Extra Kids, Stupid Internet, & Tons of Concrete...

Yep...that's what's been happening in my life...doing some babysitting, super-slow... sometimes non-existant internet service, and my sister's basement walls are up!! But I finally got a chance to post a little something. Let's see...do I have any pictures to share?? Maybe...

I've been playing along with Bad Girl's Kits Top Designer challenges. The first challenge was about layering so I grabbed some yummy Jenni Bowlin papers...here's my layout from that week:

And the second week was all about combining patterned papers, lots of Cosmo Cricket on this page...here's my layout for that week:
And I haven't started on this week's white-space challenge yet but I'm really excited about it. I hope I can pull it off!! Last year, I made it through 3 weeks and got cut after my fourth layout...which was a white-space layout. Looking back on that layout, I can totally see why. {hehe!!} What was I thinking?? Oh well...I learned a lot and it was so fun so that's why I decided to join again this year.
Oh my goodness...I almost forgot!!! We added our new DT members over at AC Bailey!! My friend, Leah, has joined our team!! Woohoo!! So now Leah and I are on two teams together!! But our Dianne Rigdon hybrid Creative Team spots don't require any message board responsibilities or any communication with other team members so it really doesn't feel like we're on the same team. But at AC Bailey...it's we definitely know we're on the same team. {hehe!!} Lots of behind-the-scenes stuff to chat about. And another friend that I actually met on the ACB message boards, April, has joined our team!! Yay!! She is a very talented digi, hybrid, and traditional scrapper and a sweetheart on top of that!! And a newcomber to the boards, Elisabeth, is our third new member. Even though I haven't known her for very long, I can tell she's a very nice and creative lady!! I'm really looking forward to getting to know her more! We're so lucky to have our three new talents joining the crew!!
But I have to admit...I'm still so bummed about my bud, Amanda, leaving our ACB team. I really did try to talk her into staying. Well...maybe not so much talking...more like whining and begging! But I do understand her reasons for leaving. I'm just going to miss having her on the team.
So a big congratulations and welcome to the new members!! And we still have a week left with Amanda on the team so it's not over yet!! And Amanda...I promise to do better with my blog posting!! {hehe!} And you know...if you happen to miss a day or {gulp} two on the ACB boards, I may have to hunt you down. ;-)
Thanks for stopping by!! Have a happy day!!
