I have a couple of new layouts to share, yay!

First up is Puppy Love!

Puppy Love at DST

Cute, no? He sits on my desk by the computer so he’s kind of my computer buddy, hehe. The kit I used is Zoe Pearn and Christy Lyle’s Orange You Glad kit. I just love the colors of it.

Next is my layout for this week’s Digi Dare. The challenge is to scrap everyday beauty. You have to use 5 photos, all in black and white, and you have to use squares. The journaling is supposed to explain why these photos are beautiful to you. This is what I came up with:

Everyday Beauty at DST

So I chose food at my photos, LOL I had actually been taking these photos before the prompt came out just because I was so proud I’d actually made this stuff. I’m not sure how I feel about them in black and white, I think the tacos end up looking like mush on a plate, lol. But the cookies look pretty good I think!

Ok now, time for some pimping! There’s a couple of cool deals going on right now that I thought I’d share.

First Rachel has a promo going called The Big Deal…

You get all 3 of her new products this week for $4! I’d say that’s a pretty good deal! And if you’d like to see what you’re getting before you purchase she has everything posted here on her blog. It’s available for 24 hours only so you’d better get moving if you’re interested!

And Meredith has her Random Bag of Scrap on sale now…

There’s lots of fun stuff in there, especially for $2! Available only till Friday, the 28th!

Ok well that’s all I’ve got for now! Until next time…

I uploaded a new layout today:

I Miss You at DST

The layout is based on the “get naked” Hodge Podge challenge. I think it came out pretty cute. The papers are from Meredith’s Happily Ever After papers - aren’t they pretty? The words around the photo are lyrics from an Avril Lavigne song.

Sooo, anyone else excited about the Stand up and Scrap contest starting tomorrow? I think it’s going to be interesting to see how the whole anonymous posting thing works out. Hopefully it’ll be a lot of fun!

Ok, well that’s all I’ve got for now! Until next time…

Hey there everyone! I’m back with a new post, yay! First up, I’d just like to let you know that my gallery is now up to date. It includes all of the latest Digi Dares as well as my Digital’s Next Top Scrapper layouts. Enjoy!

Next up, my SPArty layout was chosen as layout of the week over on the Sweet Shoppe blog. What a nice surprise! I actually really struggled with that layout, for some reason I just couldn’t get it to come together like I wanted. Maybe it was all the pastel pink? hehe It’s nice to see that someone liked how it turned out! hehe

Ok, on to the title of this post! I’m hosting this week’s Digi Dare and I’d love for you all to come play along with me! My youngest sister, Alyssa, turned 20 yesterday so this dare is in honor of her. The challenge is scrap a lesson you’ve learned that you wished you knew when you were twenty. This is what I came up with:

Digi Dare #53 - Lesson Learned

I am seriously in love with how this turned out!! I just love how everything flows together. This was actually something I’d been wanting to do a layout about for awhile but I had just never really had a reason. This seemed like the perfect opportunity. If you want to read the journaling you can click on the link to DST, it’s all posted in the credits there. I actually had to rewrite all of the journaling after Photoshop decided to not release the computer memory and wouldn’t let me save, so lame! Anyway, I really hope you will all come play along - there’s $40 in gift cards up for grabs!! It’s going to be fun, I promise!

Ok, well that’s all I’ve got for now! Until next time…

That was my reaction last night when I saw this…

OMG! I actually won something! Woohoo! I’m still not sure I believe it, in fact I was half expecting this morning to check the page and see that I had just dreamt the whole thing. LOL Glad to see I didn’t! Honestly, I’ve had such a rotten week with Adam deploying to Iraq and everything - this has totally made my day. Thanks so much to everyone who voted for me!

And in case you’re wondering here are the runners-up in each level:

Congrats ladies!
