Digital Scrapbooking – My first full digi layout!

Brent gave me “tuition” to a class this spring for my bday… Originally I had wanted to take a cake decorating class, but I just couldn’t get myself to sign up for it. I kept “humming and hawing” about it and then Jeanne Tomshack told me about this FABULOUS Photoshop class she took from JessicaSprague.com and showed me photos of the layouts they made in the class. And you know, OF COURSE I had to sign up for the October…

Hey Baby, Let’s Go To Vegas

Hey Baby, Let’s Go To Vegas

I am apologizing in advance for not putting up a lot of art this week. On Wednesday, Brent and I are driving down to Las Vegas to meet up with my aunt and uncle who are coming out from Virginia to “see the west”. I am very excited to see them. Saw uncle Steve a couple of years ago at a family reunion in Massachusetts, but I haven’t seen my aunt Lisa in probably 20 years or so. We’re going…
