:)Pray for me ladies!

QUICK PAGES ROCK!!

I am trying to use all my quick pages and templates. I would really like to catch up with 2007.

And then go on and do 2006 that I was doing all digital. Before 2006 all my pages are paper scraping. But they are not finnished either. I need to get to work.

It's a Zoo!

I stayed up late just for you, Kristy!

I took the camera to the zoo yesterday, knowing that I had some animal fur papers. That doesn't seem like the right motivation for taking pictures, but it's an honest one!

A PAGE AGAIN!!

QUICK PAGE!! and I have no idea where it came from ;0)

I FEEL ALONE ON THIS BLOG. Where are you DIGIMOMS!!

Shacone I thought you were posting a Challenge layout? ;0)

2nd Grade!

I finally did a layout of David. He doesnt take good photo's lately (funny teeth growing in), so it is hard to do alot of pages on him. But I really like this one.

Kristy

I used a TEMPLATE!!!!

I am so excited I got this to work. I had so much fun at Kristy's learning to use the template, that I couldn't wait to do this one!!! So much easier than coming up with my own layouts!

Question for all...

I have a friend in 3rd Ward that has a scrapbooking group and is wondering if we would like to join them in their monthly crops. I thought if we wanted to have lessons there. I could bring my laptop and anyone else who has one. We can learn new things and if anyone wants to papaer scrap you can do that too. Please leave a comment and let me know what you think.
Kristy

Here's My Challenge....

Well, it took me forever to finally start working on it, but here it is. I decided to use some pictures that we took from Hogle Zoo this past week.

(I don't have a garden, so I couldn't use this sketch for it!!!!! Ha, ha. I do love those pages.)
Heather

Using a template..

I had a lot of fun teaching Heather how to use a template! This is the page we made from the template we downloaded! Good Job Heater!!
Kristy

It's a Girl thing!

When I saw the girls getting ready for church up on my bed, I knew it would be a scrappy opportunity. These pictures were taken on Fast Sunday this month. It was so cute!

The kit is from Nana's Attic again. Unfortunately, she just "cleaned out" her blog, so this kit is no longer available. ("Sweet'N'Sassy")

The word art is from Tracy Drane. Click on wordart on the menu under "Looking for Something?" to the right. Or just find it here.

Practice makes better

Just making sure that I could use those templates! This one was much easier after struggling with the first one.

Template from Amy Fenner. Get it here.

Thanks for the help, Kristy!

I added a little.

Kristy, you might notice that there isn't any green. Hmm...how did that happen? ;) I'll have to force myself to use some soon. But I do like this better than the others.

This is using Autumn Harmony from Nana's Attic.

The template is found here.

Hey, Heather!

Where is your challenge page? We're all waiting! ;)

Help?

Is there a way to open .rar files in Photoshop?

virtual scissors

I made a photoshop document that has three or four vurtual scissors, but I can't post it for you to download. _dont'knwo how or its not possible.

Here is an example. I "cut" one edge off janells pic.
the blue lines above are what the "scissors" document looks like.
It's easy then to select the blue, drag the selection to the paper you want ot cut and delete the selection.
If you want the psd file email me or tell me how to post a file people can download.

I wish I had bath time pics for this

First Day of School..... Last Year

 

 

These are a couple of pages I did of Jaden's first day of kindergarten (last year). I'm not quite as caught up as Arlyn. She just amazes me!!!!
Heather

Just playing around making a new school photo.

Val napping with gabriel. I wanted a christmas pic to put in the orb, but dont'have any on this computer. YOu'll notice a few mistakes o the orb, but I think it will be fun to make an ornimant page when I get good at making them. Does anyone know how to make a reflection when the bottom of the image isn't straight?

Janell at Gym

I learned two new thing to make this.

One is pattern maker. You select a rectangle you want to cover a page with.
then click Edit and then Define pattern.
Name your pattern
Open your paper size new file
click on the stamp tool (above the eraser) hole hte mouse down so you see two choices, choose pattern stamp
between "flow " and "aligned" on your properties bar is a square drop down menu. choose your new stamp
use a large brush size and paint your page.

