This & That: DSD

DSD Recap

In the last three days I have gone on 8 blog hops, made 12 layouts, attended 4 chats, and "acquired" about a dozen new goodies! I can't wait to get scrapping with all of my new supplies... after I organize them!

I dabbled in quite a few different forums this weekend but my favorite was Scrap Orchard. I participated in all of their DSD fun, the facebook/blog hop, chats, games, freebie hunts, and layout challenges. I was highly motivated by the Oh Snap! collection their talented designers were giving away as freebies and participation prizes.

I have to admit it was a bit tough finding the time to get all of this done and I am definitely feeling a bit burned out. You might even notice that one of my layouts is very similar to something I've posted in the past - I was running out of ideas, lol! Here are the layouts I made:

Hat of Bunny released a special Grab Bag for DSD called Pops of Color, it was designed with rainbow layouts in mind.! The preview image will take you directly to Grace’s store where you can purchase Pops of Color for an amazing limited time deal of $5!

I used Pops of Color to make this layout:
