Amazing Month

Wow! What a month...

I just found out that I will be a Card DT member for My Sketch World! It is an awesome new forum that compliments the blog that has been around for nearly 2 years (Feb 19 is the two year anniversary and start of the weekend long crop!!!) Stop in and check out the fun this weekend!

Between this and my new responsibilities at Scrappy Chic I will be sure to keep busy with plenty of scrappy projects! Here are the first layouts I've created for Scrappy Chic!

Just finished a couple more pages using the song "Colors" by Kira Willey as inspiration... The black one was also done using the sketch from week #37 at Creative Scrappers. It's been a hectic weekend since this is the weekend I have school, but looking forward to starting a new week and getting some good scrapping in... Tuesday is the first meeting with the Design Team at Scrappy Chic! Looking forward to meeting everyone and learning some more details on what we will be working on!

Doing the Happy Dance

Got the phone call I've been waiting for last night... I was picked to be on the design team at Scrappy Chic - my favorite LSS for scrapping and shopping! I still don't know a lot of the details (the DT coordinator will be setting up a meeting soon) but I do know that there are four of us on the team and I have been asked to create monthly pages and projects for display at the store! I cannot wait to get started! I will post pics of my submission once I stop in the store and get pics of everything! Oh yeah... One of the layouts I submitted was the "I am Yellow Today" layout from a recent post if you want to take a peek!

Scrapping the Month Away

Wow! It's been a busy month for scrapping... The month started off with a bang when I squeezed in an all day crop with two of my good friends at my favorite LSS! Then came an online crop at one of my favorite scrappy sites, Scrapbook Doodle... I made a TON of cards and even finished off a few layouts.

Now as the month draws to an end, I'm headed back to my LSS for the day, AND I've found another amazing scrappy site that is having their on-line crop this weekend. Come on over and join me and the fantastic girls of Your Memories By Design for a fun-filled weekend of inspiration and challenges! I absolutely LOVE their unique offerings in their shop and the incredibly friendly atmosphere of the site - I'm sure you will too!

What a better way to spend Superbowl Weekend??? Oh, yeah... Wish me luck as I will be submitting for my first attempt at a LSS Design Team later today!

Latest and greatest...

I've been busy scrapping away these last few weeks thanks to a few challenges and an online crop I've been following. I made a ton of cards as well as a few layouts. One of my favorites is this one that I did for the Scrappin the Music Blog using the song Colors by Kira Willey. I absolutely loved the lyrics and just happened to have a series of photos of my daughter making a variety of faces... Here's the first of what I hope to be a series of several layouts inspired by the great song!

Photo A Day Challenge: Jan 4-8

Just some random shots that I took as part of a photo-a-day challenge... I missed on the 7th, and only took photos of projects on the 4th and 8th, but I'm working at getting better...

Happy New Year!!!

Well, I've finally gotten some new goodies finished up to share! It was so great to get to crop with my good friends this past Friday. I didn't complete any 12x12 pages, but I finished two mini-albums and started a third. Here are the two that I finished!

This first one is a mini-album that I plan to give to an aunt of mine who will be getting married at the end of this month. It is approximately 12 inches wide and 6 inches tall. I used alcohol inks on the acrylic cover (Currant and Copper) and used DCWV Papers throughout. The flowers are a variety from Prima and Bazzill and probably some miscellaneous others.

Hope you enjoy looking through it!

This is the second one... I was so excited about how the first one (above) turned out that I just had to do another mini-album while at the crop. I really don't have any definite plans for this one - I just fell in love with the papers and the super cute album shape! The album is a Cosmo Cricket Blackboard album and the papers are Dream Street (Mairzy Doats Line). I added a couple of transparency pages in between the album pages thanks to the suggestion of my scrappy friends who were at the crop with me! Thanks Gals! I'm considering submitting this to the design team call for the LSS that I was scrapping at that night... We'll see if I can complete the other requirements in time.
