ScrapMatters Leap Day Sale and Queen of Scrap

A couple of exciting things going on in the ScrapMatters world I wanted to share with you..

Number One:

Number Two:

and I'm hosting a Speed Scrap on Friday night to kick off a weekend of fun SSs!!!

I Am Still In SHOCK :)

I was first introduced to Digital Scrapbooking by my cousin's wife, Mary.  She made up some really cute signs for her son's birthday party and hung them up around the house.  We got to talking and she told me about Ikea Goddess (who is no longer posting) and how she links you up to free scrapbooking supplies for digital use.  Once I got home, I immediately looked her up.  I quickly made some new online friends, one being Sarah of Cabana Girl Designs, who introduced me to the Speed Scrap concept and ScrapMatters forum/gallery!  I was in such awe of all the amazing designers and scrapbookers over there & played along with the challenges, etc.  WELL, guess who was accepted to the SM CT!?!  ME!!!!  I am so over the moon, I can't stand it!!  In my opinion, it is the greatest site and to be accepted was such an honor!!   If you haven't been there ever, or maybe in a while, stop by because it is a really fun site with so many helpful folks!  The challenges are great, with a new one most days of the month!

In fact, they've revamped how they do their challenges, calling the BINGO challenges.  How it works is this...you download a card to play with (you can use this each month!).  Each day a SM CT or designer introduces a new challenge (they are all posted in one thread at the beginning of the month, though) and shows off some sample LOs.  This is done for the first 24 days of the month.  You do whichever LOs you want, all of them is awesome!!  When you complete the challenge, you add a thumbnail of it to your card after you upload the LO to the SM gallery.  After the month closes, you can attend a BINGO chat to earn great prizes and have lots of fun learning about a SM designer.  You still have a few days to play along for February if you'd like to...here is the ad for the upcoming BINGO Chat for this Thursday...it is linked to the SM forum for the February challenges.  Hope to see you there!!

Thanks and I hope you will join in the challenge and come back every other Monday for new releases and a new challenge!

New Jobs

Well, not the paying kind anyway LOL!  I won one of 3 guest spots on the Digi Scrap Drive In's store Creative Team during a challenge last month.  I am so excited!!  I also was chosen as a Pep Squad Member to host challenges and such.  For February, I am hosting the Can You Dig It Challenge, which is where I choose an advertisement for everyone to use for inspiration.  I chose this one, which has many aspects to use for inspiration

The other challenge I am hosting is the Cool Tunes Challenge.  For this one, I chose a song and the lyrics must be used in some part on your layout.  Since it is February, I chose a love song - Just the Way You Are by Billy Joel.  I know not everyone has a significant other to scrap a layout of, so I chose this song because many of the lyrics can be used for any type of love for anyone.

Soooooo....stop on by the Drive In and introduce yourself if you haven't already.  Then check out the great challenges they're offering this month.  You get points for each one you complete, which you can trade in for a store gift certificate when you reach 500 points.  Isn't that great?!!?  Hope to see you around!!

So In Love

It's finally February, the month of "love", so the Wyld Peas came up with this adorable So in Love kit. The colors are gorgeous together and so versatile. You can pick it up on the Wyld Peas Blog or at their store at Digi Scraps Drive In. You can even get an add on by participating in "The Works" Challenge at DSDI forums

Boy, Have I been Scrappin!!!

I participated in a Speed Scrap Marathon over at Mouse Scrappers last weekend and completed SIXTEEN layouts in three days.  What a whirlwind of fun and such a great feeling to get so many pages completed.  Here are the ones I did, which are linked to the MS gallery for credits.  I used mostly Wyld Peas Designs, Britt-ish Designs and Kellybell Designs.  Some I love, others I will probably tweak a little before I print them...that's the beauty of a Speed Scrap!
