I stayed up wayyyyy too late last night, but I had stumbled on a tutorial that Jessica Sprague had a link to on her blog. It taught you how to use digital templates and I learned how to use a clipping mask. I can't take credit for the design because it's a free download from Jen Caputo at Scrapbook Graphics. The paper is from a free Rhonna Farrer kit from Two Peas.




I attended the Midwest Scrapbook Convention Friday for the second time. They were here last October and I had a good time cropping there, so this time some of my scrap friends decided to crop also.

I got off work at 12:45 that day and decided to park up by the Iowa Event Center and walk back down to Palmer's on the skywalk for a fabulous salad! I just love their Cobb Salad with Italian dressing. The weather outside was yucky, so I knew I was going to have to move my car closer to Hy-Vee Hall so my supplies wouldn't get soaked in the rain. I walked back up to the Events Center (at least I got my 30 minutes worth of walking in) and met up with Jenni, Gina and Joellyn at the Vendor Faire. Found wayyy too many things I thought I needed....LOL

The pajama crop started at 5:30 and went to 11:00pm. Judy, Lori, Brenda and Kathy had reserved a spot for us and we all got settled in (me, after two trips to the car, which BTW I did score a excellent spot, it cost me $6.00 but it was worth it).

Had a great time with all the gals. I even won a door prize! I won a Cropper Hopper Vertical Paper Storage. I use these holders for my paper so I can always use them and I had the perfect space for it.

Believe it or not, I got 6 pages done. All I needed to do was journal and I finished all of that the next day. That's pretty good for me....6 pages in 5 hours.

This is my Aunt and Uncle, Susie and Jim. Susie is my mother's younger sister and she's more like an older sister to me than an Aunt.


I used K&Company Wild Saffron on this page.

Here's a couple more that I completed.




I also got busy last week and finished up a couple that had been hanging out on my work space way too long.




Thanks for looking! Have a great week....I have tomorrow OFF! Yea!!
