LOAD Continued!

O.K. so one way to do these credits is to use papers from the same kit/designer/shop!!

The sig. I created as a brush. There are a lot of tuts about creating one's sig. as a brush. Just Gooogle. Lots of variations how you might want your sig...., copyright, photography, etc.

WW weigh in- down 2. I was at 10% and then celebrated myself right away from that with a 9 lb gain. I figured out today that I still have 13 lbs to go to goal. That is half of what I have kept off so far. Exhausting, but about 75% committed again.

Tonight I fixed WW soup. Jim says he cannot stand the smell of all the onions and garlic, but then again says he could have eaten it for dinner! He's a great sport!! So easy going!

I have played around with a couple different size LO's. Well, doing the original in 12 X 12 PSD, then saving at 300, 8 X 8 so that I can print at home. I am printing on satin paper; looks good! Two LO's I have put on 12 X 12 card stock; I am hybrid + I am using some of the 1K sheets of 12 X 12 paper I have. I am going to check out an 8 X 8 album at Michaels. Just some things to play around with. I think I still like looking at my LO's in an album.

Happy Day!

Day 5 LOAD

I saw this template used on Jeanne's Creative Bliss Blog.

Using the template I had a hard time with the rounded edges and thought, "No, this is going to be way too time-consuming. I checked out my notes from the NWR class, but became frustrated when I couldn't find what I needed. I emailed Jeanne and she told me how to do the rounded corners, Contrl G in PSE.

Oh, still bad about keeping paper credits. A lot of them are from Jessica Sprague. Now, that's really official. Any ideas out there for, "How to efficiently keep a list of credits while scrapping."?

The template is from Moriginals.blogspot.com Template #5

The cute sweetie pictured is my nephew's girlfriend's daughter. Her mother Liz in in one of my previous LOAD LO's.

I am enjoying LOAD. I need to do a few ahead especially since I am going out-of-town in a week. I will take my Laptop, so just need to do some to cover while I am away, save them on a CD and upload them each day I am gone. Yep, that should work IF I get some done ahead.

Off to WW weigh in.

Happy Friday!

I cannot tell you how excited I am with the gorgeous plopper!

The pic. I took in June 2006. The pic. was taken while we were 4 wheelin near Cass Scenic Railroad State Park in WV. I added circa 06 to the bottom of the window. I didn't want to put 2006 because of the aged look of everything. The fence with the iris' was around an old farmhouse with shutters!

This is my Day 4 LO for LOAD!

Have a great Friday!

Shivering in South FL


We have the heat on! That is very unusual and only do so about once a year. Early yesterday the AC was on. We leave it on year-round. It was 33 this morning and I don't think right now it's more than 42. The wind is bitter!

I am doing the LOAD challenge at Big Picture Scrapbook so I did a QP. Yesterday I looked at Jeanne's Creative Bliss blog and found some great freebies listed in the credits for her gingerbread LO.

Credits here Raspberry Road Designs New Beginnings QP. Liz pictured here is my nephew's girlfriend.

Sweet Son PSF 2007# 7

This is my result of the current challenge on the Jessica Sprague General Forum PSF 2007 #7. I didn't intend to post this LO anywhere, so I didn't keep a list of the credits; oh, lesson learned. I was going back and try to find everything, but decided I could use the time more productively???

Happy New Year


LO with all Designer Digitals Freebies.

Do you have any New Year's Day Traditions? When I was growing up, we ate cabbage on New Year's Day. There was a silver dollar hidden in the cabbage and whoever found it would have good luck in the New Year. Now, living in the South, the tradition is to eat Black-eyed peas. So, I am going to cover traditions with both cabbage and black-eyed peas.
