Please welcome our guest GutterGirl, Jesse!!
My name is Jessica and most call me Jessi or Jess. Whatever is fine with me. Scrapbooking is my passion. I think of myself as a Life Artist(thanks to Ali Edwards) and I believe that I am unique and I'm telling my stories how I want to!! I have long been a fan of Gutter Girlz and Rachel Whetzel and am so honored to be your Guest this month. Please feel free to visit my blog here: http://jessiscorner.blogspot.com to learn more about me and my crazy family and scrapbooking and thanks again for allwowing me into the Gutter family.

The story behind my layout for this time is Isabelle Kate....my 1.5 yr old daughter. It is seriously all about her. I hand painted the background and used some foil paper and the rest just sorta came to me. That song always takes me back to the movie "How to Lose A Guy in 10 Days" which I love and helped to inspire the layout!!

Journaling reads: Sometimes I'm selfish & self-centered. It IS all about me. But if I don't watch out for myself then who will?
