March GDT - Bethany


Hi there! I'm Bethany! I live in Minnesota with my husband, daughter, and our puppy Raleigh! I have been scrapbooking since high school (one of my first jobs was at a scrapbook store!) and I grow more in love with this hobby every year! You can find more of my work at: bethanyroisland.com or at Scrapbook.com Thanks so much for letting me inspire you with some new ideas this month! :)

March GDT - Melissa


Hi!  Thanks for choosing me for LM GD!  Scrapbooking is life!  I love trying all the things.  You can find me over at A Cherry on Top where I host monthly challenges and over at Stick it Down and scrap Our Stash where I am on the design teams.  

I’m currently a stay at home mom to three kiddos and one dog.  When I’m not running around for soccer games, I enjoy watching all the crime documentaries.  My blog is scrappingthehills.blogspot.com

I am so excited that Bethany and Melissa are joining us in March!

Be sure to come back tomorrow for a new theme and a new set of challenges. I know you're going to love them!
