new layout

hi

almost there!!!!!

5 days until vacation! I cannot wait. I started packing the kids stuff yesterday and will try to get some more done today. Perry is getting really worn out with work, he work over 17 hours yesterday and the rest of the week is going to be rough, too. He has to work his day off tomorrow. It will be cutting it close to have this guy trained before we leave for the cottage. Anyway, next week should be really good for him and hopefully very relaxing!
The prompt for HS:MS today is bowl. A round, deep dish. Show us a bowl in your space today.
Have a great day!

traveller and an update

So, we went to the beach Thursday with my Grandma. It was perfect weather, and the boys were really good, until we got in the car to leave. We had a really fun afternoon. The kids loved playing in the sand, we built sand castles and 'lakes'. Afterwards, we went to get ice cream at McDonalds. And - I didn't bring my camera! So, I have no pics to share :(
Is anyone watching Traveller? It's a summer show and we never watch any summer series, I guess I've always had the impression that they weren't good enough to be on during the regular season so why watch?!? Anyways, this show is amazing. In line with Lost and Prison Break, not that I like it AS much as I like those two, but it's similiar in that it is like a movie, the story just keeps going and going. Does that make sense? Every episode is not an isolated event. Really, really good TV! Nice to have something to watch while all the other shows are done.
Perry's mom took the boys for the afternoon, she's hoping to take them swimming at her brothers. Perry is sleeping, so I should be scrapbooking. (Well, really I should be cleaning...)
Have a great weekend!!!

quick pic

I did this layout tonight. Will hopefully post about my weekend tomorrow! Scrapbooking. A night away. A park. Farm animals. A nature trail. It'll be a good story! lol :)

more pages, finally

It seems like I haven't been able to scrap for weeks! Yesterday, Perry's mom took the kids for the evening and ended up keeping them over night, so I got a bit done last night. And I've even got a few hours this morning! So, I will post some layouts from last night and then I'm off to scrap! :)

some layouts

new CK feature

CK has got a new online feature by Candace Stringham. It is all about improving your photography skills. I am really excited about this because I would love to do that, but I don't want to get in to all the technical stuff. I'm sure that Candace will be giving basic and easy to follow hints which are what I like! Here's the first one : "Leading lines are lines in a photograph used to move the viewer’s eye to the subject. Simply by changing your camera angles you can change the direction the lines in the photograph are leading. You could use things in the background like fences, streets, paths, buildings, etc. to create leading lines."
2 tips:
1- use slide mounts as brackets- just cut in half
2- to do faux zigzag stitching on a layout, grab a fine tip marker and a ruler. I mark dots along the ruler at even increments, then move the ruler over to the width that you want the stitch and mark dots the same distance apart- but make sure to slide the ruler a bit so that these dots are between the first ones and not directly beside. Then take your marker and connect the dots. It doesn't have to be perfect- most stitches aren't 100% perfect anyway!

mother's day

I made this cute mini album today for my mother in law. I've been doing a few digital layouts, I really liked this one. Love the title and the flowers- they are from 2peas and Shabby Princess. Have a nice day! It's gorgeous outside here!
