BIG, HUGE, EXCITING NEWS + giveaway!!!

Hello friends, :)

Today I am a 

(happy camper)!  

I finally get to share the secret that I have been carrying around for what seems like a very, very long time.  About a month ago, I received an email from Jamie Gracz inviting me to join the Avery Elle Design Team.  You can read the announcement here. I am beyond thrilled, excited and all those other adjectives for happy.  I remember finding Avery Elle shortly after their launch in 2012 and falling in love with the bold, modern, trendy, and sweet designs, not to mention the amazing cardstock, fabulous ink and gorgeous ribbons!  



Jamie and the team have been hard at work creating some amazing products for the Fall Release that will be introduced this week.  I can't wait to show you some of what I have been working on!  My first post will be for this Thursday's new release blog hop.  After that, my projects will be featured on the Avery Elle blog on Fridays- the best day of the week just got better!  :) 

To celebrate this news, I have an extra Home Sweet Home set to giveaway today!  


Just leave me a comment and I will choose someone at random to win this set (one of my AE favs)! I will announce the winner on Saturday, September 6.

Thanks so much for stopping by!
Katie
