Well, I didn't make it to round 3 of the tournament, but I really was not surprised.  I struggled with the challenge #2 and really was not happy with my layout.  Of course I came up with ideas too late .... it is all good though, I am still going to play along and do the challenges, they have set up an area where we can upload our layouts, for those of us that have already been voted off the island :)   There are 3 Canucks left in the scrapbooking category and 1 left in the card category.  These women are so talented!  I am lucky enough to know Dawn, who is the sole competitor in the card category and she is so amazingly talented, I want to be her when I grow up ;)  heehee 

I have to admit Challenge #3 would have kept me up at night lol.  It is all about doodling ... I have NEVER doodled on a layout!!

Entering the scrapbook tournament was huge for me.  I have never done anything like that before and it was a hard step for me to take, I am pretty critical of my projects.  I am so glad I entered and making it to round #2 was such a confidence boost :)

Have a few projects on the go, making something special for my full time daycare kidlets :)  Need to get cracking on them :)  Will post pictures as soon as I get them going :)
