SM November Newsletter's Goodness

So, I wonder if the Scrap Matters' Newsletter freebie kit is going to just get better and better each month! I just love this GORGEOUS GOODNESS from Erica and Maria. They're so generous to share their awesome talent with us. It's not too late--make sure you're signed up here (left side column under "News")!!And here's what I did with the fab-o kit!! Ode' to my "Dream Boat"!!

Thinking ahead...

Two Speed Scraps at Scrap Matters are coming up...next week. One of which will be hosted by MOI!
The first will be on on Tuesday, the 18th at 2 pm (EST) which will be hosted by Monique. And I love this paper pack that you can get just for participating!!


Mine is the evening scrap--Wednesday night at 9 pm (EST). Mark it on your calendar, alright!And this beautiful paper pack by JenLin can be yours!!!

Oh, my poor neglected scrapping blog. I just haven't seemed to catch up on life ever since being on vacation. But I did manage to squeeze in a speed scrap last night (may as well since I was up coughing all night...).

The night before the election I was able to attend the Obama rally. The site backed right up to our neighborhood, so hubby and I walked there. I'm not a huge fan of politics because of all the slander, lying, cheating, immaturity,...but I new this was a history making moment, so I wanted to be there. And I'm glad I was.

Fun Finds

Did you know that Scrap Matters is on Facebook? Are you familiar with Facebook? I must say that it is ALMOST (clearly, I said almost) as addicting as digital scrapbooking! It's kind of fun that I've found friends from high school that I haven't heard from in ages--even my Senior Prom date!

If you belong to Facebook you should mark the page.
ScrapMatters on Facebook
I'll be updating it with all of the challenges, sales, etc...Come check it out!! You can even post layouts there and leave messages on the "wall". HA! I can't believe I'm on Facebook now. I must say, though, that I think I'm more of a blogging girl!

AND did you know that this Saturday is Digital Scrapbooking Day! That day is actually everyday for me, but hey, another reason to celebrate--I'm all for it! Check out Scrap Orchard and Digi Scrap 101 on Saturday for some fun festivities.

Eeekkk...kind of nervous here. Not about doing it...I'm actually all ready, but I have a habit of screwing things up with my computer and well, knowing me, something will happen Thursday night!! Hope you can join me and see what crazy mishaps I can create!!!

Oh, and check out what Bree has created for all who participate! I can't wait to get my hands on those frames! Well, I guess I'll never really touch them, but you know what I mean...
There is also a daytime Speed Scrap on Tuesday, 11 am (central) at Scrap Matters, too. SO much fun!

Shout Out for Erica Zane's New Kit

I just LOVE the direction that Erica has been going with in her designs. Her kits are SO easy to use and her newest "Falling Dusk" is no different.
I did this LO for a challenge at Scrap Matters called Roadmap to Scrap. We're given a list of "direction"--use one b&w photo, use stitches, etc...to help us arrive at our destination (a finished LO)! I love how mine turned out.
And wait till you see Erica's next kit (I think it comes out tomorrow)--so cool!
