Life by Shannon: We Leave Tomorrow!

Nate's two-week leave kicked off today. Yay! We'll be leaving for Oklahoma tomorrow, please pray that we travel there and back safely. We're going to drive straight through, hopefully our bottoms can handle it! I want to send a huge CONGRATULATIONS to my mom, she finally got a job. Although it's not here in NC, she's still going to be a "real" teacher for the first time since getting her masters and actually being licensed as a "real" teacher. I think it's next week that she has to report for duty. I'm so excited for her!

I'm also currently working for two designers now, and I'm the advertising "director" for both. Basically that means that I make their ads, and go all over digi-scrap land and talk about their wonderful products. For example:

Here is the new kit by Tanyia's Pretty Pixels. It's called Feelin' Fresh and it's so soft and pretty. I love working with this kit, it has so many different kinds of things in it.

Here's my layout Valentine Lilies, made with this kit. It's not the best representation of the kit, but it's alright ;)

And next week, on Friday, Tanyia is releasing a boys' kit that is totally awesome, I can't wait to show everyone!

Maria has blasted into the world of Facebook and taken it by storm! She created these little templates called Chic Flings so anyone can scrap their own piece of flair! (Flair is something we use on Facebook to express ourselves, it's basically a bulletin board full of buttons.)

And here's the flair I made with her template, and her kit called Royal Treatment (except the black paper which is from Tanyia's Wild Child kit).

So I've been busy! I'm also hosting my Oh No You Didn't challenge at Digital Candy right now. No one's played along yet though, I'm starting to feel sad! This round I've asked people to make a layout of their "Scrappy Place." Here's mine:

I tried to make the layout as messy as I make my craft space! Click here to go to the challenge thread.

And here is my most recent layout. I did it for an ad challenge at Digital Candy. Basically I had to base my layout on an ad someone chose for the challenge. I made the glitter swirlies myself, and will hopefully be giving them out soon. :)
