Some exciting news.....

This world of scrapping and stamping is a crazy competitive one. I know this! I just tend to stay away from that side of things. I have never tried out for a Design Team position or to get my work published. There are a few reasons for this....

First, I scrap for me and my family. I do what I like and feels right for me. I don't keep up on all the latest trends & crazes. I just do my thing and if other people like it then that is an added bonus.

Second, I am not sure I am creative enough. This isn't meant in a self-deprecating way. This is just my reality. I am not a very artsy person. I scrap from my heart and try not to get caught up in how others will feel about it. In fact, I think a lot of the time my layouts start to look similar since I am very clean & linear in my style.

And last but not least, I am not sure I am prepared to deal with all the rejection. Like I said, I know it is a very competitive thing and my little ego bruises easily.

So, all of this is the reason I tend to keep to my own little scrappy world!! If I stay in my comfort-zone life will be cool!!

That being said, I am incredibly happy and proud to announce that I have been given a Guest Design Team position for the month of December!! Where you ask?? Well, only at my most favourite scrappy place - Scrapping Turtle!!! I thank you ladies for giving me a shot and liking my stuff enough to do so. I am honoured!! I am also in fabulous company! Check out their message board for a peak at the work of the rest of the incredibly talented and fabulous Design Team!!

And now without further adieu....here is my sneak peak for the month. I got to play with the fabulous White Out Christmas line from We R Memory Keepers which prompted me to scrap some of Maya's Christmas pictures. Maybe I will get caught up just in time to take new pictures this year.

The rest of the reveal is on December 15th!!
