First Publication with My Little Shoebox and Cottage Cutz

I'm so excited to share my first publication.  I know many of you have been published tons, but I've never submitted.  I did submit for a contest My Little Shoebox was having to feature a layout in their February ad.  I was thrilled when I found out my layout won.  Finally after months of waiting Northridge February magazines are being released...and my layout is in it. 

I used all My Little Shoebox papers and of course had to use Cottage Cutz that matched the MLSB lines.  I used the following dies:

Here's the GREAT part for you...hopefully I've inspired you and your ready to do a layout, right?  Well the current challenge over at Scrapping Cottage is do a layout and use some of their dies and you might just win .  Be sure to head over to Scrapping Cottage's blog and check it out.

Sharing My Secret Box

I'm super excited to share this little box I created this weekend...I LOVE IT!!!  It's from a tutorial I saw on Splitcoaststampers "Secret Box" .   I've used My Little Shoebox papers from the Audrey Collection and the really cool part is the matching dies from Scrapping Cottage.  Honestly it's just so much fun to create.  Now let me show you everything this little box has going on.
