Last round of Layout Contest

So the contest had some unintended results.  I was contacted personally by one of the designers at the Studio to be personally invited to join their CT team!  Now I just have to make up my mind.  For all the artists that didn't make it in the later rounds there is a side contest.  The winners get a guest spot on theStudio CT team for a month.  FOr the last week of competition we had to make 2 pages with various requirements.  Here are my final two pages for the contest.

Life is taking over

Life is taking over at our house and my scrapping is taking a backseat for the next several months as we purchase our first house, celebrate the holidays and become a family of 5.  When we make changes we make them count!  I have stepped back from my CT duties but will still be scrapping when I can find the time, and hopefully remember to share it here.

I participated in a fun contest this month at theStudio.  I made it through 3 of 4 weeks before being eliminated.  It was a lot of fun to work with some new kits and be challenged by the other contestants.

Week 1: Black Holes by Nibbles Scribbles

Week 2: Template by Aimee Harrison Designs

Week 3: Indian Summer by JanetB Designs and Carin Grobe Designs

I Won LOTW!

I'm so excited one of my pages for the opening of Two Moose Designs was chosen as Layout of the Week at theStudio!  I won a coupon to the store and bragging rights for the week :)

Here is another look at the winning page and scroll down for the story!

Give Thanks by Two Moose Designs

The story behind the page:  My son turned 2 and we did a variety of activities over the week to celebrate.  On his actual birthday he made a crown for him to wear, we skyped with the grandparents, and ate cupcakes.  The funny part of this page is when he was eating his cupcake he was way more in to the Thomas train he had just opened than the cupcake in front of him.  The picture was luck.  You care read about the rest of his birthday week on our family blog.

This Scrapper's Got Talent
I was eliminated in the second week of this contest.  I loved the page I made but the competition was tough.  Maybe next year.  

Capture the Moment Week 4

They are really making us work at theStudio for this Capture the Moment contest.  Week 4 was about Fall. We were instructed to focus on the theme of Loss.  we used this great kit  Autumn Reflections by Skrapper Digitals.

The story I  shared was about the circumstance of my Grandfather's death a year ago.  My family and I had plans to go to Disney World.  My grandpa passed away that night.  While we were having fun.

Due to the nature of the assignment and the stories everyone told in their pages.  No one was eliminated and all 10 of us have made it to the final round.  We will be using the Fa La La Bundle by Digilicious Designs and scrapping Christmas.

Capture the Moment Week 3

I made it to week 3 of the Capture the Moment contest.  This included things I was not use to working with.  And made it a real challenge.  We used Blue Wave a new kit by Julie C Designs.  Here is my week 3 entry.
