My Uncommon Miracle

Hello, all! Happy Friday! Hope it's going to be as gorgeous where you are as it's supposed to be here!

Today is my last featured post over on the Authentique blog. Super sad, I know, but I am coming away from this experience with tons of...well...experience! I feel like I've grown so much as a crafter since being a part of Authentique's first design team (as well as my own!!). I've challenged myself to push outside of my crafty comfort zone and I genuinely feel that the work I have created while on this design team have been some of my best.

Alright, sappy stuff aside. Let's get down to business! I have a layout to share with you and then I'll get on with the good stuff...a giveaway!!

This is the layout that I created for my post today:

So pretty, if I do say so myself. :) I love how this turned out! Be sure to check out my post for more details!

If you've been following me for a while, you know that I tend to always use a sketch or some sort of inspiration to create from. Well, this layout is no different. I used a sketch from a sketch book I found at my local craft store. I can't show you the sketch because I'd be violating the copyright laws, but just know that it looks like my layout. :)

Now, on to the good stuff! To celebrate (or mourn, you're call) the end of the Authentique design team term, I am giving away one Genuine collection.

Pretty, isn't it? :)

Here is how you win: Become a follower of my blog (and Authentique's blog if you aren't already), then leave me a comment! Simple as that! I'll leave this giveaway open until Saturday, March 31st at midnight CST and I will draw and post the winner on April 1st! Giveaway is for US and Canadian residents only.

Thank you so much for following me on my Authentique DT journey and be sure to stay tuned because there's always something to scrap! :)

  3. Your layout is fabulous - love it! I am a new follower, and wonder, like Deborah, why I haven't been following you already! Thanks for the chance to win. Authentique has become a 'go to' paper for me. There is not one pattern that I don't adore! Thanks again! By the way, your link on the Authentique page does not work - I had to type in the address manually in the address bar. Hugs!!!

  10. OMGosh! Cristine - this is just absolutely ADORABLE! I love that photo - just TOO CUTE! Why do they have to grow up so quickly - I wish you could just keep them at that age! The papers are just perfect and I love the rosette trim - something I have not experimented with before - but you are inspiring me so much - thank you. Sorry to see your DT term end - will miss seeing all your FAB creations. I am now a follower so will keep watching you (already a follower on Authentique's blog!) Thanks again :-) x

  24. I love this layout! I love the look of black and white mixed with a pop of color and you did such a fabulous job with it! I must say, I love your title, too, but for different reasons. When my son has me busting up laughing over something he did or because he's in a fit of giggles, I always tell him that he makes me my heart smile so I can totally relate!
