Don't call it a come back!!!

Alright so here I am back at my unloved, forgotten blog. Here is my 2010 attempt to make you AWESOME!!!! So here I go. I am planning on posting a new layout of mine every two weeks. And a re-cap of whats going on with me.

So on to the recap...
I decided last year to get out in the scrapbooking world and see if people thought my layouts were as good as I thought they were. Yep I really have grown the past few years in scrapbooking. Found my individual voice. Amazingly this happened when I cancelled all my magazine subscriptions and stopped really looking at other peoples work for inspiration. It is just me. No to say I don't still love to look at amazing artist's work and learn a thing or two.
So I decided to enter on of my layouts into the Creating Keepsakes Pasadena Convention layout contest. I won second place. Check out the posting... It's a badge of honor Creating Keepsakes
So then I decided I wanted to be part of a design team. Not just any team.... But the holy grail of design teams.... Creative Xpress.com.... What What.... And can you believe it. I got accepted as a 2009-2010 Design Team member. That's Insane. They like me they really like me. So how lucky am I? I get to play with the latest cricut cartridges and share my work every month. I am 3 months into it already and I still pinch myself to see if I'm dreaming.... Check out the website to see my goodies and the goodies from the rest of the amazing design team.
