1 hour layout contest

DD and I recently participated in Creative Scrappers October 1 Hour Layout Contest. They put off one of these contests each month and they are a blast! DD has watched me participate in the past and this time she decided to give it a try too. I was thrilled! It was mad scramble time at our house during that hour but what fun! You can check out all the creations from that night here.

Here's what I did:



And here's what DD did:



I absolutely love her layout! She caught that frog just half an hour before the contest started and decided she wanted to take a picture of it to use for the contest. She took the picture herself! I helped her come up with the title and I love the layout! She's so talented and creative!

One Hour Sketch Contest!

If you have never participated in a one hour sketch contest, you don't know what you're missing! They are so much fun! I was introduced to them recently at Creative Scrappers. They have one every once in a while.

Here's how it works. The moderator posts a sketch to the One Hour Sketch Contest thread in the forum and you have one hour and 15 minutes to create a layout inspired by the sketch and to post it to the gallery. It is wicked fun!

Wanna give it a try? Check in at Creative Scrappers Monday August 25 9pm est. Actually, check in at Creative Scrappers before then so that you can be sure you're all set up and ready to participate.

Unfortunately it's very doubtful that I'll be able to play this time around because our life is a little up in the air right now. DH is on his way to be with his family as his dad is not doing so well so I'm kind of expecting that I won't be home to play. I'd be playing if I could because it is so much fun! Give it a try, and don't forget to thank me after. ;)
