Happy Halloween

I can't believe that October is officially over and it is Halloween. Means I need a new blog header in the next day or two.....bummer....I will have to find a fall one.

I am also bummed that I have to work this Saturday on National Digiscrapbook day. The first of its kind. I am soooo excited for the sales. I have my wish lists packed full of goodies in anticipation. I am sooo excited about all of the happenings at scrapbook graphics. I will probably attend most of their day time chats. I love many of the designers there.

I am loving the new Jessica Sprague's class on pse. I have learned selective recoloring of elements and let me tell you wow it is amazing what it can do for a layout. I have also learned about the magic wand tool...great for recoloring many same color items in an overlay. I am learning more and more each day with the daily emails. Besides the freebies and coupons are not bad either.

saus is over

Stand up and Scrap contest is over. Well, I never made top 10 during the six weeks, but I had a great time pushing my creative limits. I really learned a few new ideas, and got to find some amazing new designers. I am sooo excited that I actually participated till the end....I really wanted to quit when I never made the top 10, but kept pushing myself to keep plugging along. Maybe when the release points I will have made top 40 at least once during the competition. But I really wanted to share my layouts for the competition here.

Week 5 through week 1

Lots to say and a little time to say it.

Ok I have only 30 minutes before my next chat of the day.....whewww I have 4 today.

Heather Manning opened her new store!!!!! HER OWN personal store. Make sure to check it out. There are great grab bags and the new dirt don't hurt pink kit. She did amazing getting it all up and ready for the opening. I don't think she had any problems at all. Tonight is the night of the big DST chat.....but DST is missing from the internet????? I hope they make it back up before the chat I would be bummed if she didn't get to have it. I have trivia and there will be lots of prizes and fun. Check it out at 10pm central time.

Kelli aka...Tallual moon also has a huge chat for Scrap A Deal tonight. You had to purchase half of a kit for only $2.00, and then come to the chat, create a layout and get the other half of the kit free. It is an adorable kit!!!! Plus I am sooo excited about the mini quick page album freebie I made for this kit. I was just inspired after about an hour of staring at my computer screen.

Ok my last reason for chatting....I have added a new guest blinkie today. It is just a 10 day guest spot to announce two new fab designers.....They are opening a new store on NOV 1 and wanted some layouts with their adorable kit.....2 Solitude. Here is my first layout with this kit.....I am in love with it definetely....This is only my first layout with more to come.

Check them out here.

Ok-I gotta run to chat number 2 for the day!!! Have a great one.

Hints for Heather

Ok- If you don't know that Heather has a secret....well she does and its HUGE!!!!!! coming soon to a home near you!!!!!

We have a few games coming up this weekend to win fab kits and prizes from Heather and the creative team.....shhhhhhh...want a hint...

Do you remember Mad Libs? Better brush up on your grammer. Nouns, verbs, adjectives, adverbs...etc..... we have gone mad....?

Only one more hint.....Heather is so cofused she got her words all mixed pu.........can you unscramble words.....but they all relate to Heather Manning and her amazing creative team and monkey mascot. Hmmmmm what a strange sentence from me....maybe another clue?

Favorite holiday

I love Halloween. The costumes, candy, scary movies on t.v., and of course pumpkin carving. I am a huge fan of pumpkin carving. Although I am horrible at carving faces. I loved my vampire pumpkin and my beer drinking one too. I don't know what I will do this year. But I have seen some cute witch pumpkins with carrot noses. I am leaning toward them.

These to layouts are from Miss Crow designs Vintage Halloween line. I totally love her vintage halloween collection. All of the yummy papers, elements, chipboard, and glitter blobs. What can I say but need more Halloween pictures. These two layouts are from last year's pumpkin carving. It was Suny's first halloween and she was into all of the pumpkin guts and curious about the scary face that sat on the kitchen bar. She only went near it once. I have more pictures but I need to go to the store and pick up more of the kit. Off to shop!!!!
