Didn't make it... this time...

Well I didn't get onto the first ever design team I tryed for so I thought I'd share the layouts I submited... I won't pretend that I'm not a lttle bit miffed, it would have been fun. Huge CONGRATS to the girls who did make it though and I am NOT giving up!!! (I still have one more chance with the entry I sent in this morning for Scrapbook Essentials!!!).

I will find out about the other team I have tryed out for next week so fingers crossed for that now! :) Still trying not to get my hopes up... but it's hard. I'm just so passionate about this hobby... I mean, I have a blog about it for crying out loud! Hee hee!

PS: My altered project was an altered DVD case and I put the photos from my sisters 21st on the disk. I have done a few of these now and its a great way to give out the photos that you take at events to everyone who says "you can send me some OK!"... hee hee.

PPS: Also if you read my blog PLEASE leave a comment even if its just a "Hi I was here" just so I know if people are even coming here.... just for interest sakes! Ta!

Layout overload

OK so now that the design team calls are over and done with I can post some of those other layouts I was saying I'd done.... look out blog it's gonna get busy!

Finding inspiration

As scrappers we can find inspiration everywhere. I've been surfing the net and found some things that caught my eye and my imagination.












If you've found something that made you think "I could make that into a layout"... post a link to it in your comment... and share the inspiration!

Joys...

Of working in retail... the owner asks if you can use stuff before throwing it out... check out my new shelves (I got three) and the cool suitcases I got... now, what to fill them with?.... hmmmmm....




















I also hit the store and picked up some of the new Basic Grey (insert drooling face here). IT IS GOOORRRRGEOUSSSS!















Looking forward to spending the next couple of days puting them to use and getting some pages done... YAY For Long Weekends!

One down...

...one to go... Yes I have emailed on my first EVER entry to a Design Team call... big thanks to Michele for helping me to decide!
Back to the scrap floor...

I though I might post a photo of reality... yes I have a desk, yes I have shelves... but THIS is how I get my scrap on...

Trying to motivate myself...

Well to pick and sumbit anyway...

See...

I told you I've been scrapping. In fact I've done about 15 pages all up in the last month! As I said I'm still trying to figure out which to use for this DT entry but in the mean time here are some I've done from our trip this year...

Color Blog #1: One Colour

Well I was late for thw deadline but I want to be up to date ith the new Autumn Leaves Color Blog. The challenge was to use one colour and patterned papers for the layout. I've had this photo of Mike's dog Tarsha for over a year. She's pulling her "I see you have food, can I have some?" face.
