This is the [scrap]life!

I've been scrapping now for hours, while listening to Project Runway epis. I am just so amazed by the talent I see. Youtube is just the best! Here is today's creation. I call it Your Kiss. I was going to write the song lyrics up on the top right hand corner of my hubby's photo. But idk. If anyone is reading, would you care to comment?

After recieveing this email...

Hi Melissa,
Thanks for uploading the additional layouts to the gallery. My girls are in love with your work, however we're concerned with the quality of the photos of the LOs that you placed in the gallery. They are pretty hard to see, crooked, and fairly low quality. One of the most important tasks as a design team member is to be able to clearly show completed projects as well as step-by-step projects in the gallery and on the blog. We want our readers to see us as professionals, and quality photos of our work are a big part of that.
I wrote an article on the blog not too long ago about placing layouts online, which included some tips about scanning and photographing your layouts.
If you can, please read the article and re-photograph or scan your layouts for submission and email them to me so I can share them with the other girls. If we can get good quality images of your layouts, you will be advancing to the next round!
Thanks,
Angel



I asked my husband to please buy me a camera.

AND HE DID!!!!




So, I took more pictures of my pages and reposted them. I figured it would be better to reload them on the DT Contest page. It would show my effort than just emailing them. And guess what? I was right. This is the email that followed.

They are perfect! Thank you for taking the time and effort to reload the images. I can let you know that thanks to your extra time, you'll definitely be going through to round two, so be prepared - we have some lovely challenges ready for you guys!! ;)

I am definitely happy about this.
I wonder what challenges lay before me.....

What about Project Scrapbook?

I had to stay home from church this morning. I've been feeling quite sickly the past few days. Was it the Dutch Apple Pie? Nah. Couldn't be. I relaxed in bed, only a few feet from the bathroom watching Project Runway, Season One. I am so unbelieveably amazed with what those people can do with a needle and some fabric. It has captivated me. I believe I will find my way through youtube searching for a way to be impressed through all seasons I've missed. What time constraints they have! I read up on the winner, Jay McCarroll. Apparently, he did not accept the conditions of his winnings (100,000 dollars and a mentorship with Banana Republic) and declined the opportunity. But, why, Jay?





I also managed to scraplift this lovely page from Celine Navarro. She is awesome!

Here's mine.As you can see, it really isn't much different. Can you tell I love her stuff!!!!

This is...

This is what an 8-hr scrapbook page looks like.


I just couldn't get the flow going. Finally I got myself some creativity jolts with the help of a Caramel Mocha Latte. Mmmmmm

The week of the 24th

I spent all day yesterday going through countless embellishments. And, of course, finding those little hidden treasures that I didn't even know I had (yay!).








I also have to admit taking some scrap breaks to play my daughter's Guitar Hero III that she got for Christmas. Soooo addicting!
And poor Mimi wanted me to put down the guitar and play with her...

Randomness

I've been feeling oh-so romantic lately and decided to scrap a mini about when my husband proposed. Here's what I've got going on so far.

Today's Blessing!

Wow! I can't believe it! Tammy @ the paper niche actually asked me to be a part of their Design Team. Did you get that? "Design Team" My husband says, "I told you you were good, baby." So now I am off to create some super fab layouts!!! Here's some more stuff from Scrap Pink Weekend!
