YIKES!!

Life has been SOOO SUPER busy lately! Sorry I have fallen behind in everything! I thought with the boys going to school 3 mornings a week I'd be more on track, but not yet! I think I need to get myself on more of a schedule. But enough of the excuses and on with the good stuff!!!

First off I have to share this. I check my e-mail quickly yesterday morning and see an e-mail marked SNR Publication Requirements with a weird e-mail address and I am thinking its some kind of e-mail with an update of their requirements or something and look past it. After checking the other e-mails I FINALLY open this one and guess what??? They want 6 of my layouts for a special double issue coming out on the 26th of the month!! It had been SO long since I had submitted I totally forgot that I did!!! So now I get to have this cute little guy!!! : ) {OK so I don't know how this part got SOO BIG, and I can't get it to change!}

SUPER EXCITING!!!

In other news make sure you head on over to the Midnight Oil Scrapbook Designs blog and check out my post from last week with a cute back to school idea!! Be sure to look around at all the other AWESOME projects my fellow DT members have been creating as well! Some SUPER cute stuff on there right now!

And over at Paper Popsicles the fabulous Amy Duff has created yet again another FABULOUS card sketch for the weekly card challenge!

Don't forget you have till next Tuesday the 21st to complete your card and get it uploaded to the Paper Popsicles blog! And here is my card I made using this sketch and an image from Cheeky Radish.

And while we are on the subject of Paper Popsicles and cards check out these cuties made using the Shaped card templates! And the shape card templates are new and improved as now the shape is only an outline allowing you to print directly onto your paper or for making a stencil and using very little of your ink! Once you start playing with these shaped cards you WILL become addicted they are SOOO much fun!! There are SOOO many to chose form and there are ALWAYS new ones being added, so go on over and get some to play with!

OK you will have to wait till tomorrow for the other card-I am still putting a finishing touch on it! ; )

Well it sounds like the natives are getting restless so that's it for today, but I'll be back again soon with more! ; )

TFL!
