My challenge for you this week at www.thescraphabit.com is a designer challenge!!!! Use any kit by Alma Townsend (the wonderful owner of the scrap habit!!!!) Here’s my layout, I used Alma’s "Regal" kit, and a template by Keely Simpson the font is Scriptina.

*sigh* NOT on the Master’s top 20 list…. I was so hoping that they would post the top 50 (like they have done every other year)…. I absolutely did not think I would win, but I was hoping that I might make the 30 homorable mentions, or finalists, or whatever they called it…. Oh well… I can believe that I was (’cause there’s no proof that I wasn’t!!!!!) I still LOVE my entry, and wouldn’t change a thing…. I hope that a couple of them get picked up for something ’cause I really love them!!! So many calls lately are requesting never-posted-online that I’m gonna save them and not post them for a while…. but I’m gonna send them to every call that comes up :)  Off to check calls now and see if they fit anything……

Here’s one I created today using Laura Burger’s "Retro Chic" paper pack, and one of her templates from her Template set #3 from www.threescrapateers.com … I’m so loving using templates!!!! They are so quick and so fun… I flipped it 180, ’cause I liked how it fit the picture better :) Hey… it’s something to do while we wait for the big MMM announcement… There’s so much speculation! I just want them to call me :) I’d be so psyched to just see my name anywhere on the big list when they post it…. I’m sure that there’s no actual chance…. but it’s so FUN to think about it!!!!

am so excited to be a part of Keely Simpson’s layered templates creative team!!! In the last few days she needed a bunch of layouts for use as examples… and I’ve been a scrapping maniac :) I love the templates!!! What fun!!!!! Here’s what I’ve done in the last couple days…… Here’s my 8.5×11 samples

I used kits from:

Jessica Bolton (of www.eclecticscraps.com)

Royanna Fritschmann (of www.divinedigital.com)

Kelly Shults (of www.scrapix-design.com)

Andrea Nelson (of www.divinedigital.com)

Here’s one I just finished using Jessica Bolton’s totally AWESOME "Unamused Boys" kit….. the journaling is on "pull-out" tags…. (gotta love layers!!) and reads: I love this picture! It isn’t at all what it seems!!! It looks like you’re having a tantrum but that’s not it!! You’re having a blast sitting in the sand dunking your head! Fun!
