TOOT TIME!!!

I went to visit my grandson and my family for the first two weeks of March and what a wild time it was! I arrived on a Friday and by the end of the weekend I was super sick. Monday afternoon I was in the emergency clinic getting lots of meds and spent the next 3 days sleeping, waking up coughing, taking meds and eating, then sleeping again. So much for visiting! I finally started feeling better which was good cuz I needed to make Noah's birthday cake for him like I'd promised! It turned out GREAT and I was really glad I'd made it on Friday so I could visit Saturday. Unfortunately things didn't turn out well that day either since a turkey decided to fly down and hit a vehicle on I-95 just outside of Washington DC which caused the driver behind that vehicle to panic and slam on the brakes which caused a 3 car accident. My daughter and her two sons were in the third car!!!! It was a pretty serious accident but they are all okay. She had a minor injury, the airbags made them all cough a lot for the next few days and the car is totaled. Needless to say that caused a lot of other plan changes for the rest of my vacation! So all in all I rode on two planes, a train and several automobiles plus visited the emergency clinic twice and coughed the entire time all during a two week vacation! YIKES! So a bit of good news was quite welcome when I read my emails!
First email was from My Scraps & More informing me that I'd made the design team there! Tammi Bennett is the owner and let me tell you that her store has some AWESOME papers and embellishments and her customer service is THE BEST! Place your order today and it will be in the mail either that day or the next! She's got something on sale almost all the time and her product is quite current! Be sure to check out the store! And the My Scraps & More forum is a happening place with challenges, games and lots of fun times! It's very exciting to be a part of this new team! Here's the link to the announcement to see who else made the team with me!
Here's the layout I created using Tammi's sketch for the tryouts -

The patterned papers and brads are all from the My Scraps & More store! The picture is my husband Steve and I at my brother's wedding last April.

The other email was from Lucy Chesna at My Sketch World. I've been a member there since February 2009 and I've been on the design team most of that time as well. She asked me to return as the One Hour Sketch Challenge Coordinator and of course I accepted gladly! I LOVE hosting the OHSCs and look forward to our first one April 21st at 9 PM Eastern time. If you love a great place to hang out, love being supported and love a great sketch then My Sketch World is the place to be! Here's the link to see the announcement about the other awesome ladies who made the MSW Design Teams!
So while my vacation was chaotic and crazy but fun, it was wonderful to know that I'd come home to lots of scrappy fun! I had also been asked by the Just Imagine/Kreaxions company to return to their design team as well! (I used the hearts punch Kreaxions Punch #917 for the corners on this page.) There's a FABULOUS new team this term and I'm really enjoying what the ladies have been posting on the blog already!
I'm gonna be quite busy with three design team assignments, but I can't WAIT because I love all three companies and I can't wait to share all their amazing products! So keep checking back to see what wonderfully fun projects I've created and be sure to check out all three sites! I've listed the design team members' blog links to all three teams so be sure to check them out as well! I promise you won't be disappointed in any of the forums or blogs!
Happy Scrapping and Happy Punching!
