I made the design team!!!!

I am super excited to announce to everyone that I was accepted to be a part of the Laurel Lane Designs team!! I had always dreamed of one day to be able to create something for a crafty company.  Not only do I get to play with Laura's beautiful cards, but also have an opportunity to meet other crafty ladies who have similar interests as me. I feel so greatful to start off this amazing new year by getting lucky enough to be on this design team.
