Time Flies!!

I can't believe that Halloween is just around the corner! I have been so busy this summer that I really don't know where the time went! Between working a lot and being apart of the Leadership program at work, I have not had a whole lot of creative time. And what I have been doing, most I can't share yet as it is for DT calls, and a scraplift challenge over at A Cherry On Top. We are playing "telephone" only with LOs. Since I was one of the first to go, I can't wait to see what the whole chain of scraplifts ends up looking like!

I did get to go to CKC San Marcos last weekend and had a blast with my Texas Girls! We took a bunch of classes and had so much fun! I even won door prizes in a couple of the classes, and in the Vendor Faire (which I did some damage at LOL!) I wish the trip could have been longer as I don't get to see them very often, but I am grateful for the time I did get. So many laughs!!!

As soon as I am able, I will post the LOs I've been doing for the calls. One has closed (the team should be announced tomorrow), one closes this weekend, and another next weekend! Whether I make it or not, I am proud of myself for even taking the chance to apply.

In non-scrapping related news...only 14 days til the NHL season starts! :)

Save the Date!!!

I can't believe it's time again for another {SAS}sy crop!!

Mark your calendars as Scrap Attack Scrapbooking shares a weekend of hope, friendship and of course {scrappin} to celebrate Breast Cancer Awareness month. Cancer is such a horrible disease and it affects so many people, I hope one day we will be able to find a cure. The {SAS}sy Team would love for you to join us October 16th and 17th for our annual Scrap Pink Crop! We’ll have fun games, challenges, prizes and a {Scrap Pink} Raffle Basket– ALL proceeds will be donated to the Susan G. Komen Foundation!

LO woes

Have you ever scrapped a LO and then turned around and thought "how hideous?" I just did that on Thursday and am now trying to figure out how to fix it. Since I matted the photos, I am going to take that piece off and start all over. And since I did this, it seems like my mojo ran and hid again *Sigh* Off to find it and hopefully rectify the LO...

Ah to scrap again!

It seems like the moments I want to scrap are the ones that I am at work. I think of 10 LOs that I want to work on, get the perfect ideas for challenges, and then *POOF* the moment I get home from work, I am way too tired to even think about scrapping. Working a lot of OT this past week did not help either. But, it's Saturday and I have managed 1 LO between sleeping in this morning and getting ready to go out to dinner with my friend Andrea tonight!

I have been having a lot of fun going through some of the pictures from childhood, and knew that I had to use this one when my monthly kit from Paper Posies arrived yersterday!

Not meant to be

Well it was not meant for me to be on a DT. At least right now. Never got a call today about the Lily Bee DT. So, I'll just keep on doing my own thing. Maybe take a look at applying at other spots later this year. See if I can find a DT who likes my scrapping style...

And back to my regularly scheduled life I go

An Ugly Love Part 2

I did this LO after our trip to Vegas last year about the Ugly Doll that I fell in love with

While scrapping over at my parent's house, I did Part 2.

My journaling is tucked away in the little envelope on the left of the page

Dog sitting and scrapping

Having this week off of work, I figured that my mojo would come home and I could crank out some pages. Then my mom wanted us to dog-sit Max and Mindy while they took a short trip to TX. No problem for me, I just brought masses of scrap stuff with me. Mojo wasn't cooperating a whole lot, but I did manage a couple LOs.


This one is for the March Sketch challenge over at scrapattackscrapbooking.com. I had this in mind for an acherryontop.com challenge from last month, but I ran out of time. No worries, it worked perfectly with the sketch challenge:




And then, I did this one of my grandparents. I was on a role using Lily Bee papers from doing my DT call LOs and thought that the Vintage Poppy line worked well with this photo





Speaking of DT call...






I applied for the Lily Bee design team this week! I made it a scrappy resolution of sorts to start putting myself out there more. I figured what better place to start than with the DT of one of my new favorite manufacturers! These are the LOs that I submitted to them in my application, both using the fabulous Audrey line:






I am hoping that I hear from them next Monday, and I can't deny that I will be just a little devestated if I don't. But, at least I can say that I tried. Keeping my fingers crossed that I get a call though, just in case ;)
