Design by Diana Blog Hop!


Welcome to stop #5 along Diana Fisher's 3-year blog anniversary blog hop!

I was so honored to be one of the ladies Diana asked to be on this hop. I met her through her former sketch blog, Sketchy Thursdays, and on a scrapbook forum, Scrapfreak. I served on her design team at ST for a term and have remained online friends with her since. I absolutely adore Diana, her work, and her sketches (and we're even Starbucks Pumpkin Spice Latte buddies). :)

Diana wants to celebrate her 3-year blog anniversary by giving the anniversary gifts to YOU - the readers! Hop on through the blog hop to find prizes and inspiration along the way. Plus, there's a chance to play along with us! Use the sketch Diana made, link your entry back at her blog, and you could win a $30 shop credit to Scrapbook Circle. You have until Monday, April 30, to complete the hop and link up your sketch challenge entry to be eligible for the hop prizes!

Now, here is the layout I made using her sketch:
