mgl Scraps blog challenge

Make sure that you are checking out the mgl Scraps ct blog....this is my December Challenge.

It is merely 11 days till Christmas. In the world of gotta buy it all for Christmas we often lose sight of the true meaning of the holiday season. A tradition is a practice, custom, or story that is passed down from generation to generation. I want to hear all about your favorite holiday traditions that remind you of the true meaning of Christmas.

Every year I read The Christmas Shoes by Donna VanLiere. The three books in the series are the saddest, and yet the most heart-warming stories I have read. They remind me that Christmas miracles can be large or small and come in the most unexpected ways. I have yet to see my miracle for this year, but I know that there will be one.

Please share with us your favorite Christmas tradition that reminds you of the spirit of the holidays. The challenge is to use at least one item from every kit you own by mgl Scraps. I am trusting all of you not to cheat, since Santa is still making his naughty and nice list.

Layouts are due on Sunday December 21. We will pick our favorite to received a goodie. Have a blessed holiday season.

This is my Christmas lesson.

It has been ages since I have had time to actually sit and do what I want to do. Let me catch all of the world up. I finally got fed up and left KU. I can't believe I actually did it....but I did. I got food posioning and it was not are you ok, but can you fax me the dr's note. I was soooo sick. I will never eat ceasar salad again and frosted flakes are not looking to good either. But I did it!!!!

I have taken a job at Overland Park Regional. Let seee: closer to home, calmer, and same pay. I love it. I spent 4 weeks training on days. Remind me that I hate mornings...I was up at 5:45 am. Thank God I pick up lab quickly so I can go back to evenings. I start them today!!!! Yeah! 2pm to 10:30 pm....good hours too.

Got more bragging






Ok I showed you all my purple paper flowers blinkie....but guess what? I got two more that same week. I am now up to five teams. I really didn't think that I would actually be accepted in either of these two teams, so I applied to ppf. But I am a SUNSHINE GIRL!!!!!! Yeah...!!!!


You have to check out the sunshine girls and all of their fab. kits and creations. Here are 3 layouts I just happened to whip out last week.

I am soo proud to wear their blinkie.

I also became a member of Veronica Spriggs Creative Team. I was suprised that she would want me since she is the owner of DSB. Which I had been ct manager for, but decided to resign. I love her kits and can't wait to get playing in the near future. I have to download her kits through pongo which I have set up on my laptop, so for now I am having to use my laptop. But it makes me focus on my layouts more when I use it.

Sad to see ADSR done


I am bummed that ADSR season 3 is finally over. The challenges really made me scrap outside of my box. Challenge 11 was relatively easy this time. It was to use wings in your layout. I have coveted the winged charms, frames, and things from Ashalee Walls forever and I have been dying to actually use them on something. I think this turned out just perfect.


Friday, March 28, 2008

Just out bragging.

Have you seen my new blinkie? Yep, I got a new one!!!!!!
I am offically a blue belle at Purple paper Flowers. Yeah me. Back in the swing of creative teams and their needs. They have just reopened and I am sooo excited that they are going to allow me to be on their creative team as a full time member. I haven't officially started yet...but I start April 1st.

Still ADSR crazed


Ok thank goodness my partner and I have made it two challenge 10. We only have 2 left before the grand prize. I can't wait to see us win!!!! Ok Challenge 9 came with some bumps in the road. The designer went missing and I nearly got a trojan virus from her blog. :(
So NDSIB decided to take over the challenge and do altered art. Altered art????

Here is what they say about altered art: Altered art is a broad term that encompasses many styles and genres of art. At its most basic, it gives a new artistic life to old and/or used mundane, utilitarian items through the application of techniques and combinations, some recognized as standard artistic methods, some not. "

Thank goodness for Tangie Baxter!!! She posted altered art freebies at NDSIB and then on her blog. I went to her store and grabbed two kits to play with too. I love the quote here: Reality is for those who lack imagination.....bought sums up my life lately!!!! But goodness do I love the Masters kit I picked up!!!!




Then a doosy came up!!! Plain Digistal Wrapper was hosting this week. It was my turn to make the layout for the week and I had to use 50 different elements by a minimum of 10 different designers. OK!!!! 50 elements is really quite cluttered on one page. I decided to take the idea from ah! Designs and several other and do a clustered border. It took me hours to do but I did end up with 53 different elements and used 27 different designers. I think I nearly did all of the designers in the digiworld...this week alone. My partner counted to make sure I had all of the elements and yep she can count them all too. I created a second version of this layout for my personal files that is less busy and I love it.

