Scrapbooking Fun - NOT!

I like to do scrapbooking challenges and from time to time I like to visit other websites where I can use other designers kits to make my pages. I do this just for fun (no pressure from CT work) and I get pages done for my children's albums that I wouldn't have done otherwise. Scrapbooking should be fun not frustrating.

Being frustrated is not my idea of having fun. I have been a member over at After Five Designs since January 2009 and have participated in their challenges each month and have enjoyed them. However, for the past 2 months I have had some issues with my layouts. In December, two of my layouts were deleted from their gallery and I got an e-mail saying they were inappropriate! I couldn't figure out why my layouts were inappropriate. Finally someone got back to me saying that I used retired designers from their sight. Now, the correct way would have been telling me that originally when they deleted my layout. So I didn't have to track down why my layouts were INAPPROPRIATE!

In January, I did the color challenge. Here are the colors I had to use
What colors do you see? I see ORANGE, PINK, GREEN AND BROWN.

Here is my layout:

I got a PM regarding my layout: "I see you play the "Flavor of the Month" and make a little mistake... so i want to give you the chance to change it.
Because You should work with all this Colors: Brown, Green, Yellow and Orange and you must have all this colors in your Layout. So i think you want the points... so i want to tell you that you can get it and the chance have to change it. Sorry for it. But this are the Rules

WHAT? Where is the YELLOW in the swatch! Please someone tell me? This is so frustrating!

I think I may boycott After Five Designs because I don't need this frustration in my life!

SDD - Free with $10 Purchase

Crazy for Love can be yours free with a $10 Purchase at Scrappity-Doo-Dah.

I read many many blogs. I came across a tutorial on how to make Silhouette's using Photoshop. Of course, I had to try it as I thought it was really cool. Anyway, I made these silhouettes of my children the other day. I used them in my layout below using Crazy For Love FWP Collab above.

SDD - February Mega

It's February. Check out the amazing February Chickadee Mega Grab Bag.
