Dirty Scraps CLOSED

All prizes have been mailed out.

Minus one from a store that we are waiting on.

Dirty Scraps is officially closed.

Too many girls have stepped down for it to run.

~Sad news~

*note from Pinky*

I have sad news for all you Dirty Scrappers,

after much consideration and some serious health issues

I have decided that as of 1-1-11 Dirty Scraps will be closing.

This has been the heart of my scrapbooking for so long and a dream

come true on so many levels.

However health and family have always come first for me.

Thanks to everyone who has supported us including amazing sponsors,

scrappers, design team! It was a non-paying gig and you all stepped it up.

If anyone is interested in taking over Dirty Scraps or running it, please contact me directly

Thanks so much, sincerely PINKY

Challenge #20

Moving On Up-

We all have life experiences that define us whether they be good or bad.

Even the bad experiences help us to grow and move on.

This very dirty challenge is to look at that time when you grew a little and

MOVED ON.

I have moved on babay! It's in the past, life lesson learned and I am a better person for it.

It's all about moving on and moving up.

Now go get dirty with it!

Holly:

Journaling reads: As a little girl, I watched my parents take in stray cats. Their idea of respecting an animal was especially confusing to me when I learned that my own kitten had gotten hit by a car and eventually died. I knew then that they were being too liberal with the animals they claim to have cared for. They felt that cats should have the freedom to be outside as they wish. I wish I could say that they learned their lesson and kept their cats inside the house. But as I grew up, I witnessed more and more deaths - mostly from hit and run. My parents blame the drivers - those who hit them and never bothered to stop. Of course I can blame them too, because I think that's such a cold thing to do. But I place most of the blame on my parents. I have a very protective attitude about my pets now that I have two wonderful dogs in my life. My philosophy is simple: if you love them, you'll protect them. I feel that as painful as it has been to have moved on from the heartache, I've learned how to be a responsible pet owner.

Kelly:

journaling:
this was the day i learned how much strength i really had. i had dealt with putting dogs to sleep before, but never have I had to make a decision like that one for onyx. she was healthy and young, but mentally unstable. although she was young at only 5 years old, she had always shown signs of aggresion. it had gotten to the point that we were not safe, nor were grayson or the other dogs. the decision to put her to sleep was not easy, but over time it became clear it was the only option. while we miss her daily, we really had no other options. i have learned to be at peace with my decision, and she will always be in our hearts.

Pinky:

ok here is my link. I am battling a none winning battle with my sons school. my son does not learn like others and he struggles. I called to get a conference with his principal who was supposed to help me and she refused to talk to me and hung the phone up on me. I just am in a speachless frame of mind over this situation.

Do not forget about the BLOG HOP this weekend!!!!!

Paper Wishes Hot off the Press Christmas Splendor

Paper Wishes is our sponsor this month, and they were generous enough to send prizes for our winners this month as well as product for the DT members to work with.
I totally fell in love with the Christmas Splendor line that was sent and had to make something with it the minute I got my hands on it. This is a paper bag mini album that I made using their paper. I actually made TWO identical mini albums with 8 pages total in each book with the paper that was in this pack. The mini album is made out of lunch paper bags. I initially had the brown ones that you get at the grocery store, but when I got this paper I actually bought some red ones at my local hobby store.
Im not going to post the whole album here, there are 16 total pages and a couple of tags that go along with this, but the few that I post will give you an idea of what the album looks like. Enjoy!
