Dinah Maningat - Enjoy The Ride
Journaling: The last few weeks have been crazy - good crazy, that is. Joining the Scrappin' Moms Idol 2 Challenge has been a roller coaster ride. Now we're on the last round before the challenge finals and I'm still in it. Good thing I love roller coasters.

I have done some "un-me" things while going through the challenges. Since this started, I did my work/business from home on most days (like 4 days in a 5-day workweek!). I also learned to take pictures of myself! I used to make fun of a friend whom I caught taking his own photo a long time ago. Boy, if he could see me now! I'm sure he'd be proud of me! Haha! And then I learned to wear my glasses. I so hate wearing them! I'd rather be squinting than wearing them. But for this challenge I did so lest all my layouts would be uneven (or shall I say "asymmetric"?).

So do I want to be the next Scrappin' Moms Idol? You bet! And why do I deserve it? I say, "why not?". Of course it's not for me to decide. All I can do is give my best. But one thing's for sure. I do hope that the coaster car will stop for me again so I can enjoy the ride in the final round. Like I said, I love roller coasters.

Materials:
Bazzill & DCWV cardstock, Chatterbox paper, Making Memories Journal Sheet, QNC felt fusion, Heidi Swapp plastic alphabets, Heidi Grace plastic embellishments, Dress It Up flowers & flower center, American Crafts, Fancy Pants, Autumn Leaves & Heather Bailey rubons, Misc bling & buttons

6 Colors: Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, & Beige.

6 Materials: Papers, rubons, plastic emb, felt, stamps, & ink

I first decided what colors to use before deciding on the materials. After choosing, I checked my stash to see which materials matched my colors. Most of the materials I used only once or twice. I didn't want to go for too much dimension so I chose to use more rubons because they are flat. I placed them on all sides of the page to serve as borders. I also chose to use more plastic for the "use 1 material 6 times" requirement because it's something I don't use much of (except for buttons). To me plastic materials don't give too much dimension but when everything else in the page is flat, plastic embellishments pop.

Used 6 times: Plastic - HS plastic alpha, Heide Grace plastic flower emb, Dress It Up flower, Dress It Up flower center, Misc buttons, Misc acrylic bling.

Used more than 6 times: Rubons - Fancy Pants flowers & labels, American Crafts borders, Altumn Leaves "Having Fun", Heather Bailey freshcut rubons

LOVE this, Dinah! And yes, your roller coaster ride will probably not end here, nor will it also end with the Finals. I'm sure that with such talent under your belt, many more exciting things will come your way!
