I had the privilege to meet up with another member from ScrapMatters. It was awesome because after living in the South for almost three years I discovered someone lived in my city! So one day in December we met up for an afternoon at McDonalds. We talked about our family's, our lives, digiscrapping and other online places. We started talking about a fellow designer friend, Connie Prince who happens to live in the South as well. I commented about how I would love to meet Connie since I knew her from my earlier years at Gotta Pixel. Hopefully one day before we leave here next month I am able to go with Jen and meet up with Connie Prince. If not, well it was neat to know that I lived within a two hour radius from Connie!
So while Jen and I were talking at McDonalds and the children were playing, she was telling me about all the creative teams that she was on as well as places that she visited. I was amazed at her versatility of her digi sites! Here for so many years I stayed at one site, finally moved on from that site only to spend another few more years at another site. It wasn't until recently that I started venturing out of my home and found Funky Playground Designs when I was offered a spot on their Sandbox Crew! Honestly if it weren't for that, I would still be at my home.
This week I made another appearance over at Gingerscraps. A while back I had done a one kit call for a designer there, but that was about all I had devoted to the site. Sad, I know. I wished I had stuck around a little bit more because their challenges are a whole lot of fun and their designers are really talented!
The first challenge that I did this week was their Mini Kit Challenge. We had to use Sugar Kissed Designs Tranquility in our layout.
At first I was timid about the coloring, if you remember I am not a fan of pastels, let alone blues. But after downloading the kit I was thankful that I participated in the challenge because it turned out to be one of my favorite layouts that I've made in a while!
So I check back in the forum and gallery to find that this layout had been nominated for their Baker's Best! Basically what it is, is from there, they take all the layouts that were nominated and pick one of them to be the layout of the week! If that isn't awesome, while looking through the thread, I noticed that another one of my layouts had been nominated as well!!
Not only did I have one layout in GingerScraps' Baker's Best, I had two!
I can't believe it and am in shock myself! But I have to admit, this time that I have taken off has made me appreciate my time scrapping which in result is producing layouts that I enjoy and really love!
That's all I got today....
