I answered a one kit call...and got it!

Oh boy, yesterday was a busy day for me...here on the computer anyway. I didn't realize how much I've not been ON the computer lately, till I had to spend pretty much all day on it, and got stiff from not getting up and down much. Between a problem with my shop & domain e-mail (if you e-mailed me yesterday and haven't heard from me....please try again!), and some other things I had to get done yesterday on the computer, I didn't have time for anything around the house that would get me moving a little. I was hoping to have time to go outside a little in the afternoon, since it was nice out...but that didn't happen.

I did however manage to get these two LO's done!! Hey I had to play a little didn't I? *giggle*

This weekend I was wanting something to do (silly me) besides homework, so went to look at the one kit calls at DST. (For those who don't know, a one kit call is where designers ask for someone to do some layouts with just that one kit of theirs...instead of being on their team and getting to work with all their kits. It gives people a chance to do some layout design work but not be tied down to a team.) I answered a couple, not actually expecting to get them, since there are SO many others out there who scrap prettier pages than I do (in my opinion *giggle*) but guess what....I won the job!! Thursday I'll share a couple pages from another kit I got to play with. Today's Lo's are also from one of those kits. I have to say I'm happy to have been able to play with some new kits and get some of this years photos scrapped!

These LO's show some of the photos I took through the car window on our way home from picking up Mabel. It was so pretty up there in northern Nebraska!!

Kit Credit: Dreamy Island kit by Ikscraps - I enjoyed this kit, the elements are so cool because they are hand painted. I love that painted look, it works for modern photos but would also work just as well for those older photos. :) Ikscrap has a freebie cluster frame to go with the kit on her blog here if you are interested. I had a lot of fun with this kit! Thanks for letting me play with it Ingeborg!! :)

One reason I haven't really thought about doing one kit calls before (besides of course forgetting to go look at them) was because I thought a lot of designers really liked (and wanted) the "fantasy" style of layouts, which I really am NOT good at. Least that's the kind that I see being made the most in these designers teams. However when I sent Ingeborg the links she was pleased to get Layouts that weren't fantasy, to show that the kit can be used for something other than that, so I was pleasantly surprised to learn that my style of LO is still wanted by some...who knew! *giggle* I may have to check out the Calls threads at DST a little more often...if I remember to & think I'll have the time to work with them, because I had fun and it made me get busy and scrap some. :)

Well I gotta run, have several things I want to get finished today, plus hope to go outside some so I better get this posted and get busy! Hope everyones week is going good so far. :)
