I've always wanted to know how to do this. I obviously need to work on this more but I hope to do this more often.

Look What I Did!


Jessica Sprague is offering a free photo editing class. I have Photoshop Elements but have no idea how to do anything so I thought this class would be very helpful. This is the result from the first class. Pretty cool!!

Simply Obsessed Got Talent

Although I didn't win a Guest DT spot, I had a great time completing all the challenges.

This challenge was to pick three things from a list. Mine was black cardstock, bling and sheet music.



Another challenge was to alert something and I chose a composition book for Emma.



This was a sketch challenge and I had to do the sketch!! Yikes this was a first for me but I love the layout of Cameron, Stacie, Andrea and Patti!



And some fussy cutting - using a picture of Emma and her cousins Allison and David!




An Art Piece challenge - using some old vacation photos.



A stitching challenge- Emma and her cousin Peyton after Peyton's Christening.



Stamping Challenge featuring our grandson Jace!



Creative Embelishment Challenge - Emma before her dance recital - such a little cutie!



And finally a bonus challenge featuring Emma being silly!

Spring Scrapping

Here are a few layouts I've done this spring.

These pictures were from Emma's 6th birthday party at our house. Emma, Paige and Allison.



Emma being Emma!



Mom Mom and Pop Pop - I still love this man!!!



Emma and her pup! Stacie and Werner had two dogs before Emma was born and got Allie a few years ago. Allie is definitely Emma's dog!



Emma at the zoo in October 2007 on a camel ride!



Paige and her best friend Jillian on the first day of school 2007.



Andrea and her friend Jen who got to go backstage after a Foo Fighters concert!

March Madness

No - not college basketball - just my life. Work is still super busy but at least we're now down to working only nine to ten hour days!

And Stacie and Emma are moving down closer to us next week! I'm so excited to have them closer and hope to be able to spend lots more time with them. Emma's last day at her current school was Friday. Stacie said that Emma didn't cry but some of the other kids did. I hope Emma adjusts quickly to her new house and new school.

I was able to do a few layouts the last week.



Our little Paige is such a little ham!



This was a sketch from the Got Sketch 103 Class. I had wanted to scrap these pictures for quite awhile and this was the perfect sketch. Every year when we go to the Philadelphia Zoo, Emma's big request is to have her face painted. Doesn't she make an adorable bunny?






I love these photos of Emma and Peyton taken at the Christening Party for Peyton.

HAPPY ST. PATRICK'S DAY!



I finished a couple of layouts with a St. Patty's Day theme. We always watch The Quiet Man several times during the season. On Sunday we made Irish Beef Stew in the crock pot and Cameron, Megan and Paige came down to enjoy some food and watch the movie with us. Paige has lost several teeth so I wanted to get some pictures of her and she borrowed Uncle Cameron's hat to pose as an Irish Lass.
