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 Jess with cool stuff in it.

It only took me HOURS to do this layout, but it was so much fun! It took hours and hours because I would stop and pause my lesson as I followed along and learned all the various techniques or rewound to make sure I got it right when I didn’t fully get something immediately. DID lessons are faster paced and packed with more information than my last couple of classes.

We cut apart flourishes for the title and added to the title, cut complex shapes and masks, “cut” without cutting, recolored objects (buttons), masked paper without loads of extra layers, created scallops, and so much more.

Geocaching (pronounced “geo cashing” ) is one of our new(er) hobbies… mostly Brent’s, but I enjoy tagging along, too. If you want to learn more about Geocaching, visit www.geocaching.com to learn more. Be careful, it’s an addicting, and could potentially become an expensive hobby.

The text in the “vellum” journaling block says:

“You wanted a GPS unit for ages. You did your research, saved your money, and finally purchased one. Sadie and I tagged along on your adventure and spent a fun spring afternoon walking in the woods and searching for a cache. It was fun to watch you crawling through the brush looking for the cache that was right under your nose.”
