Oops! I guess I was busy scrapping away and didn’t realize it had been so long since I had posted! How about a few card to tie you over until the 15th reveals?! Actually, I thought I had shared a couple of these already! *blushing*

Don't forget to stock up on adhesive, and get those photos printed! Our LP crop will sneak up on you before you know it!

Everything is from my stash. The stamp is from Stampin'Up.




Another Stampin'Up stamp on this one, Jute from my stash, and papers from TS kit #1.

A huge thank you to everyone cheering me on, and to Von, my new Captain!!

What a great honor it is to announce that I have been selected to design for http://www.lifepreserversclub.com/!!! I am speechless, and floating on cloud 9! Someone’s going to have to toss me a life preserver to keep me grounded for a few days!


I’ll be back tomorrow with some eye candy for you!

Bummer news….I’ve been eliminated from the Big Scrapper House Contest. I’m standing in the background cheering on the last two ladies standing. They have a super tough challenge this week, but they both met that challenge head on and are doing an awesome job! Go Barbara and Kelly!! I can’t wait to see what else the producers have in store of us, and how the winners will be chosen! So many fun twists in this game!!

Mark your calanders!! October 23-25. After we take a bit of a rest from the grand Finale, we are going to have a big crop! I can’t wait!! I always have the best time at the LP crops!! The Design Team always has awesome challenges, games, and make n’ takes!!!




Only two more days until the new challenge is posted at ScrapFit! Who wants a sneak peak?!

Whew! I made it through one more round in the BSH contest at life preservers! I am sooo sad to see so many eliminated this week. I don't know...I am really struggling with the journaling for this week! Yikes!

Here are some of my creations from last week for the contest! I had done so many layout over the past weeks that I decided it was time for a switch! I altered a couple dollar frames I picked up at Michaels‘, and one I had picked up on clearance for 5 bucks! Don’t you love the scrolly stuff on that one!

The flower here looks black or blue in the photo, but it was actually made with two tone purple paper! I then sprayed it with frost glimmer mist. Very pretty, IRL! The green paper is out of the September card kit from Life Preservers Scrapbook Club.




Can you believe that I only paid $1 a piece for these frames! That's the way I like to shop!!



Everything on this is out of the August card kit from Life Preservers Scrapbook Club except the trim, brads, and ink.





Whose up for a blog hop!! ScrapFit is taking part in a blog hop on Friday! Each challenge blog will be doing a fun mini challenge and giving away prizes!! Come back Friday for the event posting!

So, are you waiting to hear the contest results??


ME!


I WON!!!


Can you believe it?! I can't!!!


I am still in a bit of shock!


Never in a million years did I think I could make it to the end. Leslie’s challenges were so inspirational. This contest took me on such an unexpected journey. Not only did it make me stretch my comfort zone, I was pushed to think outside the box. Along the way I have learned a lot about myself as a scrapper and as a person. The journaling prompts made me dig deeper within myself that I usually dare to go. Journaling…. Well, that is something I’ve never felt comfortable with, but this contest brought out an ability in me that I didn’t know I had. Over the weeks I have received so many wonderfully touching comments and pm’s that have literally brought me to tears. There truly are no words to express my gratitude and how touched I’ve been by this experience.

Huge congrats to Lisa and Rita!! You work is so fabulous and so inspirational!! Everyone who participated in this contest should be proud. Each week the creations were just fantastic.


Huge Huge Huge thank you to Leslie, the DT, and everyone at Treasured Scrapbooking!!

Big Congrats to my friend SnapWhiz who won the Second Chance contest!! WTG!!
