Exciting news!!!!

I am so excited!!! I am now a proud member of the
Practical Scrappers design team!!! I wasn't even going to try out of the DT because the very first challenge week I had a prior commitment but I figured what the heck. Much to my surprise I got the position but then worry set in. I was volunteering that week and I didn't want my first project to be a poor example of my work. The week this layout was due I volunteered over 80 hours but somehow I fit this in between cooking, volunteering and oh yes sleep!! But I just told myself I will do a better job next time!

I am just so excited because I LOVE Practical Scrappers. I played along with their challenges whenever I could because they made me use my stash/hoard. It makes me happy when I do that :)..giggles! This week the challenge is to use stickers. I don't know about you all but I have tons but somehow I never get to use them!! For this project I used these huge monogram letters I had by Making Memories. But the stinky thing about it was the package only came with one of each letter so every phrase I wanted to do I couldn't. I finally came up with the word creations on the bottom and started to lay out the letters only to realize that they didn't fit...arrrgghhh!! The piece of paper I used is exactly the way I found it in my scrap pile. I didn't have to cut it down or anything and decided to work with the angle cut that was already there. I am doing a scrapbook for my neighbor's son who creates all of these cool things for with his Legos. This will be the opening page to the book.

Come on down and try your hand at the challenge this week and have some fun!!!
