It's a Sketchy Challenge!

Oh yeahhhhhh!!!!!!  Canadian Scrapbooker Magazine has introduced a sketch challenge!  The gallery will be up and running shortly (even people who hold websites together need to take a holiday now and then) so you can share your creation with everyone, and get inspired by everyone else.  The first sketch was created by Guest Designer Jill Sarginson and you have until the end of the month to send your layout to the online gallery.  Anybody, from anywhere in the world!  And even better, if you use product from at least one Canadian scrapbook manufacturer, your layout could be chosen for publication in the magazine.  See more details here on where to send your layout etc.

I know what I am doing today!  How about you?

And I have a few other fun things to tell you about.  Have you ever wanted to be a part of a design team?  Magenta is looking to add to their team and if you would like to apply, you can find the details on their blog.

Also, I have a great new blog to tell you about.  The stamp-gifted Cathie Allan has begun to blog!!!  I have her listed in the blog list to the side, or you can just follow this link to tour some wonderful stamp goodness and 'Creative Whispers'.

On a personal note, I am nearly finished with this school year.  I have to say that I was so nervous about stepping back into work with the school system.  It has been years since I have had to apply those skills and was so worried that I would have forgotten everything I knew, or no longer have the patience required.  I went through my performance appraisal today, and it seems that they like me!!!!  Whew!!!  What a sense of relief.  While I don't have a position lined up for the fall yet (my contract this year was tied to the needs of several specific students), I am so relieved to hear that they would take me back in a heartbeat.  Please cross your fingers for me that there is another opportunity in the fall...
