Well, I made it to the next round in the Ultimate Digi-scapper contest. 
Down to 40 scrappers now and next week they choose the final 7 to compete for the #1 spot. The challenge for this week is: Free Style – get creative and funky – this is all about your personal style and whatever it is should shine through. No rules – just scrap from the heart. Any topic or theme is ok, so get creative!
Now, you’d think that would make things easier cuz we can do anything we want but I actually am somehow more intimidated by this one. It’s so wide open. No guidelines. So what picture to use? What IS my style?! I really haven’t ever settled on a specific style. PLUS there’s not one person in the top 40 who isn’t amazing. Every week these ladies have scrapped something incredible. Not to mention some of the amazing scrappers who didn’t make it through to this next round. That’s pressure right there. I don’t want them looking in the gallery and thinkin’ man I could’ve done so much better than THAT! Sorta like American Idol when a singer gets through for some bizarre reason but they know in their heart the person who got voted off was far more talented. If I figure out what to scrap I’ll post pics here. No earthly idea at the moment. Just happy to have made it to the next round for tonight. :)
I am not worried at all about you advancing to the next round…Your talent is boundless! You’re the one to beat (just keep chanting that in your head, over and over…)

Great job, your journaling was very true to the heart and exactly what the pictures portray too. Through yours and Nina’s pictures our Jacob will always be remembered. I can’t imagine how sad it is for people who do not have the wonderful pictures to remember their little angels by. All of the pictures just bring the love back so strong. Good luck on your next project – I know you will do great! MOM
