Moving on. . .

I managed to squeak through to the 4th round of the Bad Girls Top Design Competition. I honestly can't believe it. There were so many great layouts this round. It must have been really hard for the judges. But that makes me all the more nervous. It gets harder and harder with each round and since I did not expect to make it through this round, I feel like I'm really out of my league now. It's good though. I like the challenge.

Oh and did I mention I LOVED the September Bad Girls Kit? I used it for round 2 and 3 of the competition and it was perfect! Love it! If you don't sub to this kit club, how are you even scrapbooking? I honestly don't think I would make it without my BG kits.

Anyway. 'Till next time.

Bad Girls Top Design Contest

Despite the fact that I am far from an expert at the craft, I decided to enter the ultra competitive Bad Girls Top Design contest. There are 6 rounds, the first of which concluded last Sunday. Here is my entry for the first round. The challenge was to demonstrate layering.


I made it through to the second round and I turned in my entry today. The girl's on the site are really kind. They left me some awesome praise! This assignment was to use patterned papers.




I did the best I could and stayed true to myself so I'm satisfied with the layout. I don't know if it is good enough to advance to round three, but I'll find out tomorrow. Wish me luck.

I have an obessesion

I *heart* Gymboree. Their clothes just call me. I think I actually like buying gymboree clothes more than scrapbook supplies! Gasp! They just coordinate so beautifully on my little girl and I get the made to match (m2m in gybo talk) bows for her and it's so much fun! What is the point of having a pretty little girl like Shannon if you can't go overboard dressing her up? I mean, honestly? Scrapbooking has taught me to appreciate the little details like stitching and embellishments placed perfectly. Gymbo has it down to an art with crochet flowers and fun shaped buttons. *Swoon* They are having a sale this week and I can't resist picking up a few new pieces for my little angel's wardrobe. I simply can't resist.
