The big news and February part 2

Hellllllloooo category stories!!

Sarah here with some exciting news! (only a day late due to pregnant brain.. lol) After debating around with our fabulous new team we have decided to go back to 2 categories a month! We will now be posting a new category on the 1st AND the 15th of the month. Doing BOTH categories this month will give you twice the chance to win the fantastic prize from my favorite site TallyScrapper.com. Since this is a new developement the original February Category “What I love about _____” will still be due Feb 28th. So no worries…..You still have plenty of time to get it in. We want to see it!!

I hope everyone had a very lovey dovey Valentine’s Day. In the spirit of time for love our 2nd category this month is….. “DATE NIGHT”

The design team did a FABULOUS job getting cranking these without much notice. Check out what they created.
