Been a few months, need to update!
Personal:
Not only off from teaching for the summer, but job hunting. Living with my sister and doing things neither of us had time for like, cleaning out the garage, listing stuff on our Half store, etc.
Scrapping:
Got on the Scrap Professor CT team last week. I'm so excited.
Also found Digital Craft Cottage. Looks like a fun place. The LO is Christmas tags from DCC Down Home Christmas team kit for the Christmas Tag Exchange. Check out the other entries and try it yourself.

Cat book

The Christmas rush is over and I am settling back into the school routine (blah).
I have had some chances to get back to scrapping. A while ago I started a cat book that will eventually contain pictures of the cats my sister and I have shared quarters with for the last 15 years.
Here are Faith and Hope, 2 little strays the girl brought home from church one Wednesday night many years ago. Hope died several years ago, but the beautiful Faith is as shy as ever.

Kit: Acorn Designs' Tigger

Digitals' CT

I finally got onto Digitals' Store CT! This month I am working with DeDe Smith, famous for her Tearz. Here is one of the layouts I made with the Bundled Up kit. See the other's at my Digitals' gallery.

New Designing Challenge

I found another site which helps aspiring designers.
Plain Digital Wrapper Dabbling in Design challenge provides tools and a color pallet to create mini-kits. Everyone who contributes receives copies of all participants mini-kits. Here is my contribution. I had created a few more elements but only sent in these.

I'm looking forward to next month's challenge.
Here is the link to the challenge.

Back to School Word Art

Our second assignment for the Teach-nique Thursdays at Digi-by-Design is word art. Here is what I submitted.

If anyone is interested in me creating a download set, please make a comment.

Digi-by-Design hosts a chat (a group of future designers) that work with a designer. Starting from a color swatch, we are guided to create parts of a kit. After 6 weeks, we exchange the parts with the group and end up with a diverse mega-kit. We have just started my second round.

Here is my first submission from the Back-to-School kit.

• 6 12x12 pages
• 1 word art

More to come.

A set of Christmas tags created for the gift tag exchange at Studio
Style Designs Christmas in August. I used the Cindy Lou Christmas kit which is the Daily Download this month.

My second kit

My second kit was also submitted to the Go Digital Scrapbooking Next Big Designer Contest.
topic was heritage.
I designed a picture pedigree, various metal objects and some wood elements.

Voting is over - we'll see if they will let me continue.
