Hello friends!

Can you believe February flew by in the blink of an eye? It was packed with so many games and inspiring prompts as we kicked off our 20th birthday party celebration — along with our super fun “Connect & Create” challenges that brought an extra layer of excitement to the mix!

Today, I’m thrilled to highlight just a handful of the gorgeous layouts from February’s Connect & Create challenge, where the goal is to choose a prompt from the left and creatively match it with one on the right from the complete list. The gallery is overflowing with stunning pages — each one showcasing incredible talent, heartfelt storytelling, and so much creativity. Each of you truly have so much to be proud of!! So let’s just right in, shall we?
