My Scrap Nook

Well, I got the email from ARS this morning and...I didn't get a place on the design team. Oh well! Won't lie....somewhat disappointed...but how else do you expect to learn if you don't 'fail' once in a while? I say 'fail' because I don't really see it as a failure but right now I have no other words. LoL I am having a rough day and I think I need some serious crafting tonight to put me in a better mood! I have been working on thinking outside of my creative box and one of my projects is waaaaay outside my box! LoL I cannot wait to post it and get some feedback! For now I will post the two projects I did for the ARS design team application. Hopefully I will have something more tonight or tomorrow. Take care, y'all! Snow Day L/O  --(30 mins) List of Materials: -5 sheets of cardstock  (They should coordinate with colors in your photo. I used Navy Blue, Blue, Dusk Blue, White, and Lime Green)

All right. I have to be honest with you guys. I have gotten very little done lately as I have been absorbing all of the videos from CHA on people's blogs. The products that have come out are just inspiring and fun!!! I am so jealous of all those people who live so close to such wonderful supplies! Me? I live in a tiny town waaaaay up North and my only place to shop is half an aisle in our Walmart. Yup! That's it. Pitiful, huh? But hey! I have managed to do pretty good with what little I have had. And I have even been able to pick up some small things at Michaels when I was in Edmonton for my son's medical tests. There are sooo many things I can't wait to  try! I don't know yet how I will get my hands on them-but I WILL get my hands on them! In the mean time, for some awesome product peeks, check out PaperClipping 's blog. There are so many videos to watch! My FAVORITE product peek over there is Ranger Ink's Dylusions . Dyan Reavely is an AMAZING artist!!! He
