I CANNOT remember the last time...

A DT project stressed me out so badly...well that's not true...September 2006 kit stressed me out-because IT was ugly. This kit is far from ugly. It's actually gorgeous. But I am stressed way beyond stressed trying to finish up this "project". Isn't scrapping supposed to be FUN? Hmmm-I thought so...was I mistaken???? sigh....I got it done...Am I happy with it? I suppose.

Maybe I am just let down after the fabulous kit we got THIS month? I mean it's hard to top the kit we received in August. I dont' think they COULD!!!!! I love it...love it all...and am almost afraid to use it up. LOL>....Here's my DT projects from August...

This first LO is pretty simple. We got an awesome template in the August kit that allows you to make scalloped circles, scallope squares plus a few other fancy designs. I think it's my absolute favorite template EVER! I've used it quite a bit already!!!!! OH..the technique for August is the Ka-Jinker. Just follow that link and the lady there will explain it much better than I can. BUT just note...you do NOT have to use her gems...this thing works on Primas, chipboard, and anything else with a large enough hole.




this is a LO of Seth enjoying a popsicle. Can you see why this is a fave kit yet??? LOVE everything about it.




Here I again used this month's template for the scalloped square.

These layouts are really awesome, Im sure you're loving that kit :) And I am also totally confident your September creations are going to be excellent as well...you are being hard on yourself and the kit ;) but I agree August is pretty neat :)

I'm drooling, you silly woman! It's really REALLY awesome, love those LOs! I really enjoyed being a design team member for a year, but I really am soooo done with that! I was way too stressed, and sometimes working with stuff that I just didn't really like!
But in your case, I think you're beeing harsh on yourself, becase those LOs are gorgeous!

Poor poor Tara. Send your project over my way and I can see if I can be of help :D And I think EVERYONE agrees on September 06 kit - talk about yuck, and of course, I ordered everything! But seriously, I will more than willing to take a look at your DT projects and give you some praise, tips, suggestions - ANYTHING! Hehehe ;-)

Tara, why you stress is beyond me. You always come up with gorgeous creations. You are way too hard on yourself girl. Relax. As I've told you numerous times...

YOU ROCK!
