I squealed to myself last week when I found out that Jessica Dunn of Curio Pantry will be a guest designer at The Lilypad. I took the chance ad approached her to be a part of her CT team and she said yes! So here I am on another team... mainly just at The Lilypad for Jess for now.
For this month's BYOC she has a lovely kit called Cottage Retreat on offer.
Juli has a very Disney-focused bundle for this month's Buffet sale at Gingerscraps called Capturing Magic
As we haven't been to Disney I have had to stretch myself for my layouts and will even go off-theme on some.

Lately - Fill half your page with journaling
Finished & Sequential Storytelling
Messy - Stack elements and photos in a tall column - See Weekend Warmup #4

All the Feels & Full sentence title
Degrees - Extensive use of brushes and stamps
Alive - Repeat your photo with different filters or visual effects
Edited 18 July 2026 - all the hard work on this month's challenges paid off as I won the lucky draw for a $50 gift card.
