I found this challenge exciting as I could try some materials from Nikki - and they are not so easy to find in Brazil.(Unfortunately!). I used Nikkis great paper with colorful trees as basis for my picture.I love this type of challenges as we look at the list and think: OMG...how can I use everything together lol. And in the end, we are always positively surprised with the final layout. One this one I only missed the glitter, but everything else is there.Thanks Karen for this inspiring challenge - actually red is my favourite color ;) Girls, dont miss the chance fo get this wonderful Nikki kit!

Meet our May GD - Krystle....

Hi everyone! My name is Krystle and I live in Albuquerque, NM with my wonderful husband of 7 years. I first picked up scrapbooking way back in 1997 and it has been so fun to see both my personal style and this industry grow over the past 13 years. For me, scrapbooking is a relaxing creative release and a beautiful way to preserve memories. I love everything about this craft, especially sharing inspiration and connecting with other scrappers.

Check back tomorrow to see Krystle's guest designer LO for our May written challenge......
