New Year and New Scrapping Goals!

Hello and welcome to 2009! I decided this year that I would branch out a bit, get out of my comfy spot, and find some new places to make friends, learn, and gain some creative inspiration. I found a couple new spots of which I have enjoyed thus far. There is so much out there! Scrap Whispers has been a great challenge site. They have a bi monthly scraplift team challenge that i am trying and weekly challenges for some cool prizes! This week's challenge was a new year's resolution type theme and this is what I came up with:

Then there is so much going on at Serendipity Scrapbooks that I cannot even keep up one iota! There is a monthly challenge thread as well as a Winter Sketchfest going on. In addition, they are doing a DT call!!! Here are some of the things I have done for that site this month: Every month Paper Popsicles has their monthly sketch and theme challenges as well and the prizes are AWESOME! This month theme is about FIRSTS. Here is a layout for one of those sketch challenges:I have been anxiously awaiting Cardalicious to get their card challenges back up following the holidays. In the meantime, I found a new sketch blog that it starting by Dawn. Dawn has amazing creativity and her work can be found here. Her new sketch blog is called Inspirational Card Sketches
and she is having a DT call for this site right now. Here is the sketch she has provided for this call: These are two samples that I create: Whew! As you can see, I have my mojo ON ON ON!!! TFL!!!
