Layouts this past week…
Yes I know I didn’t do one of these posts last weekend, you know why? Because I didn’t scrap any layouts! I couldn’t believe it, I didn’t scrap a single one I was so busy with all the giveaway stuff I only got a couple new card designs done but no actual layouts. So here are 2 I did manage to get done this week, it’s not much… I’m kind of in a scrapping slump I think. It happens once in a while. I think this time it’s partially because I’m so sad about so many of my fav sites closing. I used to do the Digi Scrap Divas challenges, they’re on hiatus. I had just found My Digital Muse and their card sketch challenge, now they’ve closed (the card sketch challenge however has moved, I’ll be letting you know about that challenge’s changes soon). And now The Digi Shoppe has closed, and that has really made me sad. I loved the challenges there, and the rest of the site too. I really miss The Digi Shoppe, it was a really sad day when I removed them from my blog roll.
But without further ado here are the 2 layouts I did get scrapped this week, the first was for the Quirkshop 101 at Scrapbook Graphics and the other is the photos of our pumpkin carving this year. Still have to get around to scrapping the Halloween pics… lol.
Also used in creating this layout but unfortunately no longer available as far as I know:
Cardboard edges by Bren Boone;
Spiral border from Christy Lyle’s Cardboard mini books;
Notepaper and “Love ya” wordart from Lauren Grier’s Girl Notes;
Assorted Frames by Kim Higueria;
Conversation cups image is from istockphoto.com and by Anna Liza Dala.
Also used in creating this layout is a set of cluster frames by Nancy Comelab that was included in Dani Mogstad’s Birthday Bash gift bag. Sticker border and puffy bevel on graphics was done by me to give Kay Miller’s beautiful graphics a sticker look.

The pumpkin carving layout is so sweet. I love the progression! It’s funny that you were talking about getting no layouts done in your post today since part of my post was a whine for another hour in the day:).
I really like your work! Can’t wait to see more!