Can you see the difference removing some of the elements can make. I just love the complexity of my border and am just sooo excited about the fact that I actually made one.....I am definetly working outside of my box for this race.

Adsr is keeping me jumping.




Gee I have just been crazy busy with ADSR. Goodenss I haven't had time to do anything else lately. But Challenge 5 was perfectly timed. We had to interview an inanatimate object. DH had actually just had in accident in the charger on the Friday before the challenge posted. So I decided to discuss this accident with his poor dented bumper. Check it out a digitals here. But the car really just wants to be fixed as does my hubbys confidence!!!!

Adsr 6 ended up being a blessing since only one of the two people had to compete in this round. My partner, God love her, was willing and ready for the challenge.
Sweet Shoppe Designs was this weeks host. It was a scraplift of one of my layouts turned opposite. You had to alter the layout orientation and then alter the layout by creating an opposite layout in theme too. The prize was a totally adorable kit...I was sooo excited to pick it up.


ADSR challenge 7 made you really think...the girls at elemental scraps were really gonna play a number game. It was a two part challenge in which each partner had a different numbers game to follow. Mine include 7 alphas by only one desinger. I luckily love Flerg sooo much that I have every single kit minus 2 that she has created and she does an alpha for every kit. Soo it was really a no brainer whose kits I would use....Flerg!!!!
It has turned out to be acutally my favorite layout from this competition soo far! I was really challenged figure out what I had in my stash and use it all. I did have to buy one other kit, since I couldn't find any staples by Flerg in my stash. But the new kit definetly fits into my style...I didn't worry about spending the money on it.











The last challenge that I have done is challenge no. 8. Came from the host Natural deisgns.
It was to complete a travel layout using no travel items and
then only b and w photos. I loves these pictures that were taken from the St Louis arch. It was a non-planned road trip and we had a ball. And how could I not throw in a little Jovi for the journaling. I love that rubber band wrap!




Saturday, March 8, 2008


Challenge 4 continued on this theme of journaling.....are they trying to kill me? This time only 1/4 of the page had to be journaling. It was a spill your secrets layout. How could I not do my obsession with Bon Jovi. Even my blog has bon jovi music on it. Hey I am a fan what can I say....

I am not big on blending which was part of the challenge so I used color burn and overlaying opacicities to meet that criteria. I can't really do blending the right way but I love how my layout turned out. I had a great time hunting through all of the fab Bon jovi pixs on google images. I even found one of him unclothed..(got that in my photobucket account-i need a new avatar). But my partner, Barb and I are both signed off for week 2. Here we come to win it all, so ladies get out of my way!!!!!

Crazy ADSR week 2


Well challenge 3 was spotted late Sunday and geeze did it stir up a whole heap of controversy. I really am not in this race for the individual prizes so I didn't care when they said the prize was a CD of 12 kits for $5. I could get it or not and not care one way or the other. Honestly the kits were not my style so I was just ready for the challenge. A layout containing atleast 1/2 page of journaling. I am not big on journaling so that was a toughy but I figured out what I wanted to do. I had been meaning to do this layout for awhile and it just evoled. I love the papers and overlays I found in my stash. And it is truly a huge stash to hunt through.(more on that later) but I got it done and am all really for challenge no. 4

We are on our way with week one officially over and week 2 starting up. I have some scrapping mojo today and decided to tackle the bonus challenge from dragonflair studios today. You can snag it here.

Scrap something you do everyday...hmmmm!! I am about the most regimented person for what I do everyday but I just had to play with a new kit from Heather Manning and this layout just evolved. I love the colors and the dreamy quaility. Now I just need to work on my Challenge no. 3

Gonna start a bloggin

Ok! I really need to start using this more often. I am sooo excited we have started the amazing digital scrapbook race. 2 wild woman are on the move!!!! We are team 117, so you can check out are amazing layouts here. (we are on page 4). I can't wait for the challenges to get going.

Challenge 1- Favorite color, favorite element x 3 and what you love. Using a templet from the amazing gals at Digital Scrapbooking Classes. It is a great start to the race. Thank goodness for the fab templet...I was having scrappers block this weekend. Here was mine....
Challenge 2- came out on Tuesday and we have to do one layout. Hmmmmm!!! One layout for 2 people. We decided to do 6 x 12 and then I will stitich them together once done. Barb found the cutest kit that I just had to go buy once she showed it to me. We are doing a collision of 2 styles...since we both scrapbook differently. I can't wait to see how it turns out. The challenge is hosted by the Digi Chick and there is the cutest kit for the gift.
