Simply The Best - April 2012

[Alessandra Designs]

Welcome to "Simply The Best" hosted by Alessandra Designs.

Every even month we will have a new challenge called "Simply The Best" hosted by me. Like the name suggests, we will be talking about what, in your opinion, is simply the best. It can be a restaurant, city, make up, food, anything that will help me to know each of you better. I don't have time to create a Layout, but I also want you to know me better, so I'll talk about my Simply The Best here, in the original post.

We are, in my humble opinion, in the most beautiful season of the year so I though, what is the most good looking flower you? That one that makes your smile simply by looking at them?
I just love them and I'm not sure why...lol!!!
Now, tell me about your "Simply The Best" good looking flower?

I will need a photo AND JOURNALING. Please don't skip journaling. Only the title isn't enough.

You will have the whole two months to post your layout. But there are some rules to follow.

I want you to scrap from your heart and without any limitation, except for good taste, lol. Let's have fun and let people feel as if they were here with us!

You can use whatever kit you like, to create your layouts, but in order to qualify to the posting bonus, you have to use at least 3 items from a Digitals Designer. It can be freebies or purchased.

You also cannot “double up” on challenges, meaning you cannot use the same layout for different Digitals challenges. Each layout needs to be exclusive to that challenge. Other than that, there are no requirements.

When you are done creating your layout, post it to this gallery:
http://digitalscrapbookpages.com/galleria/showgallery.php/cat/1426

Then copy the link and paste it in this thread, so we will all be able to see the layouts you've created and send to you this beautiful bonus from Angie Young:

Although I don't have time to create a layout sample for you, I will just delight myself seeing yours! Keep them coming!

Have Fun!!!

Alessandra

I have just posted my LO to Simply The Best, and I have always loved the flowers on the Dogwood Tree, both for their beauty and for their meaning.
