Digital Scrapbooking

Wow, it only took me creating a couple scrapbook pages by hand to realize I prefer to do it digitally! Colors are not as vibrant and as neon, in real life...

With a solid knowledge of Photoshop and Illustrator I can create these scrapbook pages better on the computer than by hand and I love the features such as 'masking' when inserting the photos. It's so much easier this way! And I created all my own clipart and titles, right on the computer. Too cool to to think "I need...." and bam, I have it ready to go.

Here's a template I created for miniature golfing> Waiting for the photos and this page's done. (FYI: those are supposed to be golf balls, in the title. May look a tick better in person.)


And a template I created for my daughters' vacation page... just waiting for the return of my girls and their photos.


This is a finished page and is inserted in the book before the one seen just above. It is about our vacation while the girls are gone...
Regular work week for us, with some good lunches out and one celebratory dinner. Hubby got a new client and another long-term contract. So psyched for him.

If you would like some help designing these pages, please feel free to contact me for suggestions! Contact info is on my Bio page.

More Cards For The Box

More cards for my cousin's daughter's box. (Shhhh!)

Gonna be compiling all the cards and putting them in a beautiful, of course hand decorated box; silk flowers, ribbons and tissue paper.

>>Cards, silk flowers, ribbons, bows, tissue paper and a box... Erogenous objects for any girl. This gift for a budding TRUE young lady (headed off to a great school) should definitely be a hit.

These are Get Well cards. After living (surviving?) the college years, one thing I solidly learned is everyone passes around the illnesses. Having a stack of Get Wells on hand will DeFiNitElY come in handy.



Thinking the same sort of images in blues for cards she'll be giving her guy friends (or someone special?)

Then, the box is done! Should be sent at the end of the week.

Thanks for your visit!

Dragonfly Blending

Hello again!
Well, as I was weeding another garden, my daughter and I noticed this dragonfly sitting on our hydrangea. Look how wonderfully he blends in. Regular old chameleon!

OK! As Promised... Better Hummingbird Moth Pics

Hello and here you go! Here are much better pictures of the Hummingbird Moth. You know it's a moth because a bird doesn't have antennae (see bottom photo).

Thank you for stopping by. Please come again.

Hummingbird Moth!

Hello again!

I have heard of the bug but never saw one for myself. I have to admit for a bug, it's the cutest little thing!

Sorry the pics aren't better. Now that I know he frequents my garden and isn't not shy, I will try to photograph him again.

Closeup of the image below...


Full image. See how tiny he is?

Went To Purchase Another Audio Book

Saw Bristol Palin's book in the list. The only one to have 5 stars. THE ONLY ONE. Tina Fays book didn't have that many stars. Is Bristol's book being judged by the same people whom had judged her dancing?

Truthfully, when I went into the Bio section for a book, if found I was considering Bristol's book until the star ratings hit me. Now I am afraid it has been artificially inflated because of her mother's political interests.

The poor girl. I wish people would let Bristol stand on her own two feet. She seems bright enough and with a pleasant personality.... let her make it on her own, people!!!!
