So – its not even 11:00 and already this day is a stress-fest<\/span>. So much going on with design work at SM. I think being a designer is a lot more work than people imagine. It’s not just the fun stuff – creating cute stuff and scrapping. It’s all the behind the scenes stuff that really gets me feeling run-down.<\/p>\n

But I don’t want to focus on the negative. It just makes me feel worse. So – let me focus on something positive. I’ll share some of the pages I scrapped last week. This first one is for the new “My Story Matters”<\/a> challenge I started this yesterday.<\/p>\n

I REALLY love the My Story Matters challenges. Creating this personal history is so fun. I can just imagine my future children holding it on their laps and reading about me and learning about my life. PLUS its fun to be nostalgic and reminisce. BUT almost NO ONE does them. I get about 6 or 7 entries for each challenge at that’s it (and that’s counting the SM Team members who do them)! I can almost guarantee you that they are the least popular challenge at SM. Which makes me worry that they’ll get canceled some day. I strongly urge you guys to jump in and start scrapping these challenges. They are just so much fun!! They definitely aren’t getting the following they deserve! HAHA<\/p>\n

This next page I scrapped with a fabulous new collab. kit by Tangie Baxter and DeCrow Designs called “Medieval Faire”<\/a>. It’s so fun!!! Makes me wish I could go to a Renaissance Faire or something!<\/p>\n

Another page using a brand new kit by Mira Designs called “Under the Sea”<\/a>. Mira Designs just moved to Shabby Pickle Designs<\/a>! And this is her debut kit over there.<\/p>\n

Here’s the page I scrapped with it:<\/p>\n

And, Minna is offering a free add-on and QP on her blog<\/a> – so go pick that up too!<\/p>\n

This is the page I did at the Speed Scrap last week. My family went to support my cousin who was in town last week touring with his band. It was the craziest, hardest, screamiest ‘music’ I’ve ever heard. But he was living his dream and we were there to support him and that’s all that matters.<\/p>\n

Wow – I just realized I scrapped a LOT of stuff last week. Mostly for CTs. Ok – let’s soldier on.<\/p>\n

And last but not least – getting a little artsy with a “fat book” page.<\/p>\n

Ok – looking through my LOs has made me feel a little better. Sorry if I bored you guys, but it was good therapy for me.<\/p>\n

I’ll see you guys tomorrow. Be sure to check my blog tomorrow – a BIG ANNOUNCEMENT will be posted.<\/p>\n

See ya!<\/p>\n
