Week Two Submission.....Autumn's Whisper

Well, I finished my kit for Week Two of the DigitalScrapGarden competition....voting will start on August 3rd, so remember to go vote! Don't be shy...leave me feedback! The picture is clickable and will take you to vote! Thanks for looking....


OH, and download links to get this kit for free will be available once voting starts!

I need every vote I can get!!!

If you've already visited my Dancing Princess Designs blog, thanks for bearing with me. (And look at it as a reminder to go vote, if you haven't already). For everyone else....

Ok so, FUNNY story. Yesterday I came across this cute little site called Digital Scrap Garden and as I'm wandering through I find this Designer Contest announcement....the only problem is that they'd just started voting on their first round. Well, since the closing date for the first round hadn't come yet, I emailed and asked if they were still accepting participants. They said sure, and so for the next 4 HOURS I worked feverishly to put something together with the color palette provided for round one of the competition. My husband and kids were AWESOME and took over the household while I sequestered myself in my "thinking/doing" space. I finished and am pretty happy with what I was able to LITERALLY throw together. The thing is I NEED YOUR VOTES TO WIN! If you love me (thanks, family who don't give two hoots about digiscrapping), or if you like what I've designed, please PLEASE go and vote for my kit. There will be four rounds, so check back each week, and I'll post the preview of my kit, and the link to go vote (certainly if you like another kit more than mine, FOLLOW your heart...I just won't ever speak to you again LOL). The preview is clickable, and the voting on round one ENDS FRIDAY AUG 1st! My Kit is on the page as j_camargo6 and looks like this....


Thanks for reading my blog and remember....VOTE FOR JENN!!!
P.S. I've posted the link for the kit at Digital Scrap Garden and you can get it for FREE! Just click on the picture above and it will take you there!

Life is CRAZY!!

It's amazing how fast life passes....but that doesn't seem to lessen the insanity of it. We've been doing lots of new things...Mario started a new job last week on Monday. It will be a good thing, but it's always hard starting something new. He's still downtown, so commuting. The kids are having a summer. Unfortunately, we haven't done much, because Mario hasn't been able to take time off, and I'm not about to try to take them anywhere on my own. Well, in my defense, I'm trying to get my courage up to take them to the petting zoo next week.

Sophia competed her two volleyball camps and is looking forward to tryouts, the second week of August. She had a great time at girls camp and is having fun with her friends in the neighborhood.

Alanna vasilates between being excited about Spanish Immersion and fear that it will be too hard. She's growing tall and learning alot....she reads voraciously and if I can't find her...I can count on her being tucked away somewhere reading two or three books.

Isabelle switched roommates....she's now downstairs with Alanna...I'm not sure if this is a good thing yet or not. The intent was that she would hopefully rub off with her neat freak ways on Alanna. Instead there has been an exhibition of roller derby queen behavior. On both of their parts. Not sure how I'm going to deal with that yet.

Elizabeth now shares a room with Gabby. Again, the jury is out on whether or not it was a good move. She is so excited to start Kindergarten in a few weeks. She's reading some and doing some fun math. It will be fun to see how she takes to school.

Gabby is growing and talking like a maniac. She's also fiercely independent. Insists on putting her own seatbelt on, putting her own shoes on, doing everything for herself. Saturday, she wanted a popsicle, and Mario told her no. A while later we went looking for her because she'd disappeared and found her in the kitchen eating a popsicle, cut open at both ends and dripping. The scissors were sitting on the counter (where she had put them after retreaving them from the box ON TOP of the fridge. She'd even put the chair back after using it to climb up there. The girl is TROUBLE with a capitol T!!

Sammie's growing like crazy. She is crawling, and cruising along the furniture, and she's thinking about walking here soon. She flirts and plays with people everywhere we go. She's a fun girl. A smarty too.

Here are some of the LO's I've made since my last post:


This one was for a "Swap" with an online friend...she scrapped my photos and I did hers.

Independence Day!

It was a beautiful 4th! We missed most of our traditional balloon launch (my favorite part of the day, sniff) and then enjoyed a pleasant breakfast with family. It was lovely weather in the morning, and was a beautiful day overall!

This one is a desktop LO I did for the GDS Decorate your Desktop Challenge.

And I love this photo. This was taken at the Balloon Launch July 4th Morning. Gabby's so cute, isn't she!

Anyway, be sure to check out my Dancing Princess Designs link to the right>>>>>!

Here's a few other things I've been up to......

Have a great day!
