So it’s been a long time since I blogged about scrapbooking. Not really sure why…It’s something I love doing, something I do almost every day, and really a pretty big part of my life. I love making little pieces of art that tell the stories of my life. So I thought I would do a blog post about scrapbooking and some pretty cool things that have happened!

At the beginning of the summer, I entered a contest at a site called Croppin’ Paradise. It was a contest with 5 rounds, with more and more people being eliminated along the way until it was down to 5 finalists. Well, what do you know… I was one of the 5 finalists! The grand prize was a $500 prize package…pretty sweet. I never thought I had a chance to even make it very far in the contest, but I ended up getting second place and $100 prize package! I was so exited. My sister was asking about it the other day, so here is a link to my gallery at that site, or if you want to see all the rounds, here is a link to the Queen of Paradise galleries. That was a really fun contest and a great way to scrap some pages that I probably wouldn’t have otherwise.

About that same time, I was asked to be on the design team at my very favorite scrapbook site, In a Blink of an Eye. Now I get to work with a fabulous group of people and make stuff using goodies from the store! So fun.

And then today I got a request from one of the magazines! I’m going to be a little bit famous again! I have a page that is going to be in the December issue of Scrapbook Answers magazine. This is such a great magazine-lots of great articles and pages! So be sure and look for the Scrapbook Answers magazine in a few months-you can find it in Wal-Mart and Target or even the grocery store.

I’m not really sure why I don’t blog about this stuff…I don’t want to be braggy or whatever. But it is pretty exciting and I want to share! So while I am sharing, here are a few pages I have done lately that I really love.
