Not much going on here in PA

Typical PA weather has forced Andrew and I to delay our Couch to 5k program. It was so bitter cold last week and pouring cats and dogs that we were unable to get past week 1, day 1. So, like the program recommends we started again this week. Tonight we ran week 1, day 1 again. It was strange because we only did on day last week (exactly a week ago) and it seemed easier tonight. So, one day down, 2 more to go this week. I'm stoked! I've been swim suit shopping and want to pick out one to actually buy this summer. I haven't had a new swim suit in 14 years. *and it's not like the one I have looks good or anything, I just dreaded buying a new suit.** That's one of my goals I set for myself for 2008. I didn't set resolutions but goals that I want to accomplish this year. But that's another posting!
One the scrapping front, I was able to get 2 layouts completed this weekend for the ADSR. Here are my LOs for challenge #7 and #8. Both were very challenging for me.
Challenge #7 at Elemental Scraps had us playing a numbers crunch.
Team Member #1 (ME!)- ONE DESIGNER - MESSY - No JournalingUsing the correct number of items as listed below, you must scrap using only ONE designers products. Pick your designer carefully and make sure they have all of the things listed on the list below, remember only ONE designer. (this does not include the use of drop shadow actions but does include the use of templates, mattes, shape files etc.) Once you choose your ONE designer you will be required to scrap in a Hodge Podge style, a little artsy and messy. No Journaling, ONLY TITLE WORK.Use the following items: (Please remember this layout requires all pieces to be from the same designer)1 - paper (only ONE paper, no other paper for mattes page borders, nothing)2 - ribbons3 - buttons4 - glitter/gems/sequins or bling pieces5 - frames6 - pictures7 - alphas (different but from the same designer unless created by you, we made an exception to this but alphas cannot be made of paper.)8 - flowers/stars/cardboard pieces9 - staples 10 - random elements of choice (all by the same designer, no more no less)
Here's my LO - I used the awesome Vickie Fernandez - designer at the DigiScrapShak:

Challenge #7 was hosted at NDISB:
Scrap about your most memorable vacation or trip.

1) Use only B&W Photo(s)

2) Do not use any travel themed elements or papers (i.e planes, trains or automobiles, postcards, etc.)

3) Use only ONE word as your title

4) You must incorporate the lyrics to some song in your journaling somehow. You don't have to include the whole song, just a line or even a few words. Just let us know what song it is in your credits.

Well, I'm off to the shower and then to bed. Night!!!
