Cute!

I had a dog who used to do this!!  I'm sure there are multiple copyrights on this clip, but I wanted to share it with you all.  Sorry I haven't uploaded anything else lately - to those of you who follow me....which, there are none of, but that's beside the point!  Will upload more later once I complete my card organizer/birthday calendar.  I'm uber excited about it!!!

Getting back to business!!

I do not blog nearly enough, so I'm going to start making it part of my daily routine!  Last night, I worked on a perpetual calendar and made my first lip balm card holder!

I really didn't have time to make this as nice as I could, but now I know how and can improve on it next time! I Used this pattern to get the general idea.  I have a ton on my todo list for today, so I'll write again tomorrow!

i have a blog??

So it's been so long since my last post that I almost forgot that I have a blog.  I've been busy with a scraproom makeover, as well as buying a new house, renovating that house, training a new puppy....all while trying to enjoy my job....  I'll post more pics later, but I just wanted to let you know that I have not forgotten about this blog....you know, the one person who might actually read this between now and my next post....that one person probably being myself.....

Work in Progress...

I'm working on making my bridal party out of paper dolls! I'm having such a blast! I'm just having difficulties figuring out how to draw the faces. I really want Peachy Keen stamps, but I kinda like drawing my own faces... These are made with Cricut's Paper Doll Dress Up cartridge...what do you all think?

Digital Stuff!!

I've been experimenting with digital scrapbooking! My favorites all include elements from WM Squared, available at scrapmatters.com! These are of my nephews and this past fourth of July.

Cricut!!!

So I haven't posted in a very long time, sorry. Since I'm sure no one is going to look at this anyway, I feel free to say whatever I want!! Muahahahaha!!! Anywho, I made a huge pster for my class the other day and I was able to use my Cricut for a practical use! I used my Paper Dolls Cut Up cartridge. I'm going to try t post the pictures here...let's see if it works....

Now these pictures are not the best of quality since they are the ones I had taken with my phone to send to my mother. My camera is at home and I'm stuck at work, so you all will just have to deal with it for now! I'll find some more of my stuff and put in on here since I see that this is so incredibly easy to post to!

This is my new blog!!

I'm going to be posting my scrapbook layouts, favorite pictures, and advice on digital scrapbooking. I don't know nearly enough about Photoshop, but I love offering help. My first bit of help is a link to a website I found that has listed every single (well, not quite EVERY one) keyboard shortcut. Go Here I never knew the shortcuts would be so much help! It just about halves the time it takes to do anything.

Also, here is a link to one of my favorite tutorials. This one explains how to cut certain shapes out of background paper. This also works for any of the custom shapes you can find. This was written by Amanda Taylor of Taylormade Designs. She does a GREAT job of explaining things in a way that anyone can understand. You can find more of her tutorials here .

Good luck, and have fun!!
