********************************

It's the start of a new month, so it's time to say goodbye to our guest designer for August - Amanda Taylor. Amanda, it's been wonderful having you with us!!! Thank you so much!!!

I'd like to introduce you to our very talented guest designer for September, Jessica Wilson!!!

Jessica Wilson is a stay at home mama living in North Carolina with her husband, Anthony and two beautiful souls, Lucas and Isabelle. Jessica has a passion for anything creative, such as scrapbooking, photography, and different forms of art. She spends her days playing with Lucas and Izzy, teaching them new things, enjoying their laughter, and occasionally dealing with the unwarranted whining and crying that come from a two and four year old! Jessica is a southern girl that enjoys the simpler things in life. Spending time with those she loves, enjoying their presence, and being able to document all of it is very important to her. Jessica is currently designing for a fun challenge blog called These Are A Few of My Favorite Things, and enjoys a creative challenge of any kind.

Welcome Jessica!!! We are so glad to have you with us this month!!!

and now...
ON TO THIS WEEK'S CHALLENGE!!!!!!!!!!

The months just fly by, don't they? It's already time for movie week again! This month we are paying tribute to the movie "Napoleon Dynamite," with the song "We Are Going To Be Friends" by the White Stripes! We hope you enjoy the song as much as we did!!! - it's got a ton of scrappable lyrics, and the timing seems appropriate with school starting up again in September for lots of folks!
