Taking Chances

I decided that my layout wasn't finished and I want to put some color in the flowers. It was too late to use photoshop plus I don't really know how to use it so I decided to take my stampin up felts and color the flowers. I started with one and there was no going back. I was soooo scared I would wreck the picture but then I took the blending pen from close to my heart and blend it all together....again I took a big risk. Here are the before and after...

Before




After

Inspired

Well after months of not feeling very inspired I finally feel inspired once again. I haven't really done a lot of layouts recently and I think it was because I was feeling discouraged. I would see so many beautiful layouts and be envious. Why can't I do these layouts and make mine look as beautiful. But then I finally decided you know what I do like my layouts and maybe they are not as professional looking as the ones that I have seen but they are mine and that's all that matters. I don't need to be a professional or be perfect. I just have to be me.

Thanks for looking

Another wedding layout

My new little camera....

It only took over three months to get here but I think it was well worth the wait. I finally got my new little camera. We have this awesome program at work where you can get points rewarded to you for different items. I had enough points to get a little camera that I wanted to have with me at all times so if that perfect scrapbooking moment or picture was there I could take the picture. It's so cute and it fits nicely in the palm of my hand.

I also got a new cricut cartridge from eBay called "Doodle Charms" looking forward to playing with that. I've seen the pink stamper do a lot of neat things with it so I think I can do some really neat things with it too.

Until next time....

I haven't posted anything for a long time....

My husband was bugging me saying that I haven't added any post since February. He's right so I thought that I would just do a little update.

I am happy that I have finally figured out how to change my background. It really does help if you read the instructions.

Been doing a fair bit of scrapbooking lately. Mainly going to card classes every couple of weeks and learning some fun new techniques. I have also been to a few scraps. I was able to get my baby albums done one for my sister in law and the other one for my little sister. I just have to get the one to my little sister sent.

Added a new slide show showing some of my cards that I've done.

More to add later....toodles

Lazy Winter Days

I am trying to do more scrapbooking...

I love doing it and I love creating new pages but sometimes it can take me so long just to get inspired on what kind of layout to do. I am trying to create more unique layouts and not use my typical designs. I am going to more crops which does help me to become more creative and I love seeing what other users do.

Here is a layout I created yesterday, it's simple but I am happy with the results.
