Surprise

I found this on the SD card in my camera. I don't know which girl took it. Or why. Or what it is?!?!?!?!?!?

Just think it is funny.

I guess there are worse pics I could have found.

Friday Fill-Ins #143

And...here we go!

1. One week ago I was a week younger.

2. I never had to worry about anything when I was young.

3. Mama told me not to write down anything you didn't want anyone to read.

4. We're not spring chickens you and me.

5. Take your time rushing through life.

6. Those chili beans will pass!

7. And as for the weekend, tonight I'm looking forward to DUH! pizza and survivor, tomorrow my plans include stamping, scrapping and taking care of a sick hubby and Sunday, I want to shop and clean. Okay. So I don't really WANT to clean, but it must be done!

Here's the sketch from today. Day 1.

Here's my first card. I just got the Studio G stamp today and was excited to use it.

You can't tell from the pictures, but the ink, also Studio G, has a sparkle to it. It's great.

The lace was a cream color. I inked it to get it darker.

I made this next based on a very, very, very loose interpretation of the sketch.

The chipboard reminds me of an ancient rune. It just has the right feel.

The color is off, the buttons are green, orange and purple. Same as the skulls eyes.

Here's the inside of the card. I love this bone paper. I think it's K & Co. I could be wrong.



Thanks for looking.

Fairies are worth the wait.

I promised you more. We waited for an hour to meet the fairies in Toontown.

This was the longest line we waited for at Disney for anything.

It was worth it for the smile on my little girls face.
She was in heaven.

I think Tinkerbell sprinkled pixie dust on her because she was floating the rest of the day.

Morgan in an animal talent fairy for sure.

Fawn didn't stop talking the entire time we were there.

Surely that is one of the traits of the animal talent fairies.

Opus Gluei Challenge # 24 - Learning

All of us learn new things. We might not realize it, but we learn.

Right now I am learning to take care of me.

It isn't easy. I have to MAKE myself do things strickly for me.

As part of this process, and it is a process, I am taking a class at Big Picture Scrapbooking called

ME: The Abridged Version.

In the class we are making an entire album about ourselves. ME. I am having to learn again what matters to me. What makes me tick. What is important and what I like. AND I am having fun in the process.

So far, I have ALL of the pages created digitally.

That is to say that I have the basic pages laid out for each letter in the alphabet.

I only have a handful of them completed.

Getting them all done will take me a bit of time as I have to limit my time spent on this project to 20-30 minute chunks of time.

I will get it done AND I WILL get the pages printed and put into an album.

(You can see the "a" page in the below post.)

ME: The Abridged Version

This is my first page for this album. I have all the papers needed for this class. Except for the background paper. (Rosemary, I know you are thinking "How in bloody hell does she NOT have background papers?", but I don't. I want kraft and I can't find mine. I know I have it somewhere. So being the impatient soul that I am, I decided to play with PSE7 and see what popped out. I am THRILLED with the outcome.

Cathy Z is a GREAT teacher. She is teaching/leading us on how to get a book about ME. Okay if you were taking the class yours would be about YOU. But since I am taking it, mine is about ME. ME ME ME.

I have always wanted to do a book about me. With stories that my family can read later in life and get to know me a bit better. So when Cathy offered this class, it was a NO BRAINER.

Now that I have the first page done digitally, I have to find something to do with all the other patterned paper I just cut into specific sized pieces. Hmmm. Card sets maybe?????
