Layouts, Layouts, Layouts...

I've not had too much time to get a whole lot done. Here are a few that I have done but haven't posted here yet.

This layout was my submission for Scrap Whispers Challenge #8 which was to use a handmade pillow from Etsy as my inspiration.
This layout is using Scrapbook Challenges #117 and I also used it for my "Family Feud" challenge over on the ScrapCity Crop this week.For challenge #7 on Scrap Whispers, I did this layout which was inspired by a cartoon character.
This layout is done using a PageMap and was one of the ScrapCity's CT reveals.
Another layout for the ScrapCity CT reveal, we had to do a layout about one of our obsessions.
With Thanksgiving coming up this week, I'm not sure what I'll be able to get done. I do have a huge Scrappy To-Do list though! I'll have more to share as soon as I can.....

A New Look to Scrap Whispers

I just wanted to share the news with you that Scrap Whispers has a brand new look! It's so great and is just the beginning of some new and exciting things that are about to start happening over there. Please go check it out. Also, now is the time to sign up for the next round of the Scrap Whispers scraplifting! Remember that the object here is to send around a layout one person at a time to scraplift so you can see the progression of the "Scrap Whipser" at the end. If you head on over to this thread, you can sign up to play. And when you do, be sure to tell them that Telah sent you!

And while I'm at it, there are great weekly challenges with wonderful prizes to take advantage of on the Scrap Whispers blog. Here is what I did for Challenge #6-Sticky Situations:

A Few New Layouts....

Here are some layouts and a card I did recently using the Sweet Pea Scraps October Kit. I loved that kit. It seemed like after each layout I did, I liked the kit that much more. I still have a good bit left so I should be able to do some more soon.

Mark your calendars now for this crop over on ScrapCity! All of the games and challenges are based on Television Game Shows or Board Games. I've gotten some sneak peeks at what some of the games and challenges will be and you are going to love them. We will all have so much fun during this week. So head on over and sign up to play in this thread: Tracking Thread

Some Halloween Goodies

Here are a few things I've made this year for Halloween. I signed up for this workshop with Jamie to create a Spooky Spider Jar, but I was unable to attend. I got all my supplies from Jamie and finally put it together today. I love the look with all the candy inside! With some of the leftover supplies, I made this card using the sketch from a Card Challenge on ScrapCity and 2 Sketches 4 You . I'm going to let Andrew give it to his teacher at his party later today.And speaking of cards, I made this one for the Inkadink challenge last week. Annessa is going to give it to her teacher today.And lastly, here are their treat bags they'll be giving out today at their parties. I printed the wording, "Have a Safe and Happy Halloween From Your Friend Annessa/Andrew" on the cardstock, cut it out and added the stamps from Close To My Heart.I picked up these cute bags at Big Lots on sale yesterday. They are made out of a canvas material and I am planning to get them monogrammed on the back with the kids names. Maybe "Annessa's Loot" and so on!

Some Recent Layouts

I got some scrapping done this week. Here's a run down on what I've done lately.

1. Challenge #3 over on YMBD. This contest had to be cancelled due to some unfortunate circumstances. Too bad because I had moved onto round #4. Oh, well. Here is the layout I had done:
2. This next layout is a Two-fer. I used Sketch #114 over on Scrapbook Challenges and used the "recipe" for the Scrap Whispers Challenge #4.
3. I also did a few layout for the Scrapbook Circle Boo Bash that was held over the weekend. Here are the three I did. Hey, and I was lucky enough to win 3 RAKs! I smell happy mail on it's way to me!
4. Dixie Pieces is celebrating their one year birthday with a month-long challenge celebration. Here are a couple layouts I've done for them.

I've got several more layouts I want to get done this week. And for this reason, my housework is surely suffering! Hope you are having a great week!

Please Go Vote!

It's that time again. YMBD is taking votes for the layout you like the best for Challenge #3 in the "So You Think You Can Scrap?" Contest. This week's challenge was to complete a layout using something other than the normal squares, rectangles, circles, ovals, etc. that are generally used as the main focus on the page. Eight contestants will be eliminated after the vote. You have until Sunday evening to go vote (remember only one vote). Here's the link: Vote Here
