We will be picking a random winner from our Facebook comments from this week. Tomorrow is the day when we will announce our winner so be sure to get your comments in before it's too late!
This first fabulous project is by Tara Orr. It's a fun and inspirational On the Boardwalk layout that she made for Cabadian Scrapbooker Magazine! This wonderful creation has an uplifting message and lively look. It is nice and minimal but obsolutely eye-catching. Take a look at this stunning LO by the amazing Tara Orr!

Great projects, and I love the school square game. I use to play that for hours with my friends when I was a little girl. The graphic on the paper is just perfect for it too.
