I'm back!

Hey there! Miss me? Just kidding.

We're finally back from our very LONG car trip to California and back. We had so much fun. I can't wait to scrap some of the pictures - I took over 400!!!!! Holy moly!

Well, here's the real reason I'm posting tonight:


Woohoo! I'm really excited and can't wait to hear from you! Check out the forum here for more information if you can't read it above.

Fun new challenge

Hey there everyone! There are a couple of challenges I wanted to post about before we head out of town. First, there's another Speed Scrap at ScrapMatters tonight. Here is the info.

Second, GG Digital Designs is having a really cool new challenge.
I know it says "See rules and guidelines below" but you'll actually have to go to the GG Blog to get those! Here is the link. Looks like lots of fun and a GREAT prize!!!!

We're off to Disneyland in a couple of hours so I guess I should get busy and pack some bags, eh? See you in a couple of weeks!!

Speed Scrappin'

Yes, I'm alive. I know you're shocked! Doing the Daily Download at ScrapMatters has been keeping me very busy, plus I'm stressing out about going on vacation this week and everything that goes along with it.

On to more pleasant things. . . I'm so addicted to the speed scraps at SM! They are so fun and I always end up loving my LO. Maybe it's because I don't have to think of everything myself. I guess I do better work when someone's telling me what to do? I dunno. Anyway, here are my last two:

In other news, I'm closing up shop at Snap and Scrap. I've really enjoyed my time there, but I really need to have a little less stress in my life right now. I LOVE being on the SM CT and DT and also on GGDigital Designs CT so the only thing left to go was Snap and Scrap. I'm sure they'll live without me! : ) I did learn a lot from them and met some really great people. It was great!

Well, we're off to Disneyland this week. That is if the kids make it there alive! We're driving! I don't think it will be too bad though. We're breaking it up over 2 1/2 days with a stop at the Grand Canyon so hopefully we'll all make it there alive. I'll be taking my laptop with me and should be able to get internet access the whole time, but I'll probably only be online to do the Daily Download and check emails until we get back after the 29th. Wish us luck!!

Next SM Speed Scrap

Hey! I just wanted to let you know when the next speed scrap at SM is going to be. Here are the details:

Thursday, July 10, 9 pm Central

Hope to see you there. I'm not sure whether the participation prize has been posted yet, but I've seen it and it's SUPER cute!!!

News and New's!!

I've got some exciting news! Andrea of Andilynn Designs and I have teamed up this month for the ScrapMatters Daily Download. Our new kit is called {Summer Breeze} and you get grab pieces of it for FREE everyday from the ScrapMatters forum here. Here's the preview of the first DD available today. I'll be posting a new download each day, Monday - Saturday, and the link will only be active for 24 hours so you'd better hurry!


Plus, since it's the beginning of the month GG Digital Designs has some new releases in her shop plus a new freebie (which is my favorite!!!)

and the coordinating "Boy" set!


and here's the freebie this month! (How cute is this?!?!)

Plus she has some keyplate albums for each of the {Summer Lovin'} kits that are free with the purchase of the kit right now. She also has some super adorable polka dot wraps and a new template pack available too. So much great stuff over there!
