A BRIGHT new look for the blog!

TGIF!  Anyone else feel the same way?  I thought so! :)  Up here in Canada this is a long weekend (Monday is Victoria Day) so I am extra glad that this Friday has finally arrived.

Connie is giving all of us plenty more reasons to be happy that Friday has arrived ... Check out these super new releases:

INSTA-TEMPS

These are the perfect temps for those of you who are addicted to Instagram as I am.  Lots of little pics = more excuses to break out my phone and snap away!

SWEET hybrid hot stuff!

Happy Wednesday everyone.  Thanks for stopping by Connie's blog today!  

Connie is releasing the first product in a new line of template packs on Friday and I want to play with them tonight so I'm going to make this post a quick (but fun) one.

Today's FREEBIE is a printable treat topper from LORI C. using Connie's SWEET TOOTH collab with me!  We had a super time putting this collection together and I love Lori's creative use of the result in hybrid form.  You can find SWEET TOOTH at any of the following store links:

And the winners are ...

Well, this is the moment that you've been waiting for ... so let's get right to it!

The winners of Connie's iNSD guest CT contest are:

GINA

(using Hope & Faith)

DAWN

(using Happy Hopscotch)

TRICIA

(using My Happy Place)

STACY

(using Supply Closet)

CLAIRE

(using For You)

I've sent all of these ladies an email or PM to set up the details for the guest spots later this summer.  Connie and I had a very difficult time choosing these winners - we were so happy with the postings and I know Connie was proud that her fans are such talented scrappers!  

This was a fun contest!  Maybe we'll have to do this again sometime soon.

Up next is a sneak peek of Connie's PROJECT 2012: MAY which goes on sale tomorrow.  I know that many of you have been awaiting the arrival of this collection and you'll only need to wait one day more!

Today we've got another great iNSD freebie from Connie's team.  Lorraine has put together a super hybrid project using SUPPLY CLOSET.  Please leave Lorraine and Connie a note of thanks if you download!