The other is the frame
I drew half of the top of a frame
Selected it copied it, pasted it and fliped it(transform menu under EDIT)
position then merge layers down
Copy and paste again but instead of flip rotate 90 degrees
Agian position, and merge
then copy, paste and rotate 180
after its positioned and merged you have a basic fram with a unique shape.

Then I use the pillow emboss tool (this is in the same drawer as drop shadow) you can't see the embossing on the web version I uploaded. but maybe a little bit.

Back to School!

I made this using a kit from Miss Vivi. I learned how to edit the picture to extend outside the frame from Nana's Attic blog. :)

But I will not be defeated!

Heather

This is our garden this year.

More Garden Pics

Here are some more pages of the kids at the Rexburg Gardens. There aren't as many pics of the boys as I would have liked there to be. They weren't nearly as interested in posing for the camera as Kaylee was!

CHALLENGE !!!

I am ready for another CHALLENGE!! How about you?


This is an easy one.....

Make a layout using this sketch from Jessica Sprauge,



You will need to make circles or cut your photos into photo's. Let me know if you need help.
Kristy

a buttton

I'm having more fun making paper and such than the actual putting together pages.

I know its only one button, but now I know how to make them I can make varied kinds

The paper took very little time to make. I just used a bar backround form a clip art set I bought and filled a page with the stamp pattern tool.

Now If my home computer would work I could make any print I want for paper. If you need something specific let me know. I just noticed you can't see detail on this. It has little fish jumpin gon the side. If you want it email me and I'll sned it back.

Shacone here....

Just sharing from my craziness this weekend! Yah, the bridal shower is over!

My first scrap book page ...

digital or otherwise.

I "made" the torn paper using the smug tool in photoshop after using a texture on a pink fill.

the silver button I found at a site where they sell real vintage buttons and I deleted the stuff around it.

the ribbon was from a free kit.

Hoppy Easter

I finally made it back to the computer. I had to recover from my burnout. I played around with Photoshop a bit on this one. I changed the color of the frame and each ribbon and erased the date from the photo. If you get a really close look at the right bottom of the picture, you may be able to tell I was messing around with the colors and shading where the yellow date was.

Arlyn

Print your pages.

Here is a site that is printing pages!!
http://scrapquick.com/catalog/printing.html
This is a digital scrapbook site that I do trust. I will get some printed and see what the quality is.
they have a good price also.

Kristy

Freebie!!

There is a new freebie at http://www.oscraps.com/

I love it! Kristy

Beautiful Gardens

We took a drive to Rexburg the other day and took some real cute pics of Kaylee at the gardens. Here is a page I did using a few of them (I'm sure it'll be the first of several).

NEW FREE KIT HERE;

http://peppermintcreative.com/index.php?main_page=downloads

No luck uploading...one more try (sorry)

Yippee it worked!

I fixed them!

Hey, Kristy! I took what you taught us about erasing and changed my pages to be more realistic. I'm only putting small pics here. You get the idea.

I'm not reposting them on my blog. I'm obsessed, but within bounds!

Arlyn

One more Top 10

Ok. Here's Chads. Now I'm taking a break from digital scrapbooking for AT LEAST 24 hours!

Arlyn

Austin's Top 10

I had spent quite a while on this and then went to save it and it disappeared. I have definitely learned my lesson. Save... and save often. It didn't take me as long to make the second one. I'm pretty happy with it anyway. Here it is:

Heather

Kaylee's Top 10

I am a woman POSSESSED!

Once I started thinking about doing a page for everyone in the family, I had to get to it. Chad's is still in the works.

This is something I can do when I'm tired. I can't crochet or sew...too many mistakes!

I did all these today. I think my rear end is numb.

Arlyn

New Page!!

This is a page of David surfing at Rigby Lake. I used a template to do this one. http://simplysarahdesigns.blogspot.com/2007/07/layered-template-9.html
I will show you how to use one like this when you come to the meeting
