Gettin' Hyped

CKC Buffalo is 2 weeks away...and I've been trying to get my mojo up (and my photos printed) in preparation! Here's some Mother's Day cards:



On the downside, KC has been down again this week as they fix up a few more thingies...but on the bright side it has forced me to use a little more time for actual scrapping. I finished my Designer Original which I hope to post soon...the homepage and gallery are up but so far the forums are still down. In the meantime here's a sneak peek:



Other than that I've been working on pages for the Book Of KC Spirits Swap, which I have basically finished. They come in 4 colours. I may yet add more to them, perhaps at least the date, but I do want to keep them pretty simple. 6 X 6 fills up fast.



Now for some exciting news...I'm going to be in Canadian Scrapbooker again!!! I just submitted 4 pages for the winter call, and suddenly I get an e-mail asking for one of the pages I submitted for the fall call! Since it's part of the copyright agreement to remove it from my online galleries, I can't show you the specific one, but if you can remember, it's the one with all the shoes.



Now here's something to think about. I send them pages for every call they put out, mostly the layouts I like the best, which often are the ones I put the most time, effort and product into. Out of all those, only two have been chosen. Though quite distinct from one another, both could be described as simple, and neither use a lot of brand name product--in fact, neither use much more than multicoloured cardstock. I wonder if there's something to be learned from this?
