How was your weekend?

So how was your weekend? Did you lay back or do lots of stuff? Did you get to scrap? Mine was pretty low key. I spent a lot of time at SBB for their 5th birthday celebration. They held several chats and challenges over the weekend, giving out prizes and goodies. I'll show you more of that in a bit.



Guess what! I got a guest spot for Feb. & March with Kiki Halbert's CT. I'm so excited about that. I've gotten a few of her kits from RAK's and am looking forward to working with some of her designs. I've browsed her stores and don't know where to start, there are so many great items. So look for some of her designs here soon!





I was chatting with Cate on Hello on Friday night and she was showing me her newest layouts with blending. I love how she does it, especially with landscape & nature shots. So I sent her a few of my pictures from my trip to Florida and look what she did for me. Isn't it gorgeous!!! I need to see if she's put it on her blog yet so I can link the credits.

I'm still playing with blending. Hopefully I'll have something to show you soon.



Here are my layouts for some of the challenges from SBB this weekend. The one above I combined 3 challenges into 1 layout; quote, 5 items (were given) and 5 designers.

Don't forget about the Now & Then challenge over at Heather's CT blog. And watch for a new one from yours truly on Friday. Also I need to go and work on my new blog. I've been slacking this weekend and not getting things together, but I really just wanted the person putting it together for me to spend the weekend with her DH and DS's. :) I'll be by to read blogs after I get off work.
