Courtney Style

Well, my time as a Guest Designer for My Mind's Eye has come to an end. I can't believe it! I have been SO honored to be a part of this FABULOUS DT for a month! These ladies are so sweet, kind, generous, and encouraging. Thank you SO much for having me and I'll still be participating in all the challenges because I LOVE My Mind's Eye!!!

I also want to thank the My Mind's Eye fans!!! You have been SOOO welcoming and I have read all of your comments and responded to those that I could respond do! I really appreciated the warm welcome and support!!

Without further adieu, here is "Courtney Style".

I needed a couple of shape cards of course.

I made the banner for the 4th of July of course, but wanted to share it with you anyway.

And the last project was for a friend's set of twins for the road trips this summer. They were going to drive all over the place and I thought this could keep them entertained for a bit! I also wanted to leave room on each page for them to write down some of the special things that they "spied".

I read a lot of your comments and you were wondering how we lived in 450 square feet and where I kept my scrapping supplies. So I thought I would show you!

Yes, that is Casablanca on the TV. I always put movies on in the background to inspire me. Spoon is sitting on the chair next to the one I sit. Under the TV there is the white sideboard. The left side of that is where I hide my die cutting machines, laminator, and paper cutters.

I also have a drawer in the white cupboard behind the couch.
