Too Sweet layout...

Yay! Here's my final layout for the Gotta Pixel creative team contest. This one needed to use Laura Burger's Sweet Couture kit. So pretty! And here is Too Sweet...



I definitely kept it pretty simple - the focus was on Hailey-boo!

NEW Creative Team!!!

Woohoo!!! I have been accepted to be on Royanna Fritschmann's new creative team, the Posh Princesses. I've always loved Royanna's creations on Divine Digital. And I think this will be a better fit for me than the last creative team I was on. Wish me luck!!!

Trying for another creative team...

I got an e-mail today asking for people to apply for Layout Artists on the Posh Princesses Creative Team with Royanna Fritschmann. I love Royanna's stuff! I always love her Daily Download contributions. Even her previews are beautiful!!

So I e-mailed Royanna a short bio and links to 3 galleries I frequent. We'll see!!!

Oh, and the last layout for the Gotta PIxel creative team contest is something I will be working on this week.

Left the team...

I'm sorry to say I made the decision to leave the Paradise 4 Scrappers Creative Team. It was a tough decision for me. I sure wish them well!

Lost is found!!

Yes!!!! Lost finally comes back tonight! I just hate the long time they make you wait for anything anymore! But the new season is finally here.



It will be interesting to see what happens tonight. We've heard so many things. People going back to the island. But they ALL have to go, and some don't want to. Gotta wait and see!

Oh, and last night Fringe came back too. That is one different show. A little X-Files, a little crime drama. But I'm enjoying it.



The characters are done very well. There's so much we still don't understand, but that's the way TV is! You should check it out. It's on Fox.

Hailey's the star!

Wow! Another layout for the Gotta Pixel team contest. This challenge required us to make a layout with lots of white space. Boy, that's tough for me. I always feel the need to fill up the space! So this was definitely a challenge! And here it is...



I'm sure surprised I've been getting a lot of scrapping done! Kinda nice.

How's this for a "logo"

I worked on a little look for a logo. Pretty basic, but I like the elegance of the look...



Of course it has to be in blue (you know, my favorite color!). What do you think?

My first layout as part of the P4S creative team!

Here it is...



Doesn't it have a nice old-fashioned look? I used Antique Lace by Swheat Creations at Paradise 4 Scrappers. What a great kit for heritage layouts. Great colors & embellishments.

I like the way it all looks. Pretty pleased!

Dotty Love minikit...

I finished a minikit that would be nice for Valentine's Day. And hey, it's called Dotty Love. Wanna see it?



Since I'm not on the design team for Paradise 4 Scrappers I thought I'd give it away as a freebie. Just not sure how to do it. Hmmmmm.

UPDATE! I've been chatting with Michelle at P4S. My little kit is going to be added as a freebie minikit under my designer name (yeah, designer name!!!) Sheila's Scraps. This is pretty cool! Ya never know - down the road I might even be selling stuff!

The Hands Have It...

I finished a layout for a contest on Gotta Pixel. It needed to be about me, use only a particular kit (Cozy Kind of Love), and include these four sentence beginnings in your journaling:

I love to scrapbook because...
The quirkiest thing about me is...
My friends say that I am...
When I grow up, I want to...

AND any photos you used couldn't show your head. Now this was tough!

So I ended up taking pictures of my hand (of course only ONE hand because I had to take the picture with the other one!). I showed different things my hand did. And I'm wanting to put my best foot forward because at the end of this contest (you're supposed to get four challenges to show your "worth" but I missed the first one) someone would be picked to be on their creative team.

Okay, here's what I came up with...



What do you think? I liked the variety of hand photos.

All right Tony!

Anyone not following 24 will not GET this......

Tony is NOT a bad guy!!! Woohoo!! I was so glad to find that out. Tony was always one of my favorite characters on 24. The four-hour premier was VERY good. So nice to get back into the swing of Jack Bauer!

Jack is Back!!!

Okay, did you watch 24 last night? It's amazing how you can get back into the swing of Jack so quickly! Even thought I didn't get to watch it at its original time (church business meeting!), I did record it and watch it later. So I didn't get finished until around 12:30am. But it was SO worth it! AND the second part is tonight! Woohoo!!!

January Blah layout...

I worked on this layout today. I got a little freebie in a newsletter today and wanted to use it. But I didn't have a photo that seemed to work. So I opened the back door and got the snow on the back deck. Hey it works! Thanks to Kathryn Estry and her Fresh Start Extras. I also used Atomic Cupcake's Sparkle Effect. Don't you think it has a blah look? ;-)



I really liked the blues in the kit. I don't know if a sunny snow day would have been as blah!!

Blinkie?

I worked a LONG time on this little blinkie. Really hoping it works. It probably needs some tweaking, but I think my first attempt at creating one from scratch is not too bad!

Home sick...

I woke up this morning and just could NOT get out of bed. I called Melissa's number at the office to tell her I wouldn't be in. So I went back to sleep, waking up a few times. I got a call from Joy at work at 11 something wondering if I was okay. Oh oh, I thought. Didn't Melissa come to work either? So I asked Joy that. Nope, Melissa was home sick too. Haaa!!! Nobody missed me until then? So it was a crappy day at home. I did get plenty of rest though.

I worked on getting my blog more personalized. I created two backgrounds for a snow theme. The blue background just uses a snowflake brush, but it's really nice (cuz I just love the blue!!). The middle part is just a white background using Atomic Cupcake's crumpled effect. Kinds looks like snow though! Then came the header. That took a little more time. But I like it. Trying to get it all into the template took forever!!! Once I figured out what worked best it finally got finished. Looks nice. The Photobucket slideshow of my layouts at the bottom seemed the only place I could put it. I couldn't figure out how to put it on the sides and fit. It would only fit well at the bottom. So there it is! And here's my new blog look!!! Woohoo!!

On a Creative Team!!!

Woohoo!! I've just been accepted as a member of the creative team for Paradise 4 Scrappers!!! I'm very excited about this opportunity to expand my creativity! Watch for news on what I'm able to create for them!!




Now I'll have to figure out how to really use this blog! Is that blinkie cute or what? Got it figured out!

Bad, bad blogger!!

I can't believe how bad I am at this!! Of course I'm only doing this for myself since nobody reads it but me!! LOL!

I wanted to share some pages I made for the Digital Craft Cottage 1-09 Quickpage Exchange. It used a great little kit by Roxi, Take Heart. I was a little hesitant to show my pages on their site. All the pages I was seeing were great! My creativity is so.....me! But I still like to make them and share them! Here are previews of the four pages that I made. Three of them are 12 x 12 and one is 8.5 x 11. A little variety!
