Teammie Treasury Thursday - Amy of CayennePeppyBags

Hey y'all! I'm back again for a new edition of Teammie Treasury Thursday. I was sick last week with a stomach flu so I had to push them all back a week, but I'm excited to be here with this gorgeous lady's biography! This week I am featuring Amy Jo of CayennePeppyBags. For sure this has been the most fun treasury I've done in a few months. She is just so spunky and fun that I tried to capture that as much as I could.

This week I was inspired by her Aloha Handbag!  How cute is this picture! I love the shoes by the way.

XOXO

Teammie Biography Treasury Thursday - Carol

Hey y'all! I'm back again with another teammie biography treasury! This weeks treasury was inspired by Carol of ceejay60. I had so much fun making this treasury and I hope y'all enjoy looking at it as much as I enjoyed making it!



The piece that inspired me the most was this Ivy print from Carol's shop. The colors are just gorgeous and the composition is beautiful. I was also inspired by one of her favorite songs, "Bring me some water" by Melissa Etheridge.

Click here to see the finished treasury, make sure to click, comment and support your fellow team members!

Thanks for stopping by!
