Birthday Wishes & a freebie!

First off, I would like to wish a Happy Birthday to Vasco! He is the fearless leader of all the Wonder Girls at SUN and a fab designer!!! I was going to make actual cupcakes and send them, but I figured they would not have survived crossing the Atlantic, so I just ate the frosting out of the can and called it good!!! I hope you have an amazingly "wonder"ful day!!

* Thanks to Flergs for the BYOC (build your own cupcake!)

Speaking of Vasco, a post or two back, I told you that he was working on a collab with a mystery designer, turns out he was working with Franziska and they come up with this:

From Wonder Girl Joanne (Jaye)

From Wonder Girl Heather (5peasinapod)

The Mother Lode

Have you seen what is going on at Funky Playground Designs? It is huge, they are having a Teacher's Pet Program, and some very well know designers are participating. The amazing part is they are putting their entries up for free, yes - FREE!!! You just need to be registered to receive their newsletter which contains the password to unzip the files. You have to hurry, though, week 1 is ending and the links will disappear. I am waiting (im)patiently for week 2 links.

Here are some of the layouts I did.
from Moon Scraps entry:
I created this:

and for mglScraps entry:

I created this:
Afterall, why would I not choose designers I love!!! Love ya, Vasco and Monica!!! (psst...for those not in the know, they are also designers at Sunshine Studio Scraps!)


Until next time, Wonder Girl Janel signing out.
