Yeah!  It's the first day of fall...my favorite time of the year.  :)

And, since I didn't share last week's sketch with you because of the Ultimate Summer Challenge, I thought I would post it today too.  :)

THANK YOU!!!

Thanks to everyone who voted for me.  And, I have been so bad lately at checking out other's blogs...I didn't even realize that some of you had posted on your own blog for people to vote for me!  That was so sweet...thank you!  I didn't win...but I have an album I am happy with and I will expand it too, so when I do new pages I will share them with you.  I've been kinda down this week...I was so excited for the final challenge and then I was just discouraged.  But I am happy with who did win, it was a very creative album.  

Now I got to get back to scrapping so I have some new stuff to post!  :)

A Card

This is a card I did for Deanne Burton over at Scrap Addict.  See what other's did with her sketch by going here.  What I need to start doing is working on my Christmas cards.  :)  

Life goes on

So, it is clear that I am not going to be winning the Ultimate Summer Challenge.  They are having voting issues...or at least I am.  Two days I wasn't able to vote for myself, it would tell me that I already voted.  I have also received messages from people telling me that it is still not working for them.  I'm sorry, don't know what else to do.  But thank you so much for voting (or trying)...you guys are awesome!  :)

So I haven't been posting because I wanted the Ultimate Summer Challenge stuff to be what people saw when they came to the blog.  (If you don't know what I am talking about, then scroll down).  But I figure it is about time for me to get some new stuff up.  

So here is what I did with the September kit from Coconut ScrapShop.  

Under this one, I tucked an email that I had printed off under the photo:

Since I was fresh off making a couple mini albums, I just didn't have it in me to make another.  So the cute mini album that came in the kit, got taken apart by me.  I put one page on the LO above, and then I put two together with a brad to make a card:

And here is something you won't want to miss...

Join The Coconut ScrapShop October 1 - 6 for a week of challenges, contests, and fun! Daily "Fall Kits" will be awarded and an overall winner will be chosen to receive a Guest Designer Spot on our Design Team with November's Kit! Fall on over into our message board to get all the details!

Ultimate Summer Challenge: FINAL CHALLENGE!

Yeah!  The time has finally come for the Final Challenge for BHG Scrapbooks, Etc's "Ultimate Summer Challenge."  My album is up, and the voting has started!  :)  The assignment was to make an 8 page mini album about myself.    I approached this challenge by not thinking of what others would want to see, but by doing what I wanted and making it personal to me...after all, it is a book of me. :) So I am pleased with the way it turned out. It is an 8 x 8 acrylic album with two smaller pages thrown in to mix it up a bit. I like doing this (adding smaller pages in a book) because it makes it easily expandable...I don't have to have more of the acrylic pages to keep adding to the book.

There are lots of pictures to come.  :)  Click on any of them to make them even bigger.  First I will show you the pages by themselves, and then you will see them in the book.   

This one has a spelling error in it.  I did fix it, I just didn't take a new picture.  :)

So there are the 8 pages.  Here's what it looks like all together:

I hope you like it as much as I do.  I am a little worried about this.  Usually I think a lot about what I am going to do and then spend a lot of time on it, making sure it is perfect.  This book came together SO fast for me.  I just threw elements on a page and moved to the next one.  :)  That worries me a little.  

So, if you like the album, PLEASE GO VOTE FOR ME!  I need the votes, the prize is $2500!  You can find the voting here.   And pass the word along!  :)  At least, let's get people on there voting for what they like best.  VOTING CAN BE DONE DAILY UNTIL SEPTEMBER 20TH.  So come back and vote again tomorrow.  

And thanks to everyone who previously voted for me and who is voting for me now.  You rock!  :)

Pink Paislee Papers

How awesome are the new Pink Paislee papers...you just can't go wrong with them.  ScrapLovers included lots of fun stuff in our DT kit this month....among the stuff was the "Vintage Moon" collection from Pink Paislee and these fun black labels from Luxe Designs.

  

I also got that cool Vintage sequin ribbon, it is from Maya Road.  So this is my second ScrapLovers reveal.

And coming tomorrow....my Final Challenge project!  :)
