**WEEK 2** CHALLENGE

This second challenge is you have to create a seasonal themed layout, BUT, you cannot use actual themed products. Instead use colors and any other embellishments (non-themed) to create a seasonal layout. (So for example, If I am creating a Christmas layout, for this challenge I can use like red and green colors and stuff, but I cannot use anything that is Christmas themed. Like I cannot use christmas themed paper, or christmas embellishments).

**WEEK 1** CHALLENGE

This first challenge is you have to use a circle punch (or draw and trace circles-any method will be acceptable as long as it is circles), and create a FUN background with them. In addition to circles as your background, we want you to use ONLY stickers for your title.

-------------------------------------------

This is what I came up with for the challenge. I had a lot of fun creating this LO. This LO has gotten me to round 2 of the CONTEST. I'm so excited.

Round #3

We had to scrap trends that were HOT or we like. The trends I thought were hot was bubble wrap stamping technique, bling, 3-D dimensions and cut work. I sad to say this LO didn't get me the Design Team over at The Mosy Scrapper. But I did get a Guest Design Team Spot and I'm thrilled cause it will be very first GDT ever. My spot will be for the month of February 2009. Woohooo thanks Christa and April for the wonderful opportunity.

Round #2 (Thank You)

Here's my creations for round #2 over at The Mosy Scrapper. Each round someone gets eliminated. Right now we are on Round #3 and I've made it to Round #3. Can't wait to see who gets chosen for the DT and GDT.



On round #2 we had to use chipboard and felt plus use them on a card.


CLOSE UP OF MY CARD:

Journaling says:

The kids both started
the summer out by
signing up for coach
pitch and softball
this year. My daughter
had to quit ball after two
games because she fell
off her horse and
broke her arm. So for
the month of June my
son played ball and they
both went to summer
school. They got to do
several activities through
the summer project. My
daughter got to go
fishing with her 6th
grade class.
I've been keeping busy
with keeping the garden,
canning and babysitting.
Two of the hottest jobs is
the keeping garden and
canning what I get out
of the garden.
When I'm not busy with
that I take the kids
to the city pool once a week
for about 3 1/2 hours.
I'm teaching my youngest
to swim. He's coming along
pretty good.
