Exciting news and 2 SSC challenges...

Exciting news first...The Lollipop Guild has advanced to Round 3...whoo hoo!!! Thank you to all of you who are supporting us! It means so much! I am now approaching severe panic mode...it is my turn and I am really nervous! We have to create a scrapbook layout either 8x8 or 12x12....yikes! I haven't done one in awhile, so I am hoping that I have an immense creative burst ;) I don't have a lot of friends outside of the SSC community who scrapbook, so I am relying on anyone that can help. If it is one thing I have learned through this hobby, it is the enormous amount of support a community can give. So....yep...I have resorted to campaigning....tee hee ;) The fourth round will post on Sunday and voting lasts until Tuesday. I will give a direct link as soon as it is available. Stay tuned....I have always wanted to say that...lol!

I have signed on to design for another group at Simply Scrapping & Crafts (affectionately know as SSC). The Copic Markers Tutorials and challenges. Lisa, a fellow DT cutie, is an amazingly talented teacher. She prepares actual VIDEO TUTORIALS!!!!! So helpful and wonderfully done. If you haven't had a chance to check this group out, please do! There is a lot of information to learn and a ton of fun to be had!!!! Here is a direct link to join the group:
