WOO HOO & BOO HOO! Lesson 4 (our final lesson) is complete!! YAY! I spent some time this morning working on the lesson and learning some new skills. We learned to create the word and letter stickers straight from plain typed text, made a trapezoid shape to create masks and cool designs, extracted people from a photo with a white/solid background and all sorts of other fun things. I had a blast taking photos of Brent and Sadie yesterday afternoon….

“Nobody trips over mountains. It is the small pebble that causes you to stumble. Pass all the pebbles in your path and you will find that you have crossed the mountain.” —Unknown Author Today’s Thoughts for Thursday is brought to you by the word “pigsty”…… I will pick up the pebbles in this mountain and find new homes for them and eventually tonight I will get over my mountain of junk so that I can get back to creating. It…
Heya friends! I went out of town last week (I will share pics tomorrow) and haven’t had a chance to play on the blog yet this week. I’ve got some fun {paper crafting} projects I am working on after I get work tackled today and will share with you as I finish them. In the meantime, I have this fun layout I just completed for my Digi in Deep class with Jessica Sprague. It’s called “This Is Me” and is…
This is the project from the sneak peek I posted yesterday. I am still searching for the perfect photo of Brent and Sadie to put on the inside left page above the paper strips and then it will be finished. I am thinking that I might have to hope for some nice weather tomorrow and take a photo of my two favorite people together. 🙂 Had some time to create while resting up and I made this little mini calendar…
A couple of thoughts for you today (specifically the bolded parts): “That that will not kill you, will make you stronger.” ~ Friedrich Nietzsche “You gain strength, courage, and confidence by every experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face. You are able to say to yourself, “I have lived through this horror. I can take the next thing that comes along.. . . You must do the thing you think you cannot do.” ~ Eleanor…
Digi: In Deep from Jessica Sprague began on Monday and I am just now finishing Lesson 1. I had to work Monday and Tuesday (training our new secretary who’s taking over part of my old job) and didn’t have a lot of free time to play around. I can’t wait to open Tuesday and today’s emails from Jessica to see what neat tips, techniques, field trips, freebies, or challenges, they might contain. Every day we get a new email from…
I’m gearing up for my next scrapbooking with Photoshop class (Digi in Deep) with Jessica Sprague and went back and practiced a little from our previous class lessons & it’s been shared on Jessica’s class forums, but don’t think that I have shared this layout yet on the blog. (If I did already, I apologize for re-sharing – loL!) This layout is from our Week 3 lesson in Now We’re Rockin’. It was so much fun to make!!! We custom…
First things first. I received a call from Carrie @ Brains on Fire this morning. I did not get through to the phone interviews which means I did not get the DREAM JOB. This is ok, though. I mean, how many folks actually have the opportunity to even APPLY for their dream job? I am totally bummed, but still hopeful that I have a chance to try again after the position comes open again in two years. I am not…
John Quincy Adams said: “Patience and perseverance have a magical effect before which difficulties disappear and obstacles vanish.” My version is (or has been previously): “Give me patience and give it to me now.” Well, not really. There was a time in my not too distant past when it was and where I was always in a hurry for everything and got so frustrated waiting… and waiting… I think that my experience in infertility has helped me deal with the…
