I didn't stop blogging

I didn't stop blogging- I've just been so tremendously busy over the last 2 months, I don't even know which way's up. I have scrapped- in little pockets of time I've been able to scrounge up between homework, finishing that crazy PTA album, working 4 days a week, and being a wife and mother. ;) If I don't scrap though, I will lose it- this is my one patch of sanity. Yes, you're about to see a LOT of layouts, but keep in mind they've been done over a course of 2 months. I participated in the Amazing DigiScrap Race Season 3 this year- this was my first time doing it, and some of it was a REAL challenge for me. Both in finding time to do it, then to complete my requirements. I learned a LOT of new techniques, so I definitely consider it a success.

The other big news for me is that my DREAM CT spot had a guest CT call, and I applied, and got accepted as a guest, then after my month was up, was asked to be a permanent CT member for Melissa Bennett! I was so excited I couldn't sleep!

I guess to keep this easy for me I'll break it into my designers. They don't all have the same requirments, so some have more than others. As always, for journaling and credits, just go to my DST gallery on the sidebar, or click the thumbnail for an enlargement of the pic. :)

This one is my masterpiece. I spent about 6 hours on it, and I'm pleased to say that it actually turned out like it was supposed to in my head. That rarely happens! The challenge for this was to include wings somewhere on teh page- so I used the duck wings. This layout I actually had a DREAM about- down to the design, colors, everything. It bounced in my head for a week before I finally had chance to scrap it:
I posted this one before, but I'm sooo proud of it- my first altered art attempt!
I can't deny this child:



If you made it down here all the way, thanks! :) I know it was long!
