design team for the Theme and Sketch Challenge. 

You can play along with EITHER the theme or the sketch OR both! 
I decided to be an overachiever and play along with both the theme and the sketch this month.

I used the little birdies from The Bee's Knees - SmallBirds stamp set, paired it with some hearts from the Sketchy Coffee Cups set, and a sweet sentiment from the SENTIMENT BUILDERS: Love set. 

I know you all must have noticed a lack of blogging on my part for the last couple of weeks and here's why:

A Christmas trip to see my family: 

My momma and me.

My sisters and me, all watching "Sisters" at the local cinema.

A giant New Year's Eve Charity Gala that I was helping to plan!

This event hosted nearly 300 people and raised almost $2000 for charity. It was a huge production and was the first year! It was a blast, but I'm so relieved it's over. 

My cousin and me.

Members of the planning committee.

A new job!! 

I just got hired as the Assistant Director of the Career Center within our local College of Business. I'm super pumped! This Monday was my first day and after a week on the job I can tell you that I am SO gonna love it. 

So please forgive my bloggy remiss-ness and now that things are settling down... a little... I'll have some more time to spend in the craft room and visiting you! :) 

Happy 2016!
