There was also two light grey pieces of bazill cardstock, a piece of light green lace, a few brads, buttons, a chipboard letter (could have been a 'q', 'b', or a 'p') and a pretty metal flowery charm. So the challenge was to make a double layout using ALL of the pieces in the kit. Since the papers were double sided I could used them either way except for one...had to be face up (the last one). I was able to use as many pics as I wanted.
Sooooo....this is what I was able to whip up....
I was really really happy with how it turned out...and I think the lady at the store liked it too...we will see if I get picked as one of the five finalists! Kim is doing the contest too, I'm sure she will do something insanely awesome!
What else happened this week...
We recieved a little bit of hope from the doctor who seems to think that although it will be a rough road ahead..... Gramps has a good shot of beating this cancer. So of course that was good to hear!
Stephen and I sent out a LOAD of applications to a bunch of schools in North Carolina and Virginia... and also a few in Maryland. Over the course of the next week I am going to be mailing out the remaining information (which is a ton of junk) that the schools need. It is like "instant head-ache" everytime I look at this stuff, but I'm hopeful it will pay off in the end. I'm starting to see that I need to be more open to elementary schools...since the majority of the job postings are K-5! (Grrr)
My Moms best friend Andi, is an AMAZING artist...she paints these gorgeous pictures, they are just stunning! The past 2 she made she took pics of and mailed them to us. The first one my mom framed, and the second one... I did this too...
She put the layout in this really pretty shadow box, and hung it up in the bathroom...too cute!
Hmmmm what else? Stephen and I went to the movies this afternoon and saw "Knowing"... I thought it was great! Is it weird that I love those "end of the world" types of movies?? I can not wait to see "2012"....when I see the trailer with that monk running from that huge wave coming over the himalayas...I get the chills! LOL...I'm a freak! Anyway one last layout before I go... this one I just did tonight for a "scrap whispers" challege... it had to be "mother-related"...
Oh my goodness! One last thing, how could I forget....I was "artist of the day" at Lets Scrap Divas on Thursday March 26th!!! They chose the card that I made for Stephen's moms birthday... let me refresh your memory...
Since I can't post a link to it because you must be a member...this is what it said...
"This gorgeous card caught my eye this morning....LOVE what you did with the Porcelian collection! Those flowers are cool! :D Great job!"
Well I have never been chosen for anything like that before so needless to say I was quite "ecstastical"! Ok...enough for tonight!!
