SOME FUN LAYOUTS TO SHARE

Happy Friday all!! WHEW!! I have to say, this week has been a doozy!!! First and foremost, I want to share some big news: I GOT THE JOB!!!! For those of you who have been following me for awhile, you know that I have been interviewing over the last few months for a major position as Chico State University - well, I got the call and I will start on the 15th of June!!!! WHOOOOHOOOO !!! I am REALLY excited - I will be the Director of Human Resources (it has some other fancy title but that is what it is) for the university so I will be quite busy!! So, I have been spending the last couple of days filling out paperwork, answering hiring kinds of questions, and dancing around the house like a fool, lol!!!! That is the reason I have not been as visible on your blogs, but I promise I will make it up to you today *wink* I obviously will have to find some balance because there is NO WAY I am giving up my stamping, but I am sure it will take me some time to figure it all out!!! I will though, that I promise!!! And now, on to why you actually came to see me today - my scrapbook layouts! These are actually the layouts for my monthly scrap club and were made using the Love Stories Simply Scrappin' kit. Remember when I told you I was trying to see how many projects I could get out of one kit??? Well, these were made out of the same original kit AND I STILL have leftovers!!! Here is the second page of our scrap night.....I actually designed these layouts for something else and then ended up using them for my club night and I am glad I did because they really liked them! Now, I have some other news to share: we are ONE WEEK away from our debut challenge at ScrapandStampSaturday and so to get us all ready, we are spotlighting our Design Team members over at the site, sharing some information about them as well as displaying some of their fabulous layouts utilizing stamps and scrapping!! So, please head over there and leave these ladies some love, they are all wonderful and I just know you are going to love what they you see from them in all the challenges ahead!! And, if you are still with me after this uber long post, then MWAH to you!!!!! Heehee, I will leave you with this: have an absolutely fabulous weekend!!!!
