This page was for the ScrapMatters newsletter that celebrated its first anniversary this month, so I made a page about our 10th anniversary, using the pictures I used in my 10 Years mini album. :)

I'm Here

I know I haven't blogged in like forever, but I've been pretty busy with life lately!
My mom isn't doing too well with her broken foot, but hopefully she's on the mend. I made her a card last week, and I'll try to make her another soon!

Wanna Lift Me?

I was chosen for this week's Grand Theft LO challenge at ScrapMatters! :D Come play along! ;)

I lifted myself and chose this page:

This kit by Tater is gorgeous, and perfect for all my food pictures! :D




I still have a couple of projects I haven't posted yet, so even though my scrapping time for this week is over (yes, busy, busy week!) I'll still be posting something in the next few days. :)

Fall Madness

I signed up for the Fall Madness contest they're having at DigiScrapAddicts, lured by the money prize :D and I have two pages to show. This contest is pretty tough because each scrapper is paired with another scrapper, and only one makes it to the next round. The voting is done by 13 designers.
Unfortunately, in both rounds I've been paired with fellow CT members: in the first round, LoriBear, on ScrapMatters' CT; in the second round, with Brenda (kaleandkiara) of Amy Sumrall's CT. Even more unfortunately, Lori wasn't able to post her LO in time, so I passed to the second round with no competition. Sad, sad! :(

Anyway, here's my page for Round One. We had to scrap a page containing the words "I love".

This page is totally me: funny, and speaking volumes about my life and my love for DH. :)

For the second round, we had to scraplift our opponent; so even though I consider being paired to a friend a misfortune, I was lucky enough to get to lift her amazing work. Brenda's gallery is amazing, and she is a master of white space - something I often struggle with because my pages always seem empty - and clustering. I chose to lift All Grown Up by kaleandkiara and here's my page:

This is one of the rare occasions that I couldn't force myself to put more elements on the page. :) I love this page! And Chelle's kit - it's soooooo gorgeous!!
I doubt that I can make it to the next round because Brenda is a fabulous scrapper, but I'll be keeping my fingers crossed, you never know. :) The results will likely be made public on Sunday, so this is going to be one long week.;)

My Sweet Bears

Sorry for not blogging, but this has undeniably been a bleak week and I didn't feel much like blogging (and I still don't, but I have too many pages to show so I'd better start posting them! ;) )..

I had the privilege of playing with a gorgeous collab by the Polka Dot Plum designers, Survivor:



And I made two pages of our sweet, sweet bears - the colors were just perfect!

For this page I also used the gorgeous new templates by Amber of Stolen Moments, at ScrapMatters. I had lots of fun picking all those pretty papers! ;)



And here's the other bear - I just love the colors of this page!

I have more pages to show, so hopefully I'll be in the mood for blogging this weekend.. We'll see!
