Old Pics.

I got a lot of scanning done today and just had to use some of the photos. I also used a paper template to make the paper. Very fun. I cut out the part of my Mom's handwriting with the pictures where it existed. I want to do quite a bit of journaling on this page but I need to write it first and run it by my Mom to get the facts straight.

I've always said...

that I hate my picture but I actually like this one. I wish I could remember more about this when and where the picture was taken. I know that the shirt was one of my favorites during my senior year so that dates the photo a bit.

I'm REALLY Inspired

I went to my Mom's house and glommed (is it a word, if it is how do you spell it - I'll worry about that later) onto gobs of family pictures. I'm madly scanning and will have a great wealth of photos to choose from very soon! Here are pictures of me, my sister, and my niece. They'll be making their debut soon!

another cool tool

check out the google reader - you're gonna love it. I can see on one page which of you has posted a new piece to their blog - works really great all on one page.

also I'm using font book to management my fonts on my mac. There should be something available for pc too.

Another one bites the dust...

Hee, hee, hee...

I'm going to have people mad a me tomorrow.

I just found the coooooolest web tool

google search del.icio.us (with the dots). They'll store your book marks or favorites so you can have access to them anywhere - very cool. You have your own private account wch your favorites are stored under. It has a tagging feature which allows you to organize your similar types - blogs scrapbooking, news, or whatever tag you like. There are probably other products but I love this one.

Going to town!

Ok, this was truly hard. The pictures were of really bad quality so I admitted it right up front. However, I did use a brush font so I got the hand stamped quality on my photo labels. Lots of work but worth it I think.

My sister Kellie...

Ok, I took my time today and had some fun. I've got a really painful hip so moving is really hard today - actually even sitting is difficult but what else I am to do... This is a picture of my sister who is now over 35 (I won't reveal her real age - that is up to her...). The real picture of her was taken in my parents kitchen and has half a table, chair legs, and very dark. However, Kellie popped out pretty good so I extracted her from the photo and blew her up. I even changed the color of her clothes to match my chosen papers. The photo needed some touching up but it didn't turn out too bad.

I'm back!

Other projects have kept me away but I cobbled this together this morning.

A late night edition

I've struggled all evening with this one and I don't like it but I'll post it anyway.

In one night...

I'm getting faster... Now I HAVE to get more memory for my Mac. It really slows me down... But it works better than my PC so this is what I'll go with. Here's tonight's handiwork.

I'm on a roll...

This is so fun. I probably overscrapped this page but I kept thinking of techniques I wanted to try on the page so I just kept going. Yikes -too much fun.

Ambitious

I'm feeling ambitious or inspired today so I've got another page ready. I'm enjoying this tremendously.

Underway

I am inspired by all my scapping buddies so I'm joining the crowd. We'll see how it goes...

I did this page at the beach in March. I've done some other pages since then but haven't gotten them flattened yet.
