This is what happens....

when i'm pretty badly scrappily deprived. I've not scrapped since... like 5 or 6 days ago. Yep, an eternity. So here i am, with my creative outburst. What do you think? Oh and just a note. this is the day 5 sketch from http://www.inspiredtoscrap.net sketch class. I can't share the sketch because its a paid class that i was fortunate enough to win! yay!!! anyway, its a super simple sketch. And my scrap room just seemed to blow up all over it, but i like it!

So cool!

My layout "raw red potatoes" was featured on Allison Davis' blog today! Every once in a while she posts layouts that were made with their amazing sketches! i can't even WAIT to be able to buy these sketch books!

My August and September SCRAPTASTIC DT pages!!

Wow, i'm sure late posting these! It all happened so fast! i joined the DT, then I recieved my first kit in the mail a couple days later, then a few more days later my September kit came! so in addition to Homeschooling, taking care of the babies, and all my other stuff, i've been scrapping like a mad woman!! Here's what i made with my first kit, the August "He's so Rock and Roll" kit seen here





And here is September- I used the Alphabet Soup Boys' kit. seen here And i LOVE LOVE LOVED this kit! i still have plenty left too so more will be coming...

Scrapbook Sussies

i have heard the raves about Scrapbook Sussies since their inception a few years ago. Being on a constant spending freeze, i've not had as much opportunity to try out some of the GREAT kit clubs that are out there, but Scrapbook Sussies has remained steadily on my radar for quite some time. It doesn't help that i have a friend who often sells me mystery boxes that usually contain partial Sussies kits! AAK! so i have several partial kits and i tend to use them up super fast.. good stuff! Anyway, today i'm buying one!!! Lara posted a contest to her blog that you should all totally go check out! She's giving away 2 3 MONTH SUBS!!! I'm eager to WIN this baby or at least try really hard. You should give it a shot too!!!
