Been Gone a while

Whew!  What a week I've had.  My department at work had its annual week-long meeting.  We have people in all of our US manufacturing sites and we bring them all together once a year for a face-to-face meeting to discuss our challenges and make our plans for the next year.  This year was a great meeting and very invigorating.  But also very tiring.  I was bone weary when I went to bed last night.  But I plan to make the weekend very relaxing and by Monday I'll be back and raring to go again.

However, I've been concentrating on getting ready for this meeting and not getting much scrapping done, but that should change now.  I can concentrate on my CT duties again and play a little more as well.  I have signed up for an interesting challenge at Ginger Scraps that I will be working on for a while.  Its called "Survivor:  Grandma's Attic"  I just completed the first week's challenge:  Aging Gracefully.  The idea was to take a more current photo and age it and use both photos in a layout.  Here it is:

I used the kit, All Together Now, from Ambowife.  One of the requirements of the layout was no templates.  That made me stretch a bit.  I like to use templates; the proportions seem to come out a little better for me. 

I also have completed the siggy challenge at Gotta Pixel.  Here it is; using the Baked to Perfection kit by Lindsay Jane.  This one was lots of fun, too.

Blog Train Fun

Wow!  217 people have downloaded my quick page.  I find that amazing!  I'm glad you all like it; I enjoy doing it for you.  So, now its the first of the month again, I'm off looking for new challenges to do.  I noticed last night they had the siggy challenge up at Gotta Pixel again, so I'll be doing that; and of course, there's the recipe card challenge at The Studio.  I wonder what other fun stuff I can find...

Great new kit!

I found a fun challenge over at GottaPixel today.  The challenge was to design a signature or "siggie" as they call it from a given template.  I did it using a new kit from scrapN2Nspire, available over at DigiSisters.  Here's a preview of the kit:

And here's my siggie for the challenge.

You can find the kit at the DigiSisters store here.   The "scrabble" tiles are not part of the kit; they were a freebie at computerscrapbook.com
