CT Contest Week 2

Round 2 of the Battle of the CTs over at DigiScrap Addicts is now complete! This round was so much fun - the task was called "I've Got Rhythm" and our layouts had to have a musical theme - all five of our teams' layouts had to have the same theme, too! So, my team decided to use a Celine Dion song called "If I Could." We each took a verse of the song that we felt applied to us, included the coda somewhere on the page, and scrapped photos of our children. Then, we each wrote some heartfelt journaling to our kids and told them what the verse from the song meant to us. Our team pages came out AWESOME!! Here is a look at each of them:

If interested, you can check out the lyrics to "If I Could" here, and also see a video of Celine performing it here.

Vote for Me!!!

Did you know that I am competing, along with four other fabulous chicks, in the Battle of the CTs at Digiscrap Addicts? That's right, I am! I am one member of the fab 5 team known as "Trixie's Scrap Stars!" We're having so much fun competing together!

This week, our challenge was to create a white-space layout with a common color theme. We could also optionally choose a common page theme, as well. So, the girls and I got together and we decided to use Trixie Scraps' mini kit, Sarah's Song, for our layouts. We also decided to do a common theme and we all put together an "ABC About Me" page - they turned out GREAT!! Here's a look at each of our layouts:

Julie Marie Day

Wow. Sorry for the neglect. Life got a little crazy there for a bit. Today I want to post some more of my CT layouts for you. We'll just call today Julie Marie day, as all my LO's are with her kits!! If you're interested in these kits, I've got her blinkie on my sidebar.

I call this first one "A Glimpse of Heaven." I know, cheesy title. I got it from the word art and I think it works. This was made with the GORGEOUS Midnight Romance kit.

The next three were not originally intended to be 3 seperate pages. I was going to make a page with this kit: Serendipity by Julie Marie Designs. So, I started looking through my pics and found these 3 photos of my boys. They all fit together so nicely, but I didn't want to shove them all together on one page. So, I seperated them and they made lovely related pages. The first two are a little different for me. There's very little to them. But, sometimes I think simplicity speaks volumes.

Sneaky Peeky!!

The first kit from the Scrappity-Doo-Dah Element Team, at least the first one I've been a part of, will be coming out soon. When it does, you can bet I'll have a link up for it!! In the mean time, I thought I would whet your pallette with a sneak peak of my contribution to the kit. I'm quite proud of this, I hope it gets you excited for what's to come!
