What's for lunch?

How about dirt?

And just to prove how anal I am about things that don't matter one bit.........

Yeah, it's the same pictures. I can't decide which I like better. Of course I have a list of pros and cons for each.

Like I said, I'm anal in the most useless way.


And here's the other side of the page:

Birthday


Yes, this is the second page I've started and finished today!! I knew this digis-scrapping would be fast once I got the hang of photoshop!!!

For this page I used the "The Willows" (again) by AmyElkins. Template is the same I used for the wedding...it's by Kristie at Scrap Matters and you can see her layouts here. Yeah, she's an inspiration for me.

Aquarium

Paper from Simply Sarah. But the pictures, oh yeah- I took them. The stingray was Bryce's favorite. And can you tell what I did with the pic of the three boys? Let me know what you think. I'm a big girl, I can handle criticism.....

Drop shadows

I just finished a tutorial on how to make realistic drop shadows. I have two great pages to show for it, but can't post them until the kit I used goes on sale in a week or two! I can't wait to show you!

I guess we'll have lunch and do laundry now......

Re-do



I'm not a big fan of one page layouts, but I guess sometimes you just gotta give in. This is another racketty scrappety template. I used a free kit from Lisa Walstad called, "Boys will be Boys". I'm much happier with this one than the first bath one I did.

First in the Christmas Series


Template from Racketty Scrappety.
Papers and embellishemnts from Shabby Princess "Seasonal Sampler Holiday 2006" and "Holiday Samper- Christmas" free kits.

Lots of great templates

At Racketty Scrappety and they are free!! This layout is her #27. I used "The Willows" by Amy Elkins which was only like $4.00 and came with a ton of paper and embellishments.

I'll be working off templates for a while now.

This one took too much time. But it's done and I'm happy with it. Dh said, "It's good that you kept the pictures small, because there's a lot of really bad ones." Thanks dear, but I can't control that... and I wanted to use them because they aren't perfect-- they are us.

5K in 2006


This one has taken a loooooonnng time. But I've learned several new things so I guess it's alright. I'm pretty happy with it even though I'm afraid to do the right side, it will take sooo long!!! But I've got to get it done sometime, right? It may be difficult to read the journaling, but I print the pages as 12x12 so it'll be easy to read at that size. The papers and embellishements are from another free kit I found. This one is called "Express Yourself" by R.Penner (?) at Scrapadelic Designs.

I'm working back and forth between the PC and the laptop so I've got a few half-way done pages that I should finish soon.

I told you I'd do this.

So now I officially have a place to put my shameless showoffs. *sticking my tongue out at you*

I thought about moving all my posts from the other page to here, but then I realized that was time I could use to make new pages. No-brainer.
