Just a quick....

layout I did tonight.

A little Halloween....

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.
