Crafts Hobbies http://shescraps.blogdrive.com/archive/41.html Sun, 21 Aug 2005 23:53:56 GMT I am so happy to announce that I finally have a TypePad blog! I'm so happy...I finally have dedicated photo albums and tons of space for my images!!! Anyhoo...come check out my new blog!! http://shescraps.blogdrive.com/comments?id=41 http://shescraps.blogdrive.com/archive/40.html Fri, 19 Aug 2005 09:46:39 GMT What am I doing awake? I must be crazy? Shane and Lindsey will be up in 3 hours! For some reason, I am feeling wired. Don't know why...I didn't even get that much sleep last night so I should be wiped out. Lord knows I'm gonna be exhausted this afternoon. I just have so many things running through my head at 100 miles an hour. I hate it when I get like this. Oh what I wouldn't give for half of a sleeping pill right now. LOL But no can do cause I'm a nursing mama! Speaking of nursing, Shane came home last night when I happened to be nursing Mal and he asked me if I planned on...

I take tons of pictures anyway...why not try to make a little money from those pictures. So I decided to take the girls on a nature walk to see if I could get some interesting photos. Here are two that I thought were really good. So I submitted my application with the photos and received an e-mail back from them saying that my photos showed undue artifacts. They said I could resubmit these images once they have been corrected or I could submit...

YAY for school! LOL Luckily Lindsey is just as excited about school starting as I am. And she's the one who has to actually go...the girl is nothing like me when it comes to school, which is a good thing. We've had a pretty rough week so far in our little house...school couldn't be starting at a better time. Here is a layout that I just finished for a Scraplift Challenge over at Digiscrapdivas. It's a few days late...but hey I got it done! I used Kathy Moore's Summer Fruits Kit which I love. The colors are wonderful...

Lindsey has been so incredibley mouthy. At the age of 10, she has the attitude of your typical 13 year old girl. At least the same attitude I had when I was 13. She argues about everything and talks back so much. So being fed up with it and seeing that we need to nip this behavior in the bud we told her that if she mouthed off once more today then she wouldn't be going with her grandma to the Art Center on Tuesday. We even explained to her what we meant by "mouthing off". Luckily she pulled herself out of her snotty attitude pretty quickly after...

Not purposely, but all day I kept catching myself deep in thought remembering so many different moments from the last 2 years. Some good memories and some not so good. So many major life changing events have taken place within the last 2 to 3 year. It seemed like I was sick for so long and no matter how many times I went to the doctor, they just couldn't decide what was wrong with me. So many horrible invasive tests that I had to endure. The sudden removal of my gall bladder because a doctor decided that is what was making me so...

Just as I was getting ready to head off to bed last night, Lindsey comes to me crying saying she doesn't feel good. My first thought...I knew I should have gone to bed earlier cause now I'm not going to get any sleep. It was around 2 am at this time...she cried with a stomach-ache for a good 45 minutes until she finally had to run into the bathroom...to get rid of that stomach-ache. Trying not to be too graphic this early in the morning. LOL So to say the least...I got very little sleep. Once Lindsey was calmed down and able to fall back asleep, I still had to...

I've made 3 different designs since late last night. Let me know what you think! Here are the 3 papers reduced in size. Here is a zoomed in sample of the top 2 papers. I'm loving how these turned out! I can't believe how much I've learned about the different tools in Photoshop in the last 24 hours! http://shescraps.blogdrive.com/comments?id=34 http://shescraps.blogdrive.com/archive/33.html Sun, 07 Aug 2005 05:35:57 GMT I'm happy to say that my first theme challenge at Digiscrapdivas started today. I am really hoping lots of people join in on the challenge. So far only one person has posted a layout for the challenge but today is only the first day. Gotta be positive right? :) Here is a layout that I just finished for the challenge. Oh BTW, the theme is FIRSTS. Berry Smashing kit by Tracy Simms, fonts are KathleenieHand, Vogel, Malopropism http://shescraps.blogdrive.com/comments?id=33 http://shescraps.blogdrive.com/archive/32.html Sat, 06 Aug 2005 17:45:41 GMT I have been wanting to learn how to make blinkies for a while now. I didn't really feel like scrapping last night so I decided to figure out how to make a blinkie. Using a tutorial, I made my first blinkie! I'm so proud! LOL I used Kathy Moore's Simply Sweet kit for the pretty stripes and background. I just love the bright colors in that kit! I made the blinkie to help promote the weekly theme challenges I will be hosting at Digiscrapdivas. I'm really excited about these challenges. I'm hoping to make these challenges interesting in fun! Would love it if you stopped by... (more) http://shescraps.blogdrive.com/comments?id=32
