Technology is working against me

My hubby went out of town & needed the digi camera to take photos of some scaffolding he was setting up for a new customer. So he took the camera.

I thought I was planning ahead & have been working on 8-1/2x11 layouts instead of my usual 12x12 so I could scan them to post in gallery for my favorite LOAD challenge on 2 peas. Well I guess my scanner got wind of that & decided not to cooperate!

Technology is great when it works but oh so frustrating when it doesn't.

I got my order Monday from 2peas. It was a blast shopping with my prize money from the "Tell Your Story" contest & the "LOAD" contest. I still have it sitting on the bed in the scrap room to take a photo of it... I don't know if I can resist using it another day though...

Don't forget to place your order at Everything Scrapp'n so you have new My Mind's Eye products for the April competition (see yesterday's post for details)

Scrap Swap

I've cut back on my spending so when I saw a scrap swap over on the 2peas Pub Board I was excited to sign up. Not only is it a surprise to see what someone sends you but it's a challenge too as sometimes you are using products that aren't in your comfort zone to create with.

Here's the layout I created with a beautiful page kit sent to me by Tammie (tammiejean)
The kit was sure not filled with scraps but with full sheets of beautiful papers & even some Jenni Bowlin BROWN bingo cards (that I've been trying to buy but are always out of stock). I can't thank her enough for her generosity & great taste.

What a Great Suprise

I enjoy participating in the LOAD - Layout a Day group on Two Peas in a Bucket.

Everyone is so talented & inspiring. They were so welcoming when I joined & immediately I felt at home.

Last week was the 3rd Anniversary/Birthday Celebration. Lots of former LOAD members stopped by & we all thank DEANNA (a.k.a. scrappin-grandma http://www.twopeasinabucket.com/userprofile.asp?user_id=57636) for all the work she does posting the thread daily, coming up with great questions of the day & being so sweet to all of us.

Deanna gave away a prize to one lucky LOAD participant last week. One entry for each layout posted. The winner would receive a 2 peas Gift Certificate. Who wouldn't want that!

Well I was the winner! I couldn't believe it & was so excited. I received an email from 2 peas saying that a gift certificate had been posted to my account in the amount of $20! Wow Deanna you are so generous, talented, sweet, etc..... THANK YOU SO MUCH!

If you're looking for a fun place to be inspired, encouraged, & uplifted join in the fun. Here's the thread for today.... http://www.twopeasinabucket.com/mb.asp?cmd=display&thread_id=2767030

P.S. Don't feel you can't join if you're afraid of not scrapping every day. We don't crack the whip or hunt you down.... lol. You'll be surprised though how addicting it is & you will post more than you think.
