Some Christmas Goodies....

Time is running out but I did find time to make a few projects. I made a couple layouts and a couple of tags and a card for my Pine cone Press Book Club. I can cross that off my list finally. We also had a special project to do. We were to make a fairy jar. I could not get mine to photograph well but here she is... She is a winter fairy. Also here are some pictures of me and my hubby on our way out before his Christmas party.

I am so behind.....

Things have been so crazy lately I have not had a chance to even chat on the boards. I am so bummed I miss all the action. With all the hustle and bustle of Christmas time I have made myself scarce. I hope things settle down after the New Year. Speaking of the New Year I am going to be very cranky. Gregg and I are quiting smoking. (Yikes) but the way I look at it is more money to spend on scrapping stuff. Any who here is some of the current projects I have done and will post some more in a bit.

One more post...

and then I promise to stop for tonight. Here are some cards I did for Lucy's birthday bash. You can check out her site here..http://www.mysketchworld.blogspot.com/ I also finished the last of my Halloween pictures Yeah!!

New Layout...

Here is a new layout for http://gettinsketchy.blogspot.com/. It just dawned on my that I used some of the papers I won from the sketch challenge a month or so back. That was not planned. They always have such great kits to give away from here.

projects I have been working on. Isn't this just the cutest thing ever?

Here are some things.....

I have been doing......

Well what can I say....

the frustration level is high another contest or 2 have come and gone and I was not chosen again. Why do I continue to put my self through all the torture of the pain of doing these? I guess hoping that one day my work will get noticed. I look at the people who do get chosen and think why? I know my work needs much improvement and there are far more people out there better than me, but the ones who get chosen their work looks like a pile of shit to me. Oh well, I must like rejection and being hurt and upset because I keep coming back back for more. Here is a few pictures from the 2 contest I did win from http://www.scrap-diner.com/ and http://gettinsketchy.blogspot.com/

More new layouts....

I went to scrap with my friend Lori today and got nothing done. I had my wonderful son with and man he was a distraction. So I got to work at home and got some done. This layout I did for a sketch contest at http://www.creativeheartsstudio.com/ had fun doing this sketch.

Some New Layouts...

Gregg has been gone. He went to Talladega for the race and I decided to do some shopping for some new scrapping stuff to help me get motivated. I spent some time scrapping in between my lovely daughters drama. Here are some of my projects: It has been awhile since I have done a layout with the twins on it. Usually it is very difficult for me to do. I miss them very much. Can't wait for them to move back home.

The good news and the bad....

OK I will start with the good news first. I won several contest or challenges. The first one I one was at http://gettinsketchy.blogspot.com/ for my layout of my son. I won a kit package from http://www.mosh-posh.com/ I was very excited. I will post a picture when I receive that. I also won 2 contest at http://www.scrap-diner.com/ not sure what all I am receiving yet. I know some of it is My Minds Eye. Every month they have a manufacturer spotlight contest and for the month of September it was MME. I had posted the most layouts using MME products. This month it is Scenic Route. The other contest was an ad inspiration contest. Every Friday they have a Viva La Friday challenge and I won one of the Friday's challenges. Now with the bad news. I didn't get picked for any online publishing's from Scrap street and the Untamed Scrapper closed shop. Anyway here are a few of the layouts I did for these contest.

Another card done....

I got another card done for http://caardvarks.blogspot.com/. This time we where to use chipboard on the front of our card somewhere. I did a fall card since this is my favorite time of year.

I used creative Imaginations paper and leaf stickers for this. Inking was done with Color Box in Dark Brown and the chipboard piece is from CreekBank Creations. Ribbon is from an unknown source.
