ScrapTiffany Sketch

The ScrapTiffany design team was given a sketch for today's challenge.

So with that, my design team term has come to an end. Tiffany has decided to stop the challenges and design team on her blog. I will miss working with Tiffany and all the great ladies on the design team. Head on over one more time today for one more round of scrappy goodness at ScrapTiffany.

Faulous Friday Finds at ScrapTiffany

Today I am hosting the blog over at ScrapTiffany.com. I have a roundup of my favorite photography resources. The more I play with my big girl camera the more I want to learn how to take better pictures. I am sharing websites you can check out, classes you van take, books you can read, post processing resources and more. Head on over to check it out...ScrapTiffany

Happy Friday!

Hello!

I haven't been up to writing much lately.  I am still recovering from foot surgery and it has been more painful than expected.  I had surgery to relieve the plantar fascia and remove bone spurs on the heel.  The plantar fascia apparently wasn't as bad as they had thought but the bone spurs were worse, so it is tough to walk.  But every day it gets better.

I am excited to start the new session of Finding Photo Freedom (Library of Memories) over at Big Picture Classes today. I have been taking the class since 2008 and each year since as an alumni. Each year the refresher is good to help me evaluate my system and tweak where necessary.  I am looking forward to this as my summer project.

I haven't been scrapping much lately, but I have a huge backlog of things I haven't shared.  I played along in the Studio Calico National Scrapbook Day celebration and finished 8 layouts that week from their challenges.

This one with my mom is my personal favorite....

Hoping to get back into a regular blogging schedule, so I hope this is my fresh start. Happy Thursday!

Surgery Day & ScrapTiffany Layout

Sunday was the new challenge at ScrapTiffany.  I am a bit tardy getting mine up here.  The challenge was to scrap your guilty pleasure.  Without a doubt that would be good wine.  Having the kiddos has definitely cut into the budget for that, but when we can we love to have a good bottle.

Today I am having foot surgery today. My foot pain started in October when we were on vacation and grew much worse after I started training for the 60 mile 3 day breast cancer walk. 

After months of trying everything else, today I am having surgery.  My plan to walk this year’s 3 day walk has been derailed, but I am looking forward to healing and getting back on the walking path for 2012.

Looking forward to lots of sleep this afternoon.

Happy Friday and Cosmo Cricket Class

 

In a few short hours it will be Friday. I am looking forward to a weekend hanging out with family and brunch on Sunday for Mother’s Day.  Hanging out with these little guys.

A while back I took a Cosmo Cricket class at my LSS, Paper Vineyard.  I never shared the layouts and cards we made so I thought I would share them today, since I still haven’t finished my CKC post. I took 3 classes and 2 of them used the newest lines Salt Air and Upcycle. The third focused on CC’s fabric and the new Glubers.

Have a great weekend!

ScrapTiffany Sunday Challenge

I’m a bit late getting my ScrapTiffany challenge up for today.  I thought the 1st was tomorrow, oops!

I spent most of yesterday doing major cleanup on my laptop. I topped the day off with an upgrade to Windows 7, which took hours to complete. At one point I was certain that my computer was toast. But most things are looking fine now.

Of course it can’t be perfect. When I logged into Lightroom this morning,I needed an update that is downloading now. It looks quite large, so I am guessing I will have another day of computer maintenance ahead.

Today’s challenge at ScrapTiffany is Friendships. I did this layout about me and my best friend. I couldn’t do this crazy life without him. Head on over to ScrapTiffany to see what the rest of the design team ladies did.

I finished up my layouts from CKC last night.  I am working on a post with an overview of my classes and my completed layouts.  I hope to have it up later in the week.

Have a great Sunday!

Hoppy. Happy Easter!

We are getting ready to check out the baskets from E.B. (that's Easter Bunny for those of you that did not see the movie "Hop"). And then a big Easter Egg Hunt with lots of kiddos. 

Happy Easter!
