Scrapbook Page and Photo Share

I haven't shared any pages in a while only because I'm lazy about doing it. I've actually done some things in the last couple of months, but I've been bad about getting them uploaded on to my computer. The other night I sat downstairs while watching Project Runway and put about 40 pages in albums. THAT was a job, but it felt good getting it done.

I've been cutting my flowers from my perennial bed the couple of weeks and bringing them inside. I hate cutting them in spring and summer because I like them in my beds, but come this time of year when things are winding down, I'll bring them in the house.





I've also been harvesting tomatoes like a mad woman. Last weekend, I had so many I had to make an emergency batch of salsa...LOL! I also have had the cherry tomatoes coming out my ears (although they didn't get very big, I think I'm going to have to change their location next year).

Okay, enough of that...here's a couple layouts I did when I was digital scrapbooking with Becky last week:





The first page was totally random and I used some techniques I haven't for awhile, such as recoloring a element and adding text to an element. The layout of me was done with a template and masking. Probably the easily damn thing in the digital scrapbook world. You just choose what you want for each layer.

For those of you who might be curious, that photo of me was taken at my oldest and dearest friends wedding in August of 1983 in Water Works Park. I was living in Scottsdale, Arizona and came back to be the maid of honor at the wedding and I have such fond memories of that day from that photo. Another note, I made my dress. Diane didn't want me spending money on a dress, she just said, wear something light and summery.

I can't remember if I shared the card that I sent out to Kendahl, my cousin Jennifer's daughter for her 4th birthday a few weeks ago. The card accompanied a tea set that our family (including the kitties - Kendahl loved our kitties and had tea parties with them when she stayed with us).



Here's the first of the Christmas 2008 pages that I've done -
