All my Excuses....

Wow i really have let this go. seriously this is what is taking up my time nowdays...it's impossible.

i know how it is supposed to work, i just can't get it to. gosh i've dubbed it satan cube. i know i'm not the first one.
there may be another reason i haven't been on much...ya it doesn't lie, it's been HOT i've enjoyed it, now it's back to rain. dangit.
i've also been busy helping with planning and executing a babyshower, shelley's new wack schedule and working/babysitting. gahhh. oh and researching something called college...bleh. one up side to the whole college thing, getting photoshop CS3 for a fraction of the regular cost (so instead of spending 1000 on the extended version, i get CS3 and a butt load of other programs for about 700. retail value 3000.) anyways.


here is my new favorite paper i bought from TOM during NSD early this month. it's s.e.i. Dill Blossom. i will be making something with this paper soon. but alas another hinderence in my blogging....

if i don't have a place to scrapbook, i don't, then the blog suffers. it's CRAZY on my table.

and last but not least, some tags to go with my new paper. i bought all sorts of good stuff with my $50 TOM gift certificate i won!! ow ow

Photoshop Brushes

someone is complaining that i haven't posted anything so here are some pictures (some old, some new). i bought 8 Photoshop brushes and overlays yesterday for only $4. i've used some of the brushes on these pictures...i haven't gotten the overlays to work quite right yet. if you want to know where i got these brushes you can ask, i'll have to look it up and i don't want to right this minute.

Angelinaaaa

WOOOOHOOOO i won the Treasury of Memories contest for My Minds Eye!! i'm so excited i don't think i've ever won anything so big before. i have a huge doofy smile right now. anyways i just wanted to let someone know! National Scrapbooking day here i come!

A Three-er

This is like the blog feast and with feast, comes famine, which i'm sure is upon us. geeze louise. i think this is like my 3rd day in a row... well here is a breath of fresh air...3 pictures on a page! woohoooo. not much else on the page but still 3 pictures!! and on the left side there, that's a little taste of my next page i will be posting. that one is a "One-er" too. that's what i'm calling my pages with one picture. FYI.

Pink Paislee+One Photo=My New Obsession

I am on a blog roll. i'm amazing at this. .... maybe not so much. well here is another Miss Mary page.
i've decided i am in my "one photo period" like picasso's blue period (or something like that..?) lately i don't have many pictures to scrapbook. i usually have like 3 or 4 pictures on each page but lately i've been doing just one picture. it's expensive to do it this way. i guess i'm just using my favorite pictures so i'm ok with it. it's just not what i usually do. to figure out something to do on a 12x12 piece of paper with one picture is hard for me.
anyways the paper i used was the pink paislee office lingo line again. i guess for NSD this saturday i'll have to stock up on this line, once again.

p.s. i also have to figure out another way to get these pics. uploaded onto the computer. taking a picture makes it glare and the scanner isn't big enough...boooo

Steve & Miss Mary.

I have been hitting the scrapbooking lately. here is one of the couple pages i've done. i'm going to restrain myself and not post all the pages at once becuase otherwise i won't post for a long time again.
this page i did using the new Pink Paislee line which i LOVE. i bought a bunch of it this weekend. the picture is from the 4th of July in 2003. it's a picture that i won something at the fair. i was 15 when i took the picture. i think i won like $10. once again the main subject is Miss Mary. i love taking her picture back when she was this age, and now.

What a DIVA

i am an amazing sister....really amazing. sometimes i can't even believe how generous i am to my brothers. for instance, last weekend i took some more of my brother ty's senior pictures. we went down to fairhaven and walked along the train tracks, stood by big beams and sat on logs. all of this traipsing around for over an hour and my favorite picture ended up being one sitting in the car waiting for shelley. without any prompting from me, ty got out my sunglasses, took my necklace off my mirror and put both items on and leaned back. well i couldn't pass this up so i grabed my camera before he realized it and took a bunch of pictures.


then since i am such an amazing sister i went above and beyond my duties and made him a digital scrapbook page. i know, i am too generous.


haha he would probably poke my eyes out if he saw this.

here are some of the other senior pics we took that day (then i, being super, photoshopped them, just going above and beyond as usual):

The WINNER!

So just to start, seriously jason from survivor is an idiot. i hate those 4 girls....seriously. gosh. well now that that's out, here is the process i used to pick the winner...first i wrote all the names on a piece of paper...

next i cut them all up and folded them and put them in a yellow bowl...

then i had to get someone unbiased/someone who doesn't care pick a name.

and....dun dun dun, the WINNER:


JUDY! you are now the proud owner of some scrapbooking goodies! yay for my first blog candy winner!!

The winner of the blog "candy" will be chosen tonight before (or maybe after) Survivor. woot woot. so that would be 8 or 9pm Pacific time. so you can still enter on the previous post until then. or i guess you could enter on this post if you wanted. either way. poor poor ozzy. :( should have used his idol. he got toooooo cocky just like james last year. oh well.
