The winner for the February-March round is:

"The Wag of a Dog's Tail"

by Amanda aka Qweenofthecrop

These 2 cuties are quite the pair, aren't they? This would be Amanda's boy Sampson and his brother Koa looking out the window, taking a break from playing inside, to check out what the bigger dogs are doing outside. They wag their tags and watch intently from the window...just so adorable! Amanda used the February "Victoriana" kit from Scraps of Darkness to show off these sweet fur babies. Her journal reads: "In the whole history of the world there is but one thing money cannot buy: to wit the wag of a dogs tail." - It is from the very beginning of Lady and the Tramp. Thank you Amanda for sharing this sweet page with us and congratulations on winning!

Scrap that Title Winner!!

For this challenge round, for Scrap that Title, our prompt was DISAPPOINT OR DISAPPOINTED, OR DISAPPOINTMENT.  

This seemed to be more challenging then anticipated, guess that is why it is called a challenge lol.  Our winner for this round is: 

Heather aka Chilvr!!! 

Heather titled her page "Afraid to Disappoint".  The beautiful young girl is her granddaughter, whom she cherishes very much.  So you can imagine how much she means to her.   Heather shared her touching story with us, which we will keep private.  But the astounding beauty of this page needs to be shared with the world!!!  Don't you love all the sparkly prettiness?  The cluster of flowers is perfect for such a sweet little girl, dressed as Snow White.  Heather used Scraps of Darkness supplies to complete this page.  Congrats and thanks for sharing!

We've assembled some gorgeous papers from Glitz Design's Pretty In Pink Collection,  Moxxie's sweet Spring has Sprung Collection, and Pink Paislee's fun Spring Jubilee Collection and added some top notch embellishments from Prima, Glitz Design, Fabscraps, Reneabouquets, and more.  You can see the full list of papers and embellishments on our website.

The lovely ladies and kitty on our Design Team will be treating us all with their layouts throughout the month of April, but I thought I'd share a few of the layouts that have been done, what fun is seeing a kit without seeing some gorgeous layouts done with it?!
