I love taking photos of old barns.  Last summer I loaded up my camera, my GPS, and my hubby and took off for Wisconsin.  We hit random roads and took a bunch of photos.  I love the Wisconsin countryside!

I finally got my scrapbooking room organized so I thought I had better take some pictures of it.  It won't stay this clean for very long!  LOL!

I get lots of grief from my friends because I sort everything by color and I stick labels on everything.

What can I say, "ROY G. BIV", makes me happy!

I love my Cricut.  I got it when they first came out, so it's the little one.  Compared to the new ones, it's kind of like having an Apple computer with a 5 1/2 inch floppy, but I love it anyway.  I take it to all of the crops I go to and never scrap without it!

Hope you like my little creative corner of the world!

Best Friend

Here is a layout with my daughter and our very spoiled dogs. Molly, our Bichon, and Missy, our Yorkie/Bichon are rescue dogs. Star, the black and white "Chiweenie" is Magen's dog.

I have been looking for artwork to put in my scrapbook room. My room is purple and gray with black accents. I wanted artwork in bright yellows and oranges with some purple mixed in to add some punch to the walls. I haven't been able to find anything that really thrilled me, so I messed around with some photos I had taken at Lime Creek and when I was in Washington DC. I tried to make them look like paintings instead of photos. I am pretty happy with the way they turned out. Now I just need to frame them with some black frames or maybe a floating frame.

The Best Dad

My husband is a great dad. He always put his kids first and takes a great interest in everything they do. Here is a layout with photos from his birthday.

Here are a couple of photos I edited with photoshop. The first one is some poppies from my garden. The second one is my dog, Molly. We rescued her from the Humane Society a few years ago. She is the best little cuddler ever! If you click on the images you can enlarge them to see the texture better.

Happy New Year

Wow, it has been a tough couple of weeks. We tried to host Christmas on my husband's side the weekend before Christmas, but the weather was so bad we had to cancel. We spent a quiet Christmas at home, opening presents and playing games. The weekend after Christmas we were supposed to host a family get together for my side, but my husband ended up with the stomach flu! Bah humbug! To make matters worse, he passed the virus off to me and I spent New Year's eve in bed. I am feeling better today but had planned a marathon shopping spree which i cancelled just in case my stomach decided to take a turn for the worse. I did manage to get one lay-out done. (Santa brought me PhotoShop Elements 7 for Christmas). The lay-out is a photo of me with 2 of my best friends from high school. We had our class reunion this summer and it was so great to see everyone again! Let me know what you think of the lay-out!
