The Scrapbook Nook Going back to School

I decided to join in the fun over at the Nook as they are having a contest.  Nook U Back to Scrappin' has inspired me to do a bit of scrappin' for myself.  Here are a few for this week.  Go on over and check everyones' homework out, there are so many great layouts there....I have had so much fun with the challenges...

Canadian Scrapbooker

New edition is on the shelf, Sept 1.  I was asked to do SWAK again this time around with Adorn IT products.  It was fun and I have three cards in the section using the products, check out this section of the magazine for 6 other great cards as well!  The mag is stuffed full of great art as well.  Check out the article written by Sue Sykes on For the Love of Pink, it is really inspirational!

A few to catch up!

Here is one I did with a bunch of flowers, prima and some porcelain ones.  My niece at dance.  Also one of me being silly or cheesy, DH told me to pose on my scrapbook desk since it was all nice and clean....so I did, it is a rare sighting of me in a layout! I used some old cheese labels I found on this blog , Just Something I Made.  Go over and check them out!

No luck..

Well last post I was hoping that I would get on the Nook team...no luck though...oh well I will keep trying.  I love that site as there are so many great scrapbookers there. Here are a few items I have done recently.  This is a picture of a frame that I did with a vacation photo.  The bottom one is of my niece sleeping on a big duvet.  I used some old Chatterbox for this one....I have a few more to share maybe tomorrow.

Can you say EXCITED???

Well I am, I made the short list for a DT position over at My Scrapbook Nook.  The talent there is so wonderful I am just happy to be in the presence of greatness!!! I would love to be on the DT even if it was only for a day....if you really love scrapbooking go over and check out the gallery, make sure you are sitting down though....or you may hurt yourself....everyday there is something great and inspiring in the gallery....

Just messin' around...

Here is a layout I did yesterday...my printer is acting up and I printed out many a photo to get it right, so I decided not to waist them!  Hope all is well with everyone.  Off to my scrappy room to work on a special assignment. 

Another few found....

Slowly catching up.  Here is one paying tribute to chocolate...YUM!  Just teasin' today....more to come tomorrow!

Finding Stuff

I have been finding stuff the I have not posted yet, I think these were from NSD day!  I will have a few more to post this week as well...just have to find some time...bye for now J

NVS Envious Challenge!

This is the first time I have played along at the NVS blog.  Challenge is to take this collage below and interpret it into your own design.

When I saw the inspiration I knew what I was going to do.  I used the colours pink and teal, the cupcakes, the swirls, a girly girl and the printed background into my layout.  Funny thing is that the paper back ground in mine is based around love, so appropriate for loving cupcakes!

Here is my submission. 

Come play along, check out my link down the side of my blog and become a follower as well.  Enjoy the day see you again soon with some more layouts. 

I am back? and a winner!

Well I have been having issues with blogger lately and having a hard time posting.  So here I am trying again. 



Well hoping this works, the winner of the RAK is MERC! Please email me at www.scrappyinbrooklin@rogers.com and I will ship off you winnings!

Thanks everyone for participation..looks like it is acting up again...and this is all I am going to get to write....how painfull is this......have fun everyone!
