A Sad Day in Digi Land

For those of you who have not heard, My Digital Muse will be closing it's doors on November 1st. Hollly has made the difficult decision to focus on her photography and retire from digital scrapbooking.

While I will miss the community at MDM, I am glad Holly is making this decision for herself. I am also glad that MDM will not be continuing without her. I just don't think it would be the same.

I definitely had lot of fun on the team as one of the original CT members. It was my very first CT and I think I grew as an artist and gained more confidence in my abilities. It was also fun hosting the photography challenge. If you haven't seen this month's you still have some time to enter and win a GC to spend on all the bargains appearing in the store over the next few weeks. Click here for details. I don't think I'll do one next month so get in while you can. :)

October should be a fun month on the site with lots of specials and goodies to go around. Make sure you drop by and bid us farewell.

Work continues on my other CTs. I have been on a little bit of a scrapping slump lately and took a rest for a few days. The good news is that I think some of my mojo has returned - just in time for the first Stand up and Scrap challenge. It's a tough one but I have some ideas brewing. I have no illusions about winning the competition with more than 500 participants, but I will definitely have fun and learn something in the process.

Here's a couple of layouts I completed this week. I have another that I can show tomorrow with Dani's gorgeous new kit. I will also be posting over on the Girl Talk blog tomorrow so make sure you check it out.

This first LO is for the challenge on Nancy's blog this week. It uses a whole buch of photos I thought I had lost in the CF card disaster so the $40 recovery was definitely worth it - especially if I happen to win the challenge. :) Of course I haven't won one yet, but you never know... Whether I win or not, I have managed to create some great pages thanks to the challenge prompts. I don't usually use much yellow in my pages but I love this one. So much fun.

This one is for the current challenge with Jen Wilson's new line. A little more feminine than usual.

Oh, and one of my LOs is being lifted over at JW this week. I won a $5 GC for the honor. Just in time to purchase some of the new goodies. :) I love being lifted. It's so much fun to see what others do with my basic design. Some of the Lifts with a Twist pages are amazing!

Thanks for stopping by. Have a great day and... don't forget my challenge. :)
