Silver Diva!
Wow! I've been participating the past few weeks in The Daily Scrap's Wall of Fame challenge.
Here's this week's layout.
Lots of fun. This week I tied for 2nd, which makes me a "Silver Diva". Yeah! But even better, the chick who won is on vacation. So they're giving her her turn next week. And since the other Silver Diva won last week, I get to take on the Golden Diva duties! And what might they be? Only unlimited access to the mall at The Daily scrap!! Okay, not quite unlimited. One by one I can request and scrap with a kit from each designer in the mall. If I manage to work through all the designers then I can pick what I want. And actually, since I'm on the TDS team so they know and trust me, they're letting me pick 3 items at a time. Perfect given that I do most of my scrapping late in the evening and into the morning, lol! I don't have to hope and pray that either Vivian or Kristi is up and about when I'm ready for something new. In fact I'm just about to get scrapping. The first kit I requested is Diggi Q's rocking Under Construction. I'm going to use it to scrap some of the pics I took at our local Dufferin Aggregates open house. Man, those are some big machines and a big quarry! Next I requested Jessica Dixon's Elegant Linens, this week's Wall of Fame kit. No idea what I'm going to scrap with that one, better get thinking! Not that I can win Golden Diva for another month, but still the fun of scrapping! Lastly I asked for Terri Walsh's terribly cute Baby in Blue Jeans. That one is easy, her sample layout on her kit promo sold me. I have a great pic of Rusty and two baby group buds, looking adorable!
Here's how the kits look!
And I have extra inspiration to use with all these kits! Yeah, I spent a good chunk of today browsing through Scrapbooks Etc. But I also got an email from Jen Caputo yesterday. Sigh, another rejection. I'd submitted a logo to her contest. But for submitting, I got a $4 coupon to her store, so bought her new 8.5 x 11 templates! We're convincing her to design in rectangles as well as square! I confused the heck out of her though. I've been using both my given name and my nickname in the scrapping world. Started off with one, kinda starting to switch to the other. Used one to submit to her, another to cash in my coupon. So she was wondering just who the heck I was cashing that in. Sorry Jen!
And here's her collection, way kewl.
Yeah, and speaking of rejections, I didn't get onto Ashley Olsen's team either. Sigh. But she did say she thought my gallery was "lovely". So I keep trying to improve my scrapping, keep trying to grow. And keep trying out for CTs that appeal to me!
