All of you like to follow blogs, right? Well, I have been lurking around (OK, just short of stalking, LOL) one particular blog for quite some time. Who in the world am I talking about, you ask? Well, it's Helen Croft's blog called Scrap A Little. It is always filled with fun tips, tutorials, sketches, giveaways, and just all-around pure scrappy inspiration. You NEED to check out this blog! So, anyway, when I heard she was starting her very own design team, I just had to apply!

Well, I am excited to announce that she chose me for her DT! Thanks so much, Helen!! You won't be sorry! =) Here are my layouts that I submitted to try and get my foot in the door! They are based on two of her very own fabulous sketches!

Here's the first sketch and my take on it:

And the second sketch & my take:

Thanks again for stopping by! Hope everyone has a wonderful week!

'Tis the Season

...to be jolly! Well, for my 2 pooches, they're not exactly thrilled. It's that time of the year when I pull out those dreaded antlers and ask them to smile for the camera. Well, not really. Anyway, here's my DT layout for "A True Friend" blog. Our challenge is to show our pets preparing for Christmas.

Aren't they funny? Notice how my chocolate lab is still clinging to his filthy, stuffed Halloween ghost. Sorry, buddy, that holiday is long past...Christmas time is near!

In other news, here are my layouts published in Scrapbook News and Review's November issue.

Thanks for taking a moment from shopping to come and visit my blog! 'Til next time!

Dedicated to My Doggies

Exciting news! My first DT layout for "A True Friend" Challenge Blog was featured today, along with the works of my awesome fellow DT members! This is a great challenge blog to help you scrap your favorite animal friends, so go check it out! The current challenge is to scrap how your animal friends deal with cold, winter nights. My two favorite fur friends choose their spots carefully on the bed! And...here they are!

Hope everyone has a super Thanksgiving holiday weekend. Don't forget to count your blessings...but definitely don't count your calories (hee hee)!!

Super Stoked!

I recently applied for 2 design team (DT) positions and this week, I found out that I was chosen for both! I cannot believe that my scrap journey has taken me this far and I'm humbled and SOOOO very excited! So, without further ado, I introduce the two sites where I will be designing!

Check out the DT announcement here! Just scroll down a little and you'll find it...My DT term will start January, 2010. I love what SFAC stands for- They offer exciting scrapbook kits and projects and donate 5% of the total sales to the causes we hold dear. I think that is absolutely fantastic!

And the second DT I was picked for is:

This cool challenge blog will allow me to scrap my two fur-kids, and hopefully inspire others to scrap their favorite animal friends too! Check out the DT announcement here!

I want to thank everyone (a special shout out to Z- you know who you are!!) for all of the words of encouragement! Hope everyone has a fantastic week!
