Pixiemam Challenge Extended!

Good news! The one year anniversary blog hop for Pixiemama Designs has been extended to give you more time to get your entries in. They are now due by Thursday at midnight (M.S.T.), for my challenge.

Pixiemama Challenge

Hi, and welcome to the Pixiemama Blog Hop! You have probably arrived from JayaPrem's Hangout, but if you get lost along the way, you can find the beginning at Pixiemama's Designs.

I am hosting the Word Challenge. The rules are that you must use the words "One", "Happy", or "Birthday" in your layout. Only one word can be used in either title or journaling, and it must be visible. Twist: you can only use your word ONCE! For example if you choose the word Happy you can't use any of the other two words and you can only use Happy once in your layout.

Enter to win by leaving a link to your layout in the comments, and please be sure to provide a valid email so we can contact you with your prize. The winner will receive a $5 gift certificate to Pixiemama's store at Scrappity Doo-Dah (PU products only). Winner will be chosen on Sunday night.

It's not required to use Pixiemama's products for your entry, but make sure you check out her store in case you see something you do want to use!

Next stop is Missy Moments!

Remember, we are all in different time zones, so don't panic if something it not up right away!

I did a page last night when I saw that Julie. It is. had a new kit out called Well Worn. I found these photos from our visit to the museum on Sanibel, not this past trip, but from two years ago.

I also got the good news this week that Sugar Pie Scraps is getting a new store, opening soon! I have one page done with one of her templates, and hope to get some more done soon.

Marni Designs release is coming on Monday instead of today.

I am participating in a blog hop to celebrate Pixiemama's one year design anniversary. Come back tomorrow morning for a challenge and a chance to win a gift certificate to her store!

What a long day! I hope to work on a page tonight, but I may wait until tomorrow when I am feeling more alert! I will post my layouts from the Geek Chic release, although I have not put them in any galleries yet due to not being home much today! The Marni Designs release was delayed until Friday.

This is the layout using the April grab bag:


This is from Baby Lily. I used one of the templates that comes with the kit. I was happy to make it work for a boy!

Geek Chic has a new kit coming out tomorrow, and also an April grab bag that has some great stuff in it. I have worked with both kits, so I will get to post my layouts tomorrow! These will be available at Polka Dot Plum.

Marni Designs also has a new kit coming out tomorrow. I don't have a preview, but it's very cute!

Revised to say that I received some disapointing news regarding some of my CT's that I will no longer be on due to the store/forum probably closing. I don't really know all the details, but accusations are made and I would rather just stay out of it all since it doesn't involve me personally!

Back!

Well, even though I was home for a couple days in between trips, it really does feel like I've been gone for the last two week. It was a lot of fun, but I am also happy to be back home, getting back to our normal routine. It was fun spending the week being spoiled by my mom, and of course, the kids love spending time with their Nana. I got a lot of great photos, so of course, I am looking forward to getting back to scrapping. I did manage to complete a few pages this week from Arizona, but I can't post them quite yet!

I ended up renting a movie one night in AZ, which was Paranormal Activity. We got Shorts for the kids to watch, and they thought it was really funny. For some reason, it looked really low budget to me, but maybe it's because the t.v. was old!
