I can relax now

I didn't make it through to Round 4 and I'm kinda glad. Now I can relax and get things back to normal a little around here. I'm glad that I didn't get through because there were so many fantastic layouts in Round 3 that really should have gone on but didn't, and I would have hated to go through when they didn't. And although I thought I did a good job with the journalling, my layout wasn't really anything to write home about - it missed a little zing. I'm so pleased that I got to try these challenges though, and the adrenalin rush of getting the layouts done and uploaded and going online in my lunchbreak to see the results couldn't be beat.

I think I need another challenge (but don't tell Gary though) LOL

I was just over at another website and reading one of her posts really got me thinking. I think one of my biggest fears is that I really don't know the rules around this digiscrapping thing. I'm just realising that there are things going on in the background that I don't know about and I don't understand, 'cos I'm not in the loop. I feel kinda sad that I don't have a buddy or two that I can talk things through with who can just say things like "don't be stupid,that's not what it seems, it's because ...... ". Like this whole design team thing - I applied for a couple because I love the challenge of having a new kit and seeing what I can do with it. And I missed out, which would be OK in itself, because I don't claim to be an expert in this scrapping thing at all, but I get disappointed when those that are chosen for the design team are not creating layouts that are any different to mine. I'm sure I'm missing something here, and it makes me a little sad that I don't know what it is.
