New Tut and Poll

I just finished a new tut for the tag below.
I'm starting to get into the Halloween spirit so I'll probably be doing more Halloween tuts soon.
The tut for this tag can be found HERE.


I've also got a poll on my tut site asking which tuts you'd rather see.
You can get a free set of tagger papers just for giving me your opinion.
See the poll HERE.

New layouts

Maybe some day I'll get my own CT, but for now I'm on the CT at MooTwo Designs and just joined the CT at Scraps with Attitude.

Here are some new layouts I've just finished.



Both of these layouts were made with the same kit called Autumn by This-be-me Scraps at MooTwo Designs.
This kit is huge and for a limited time is on sale half off. You can find it here:

Layouts made while on Vacation

These are the lo's I got done while I was on vacation.
The links for each kit is under the lo.


The above lo was created with the fun kit from Donna Wheway from MooTwo Designs called Back Road Bikin.
These are images I took of the landscape in Northern CA.
You can find the kit here:

Saturday night dinner is always a group affair.
The above lo was created with Marvelouw Melons by Donna Wheway.
You can find the kit here:

I love how our dogs are in good spirits no matter what we put them through and camping is no different. They like to play no matter where we take them.
The above and below lo's were created with Tranquil Teal by Donna Wheway.

I've seen this on cartoons many times but was amazed to actually see it in real time.
These birds would sit here and chatter for hours making me wonder what they were planning and thinking that would cause such a noisy chat session.

Designer Survivor Final week

I got voted of the island last week so I'm not competing this week but I had a lot of fun making it all the way to the semi-final week.
I even won Immunity during week 3 when we made the cluster frames.

There is no Immunity option this week since it is the final week and only the people who got voted off the island get to vote for the sole survivor but everyone gets to download the kits they make this week.

The challenge this week is to create a kit in any theme, color, & size as long as 2 of the following Artsy looks are incorporated in the design and they have to clearly explain their techniques in the kit description post.

The Artsy looks they had to choose from are:
Watercoloring
Reverse Stamping
Doodling
Sanding
Stitching Fabric
Alcohol ink
Embossing

The kits are due by Thursday at 9 (pst).
There is already one submitted here:

Designer Survivor Links week 5 freebie

This week was probably hardest for me because we went on a family camping trip and I had to work on my laptop.
The camping was goo except it was colder than we had expected and we ended up getting sick but I made my laptop work and came up with another kit that I am happy to offer to you.

This was the semi-final week and there were only 7 of us left in this week.
We each had to select an era from the list of options to create a kit from.
My era was the 1800's.
Once I had a few ideas of some of the styles from this era, it was really fun to work with.

The immunity challenge for this week was to create wordart that included more than just words.

Downloads are under the previews.

Designer Survivor Links week 4 freebie

Week 4 was a difficult challenge.
We weren't in teams anymore and the challenge was to create a white wedding kit with only one accent color, although we were allowed to use green for foliage.
Well amazingly I'm happy with this final kit also.
I guess I learned quite a bit about myself during this contest and one of the main things I learned is that if I work hard enough on a goal, I am usually happy with the outcome.

The immunity challenge for this week was to create a brag book from our week 3 kit.

Download links are below the previews.

During week 4 I made covers for this brag book as an extra freebie.
You can find those in this post here on my blog.

Designer Survivor Links week 3 freebie

The challenge fro week 3 was for each team member to pick an emotion and a color to go with that emotion and create a kit with only shades of that color and that emotion. We picked a team palette and my emotion color combination was Joy in shades of blue.

I was worried in the beginning because blue is hard to get warmth and joy out of but I'm surprisingly happy with my final kit.
Immunity for week 3 was to create a frame out of pieces from our previous kits with a new element added.

Designer Survivor Links week 2 freebie

The challenge for week 2 was to create a realistic camping kit.
We had a big group so my part seems small but I'm pretty happy with the way it came out and the links are under the preview.

For the Immunity challenge we did an autumn paper pack and I can only offer my part here as a freebie but I have permission from everyone in the group to sell the whole paper pack and I'll let you know when I get that in the stores.

Designer Survivor Finale

Well the final week in the Designer Survivor Contest at Brownie Scraps is this week.
Since I got voted off the island in the last tribal council, I won't be competing this week but I'll let you know when they post the freebies.

We made a last-of-the-summer camping trip last week and I only had dial-up internet access which is why I couldn't post here about the week. I really feel for those who have dial-up internet as their main internet access. It's slower than grampa turtle.

Anyway, now that I'm home I'm going to post links to my contest entries right here so if you missed them, you can pick them up.
These links will be good for the rest of this month.

Keep a lookout over the next couple of days and as I sort out my parts, I'll post them here plus I'll post some extra freebies made along the way..

Thanks for all your votes and support.

Janet
