Happy Birthday Lynn

Happy Birthday Sister! I love you.

looks a little strange but....

I've been playing with some new brushes I made for the next digiscrap kit I'm working on. The kit has a princess theme. Sorry I've been away for the holidays so I haven't posted much lately but I'll be back on schedule in '08.

Happy Christmas!

Christmas Tree Topiary

I designed this topiary with pictures of my sister and her family. I made the ornaments to use as gift tags on the presents I sent them – since my youngest nephew is too young to read, I thought he would enjoy the gift tags. The tags turned out so cute that I had to find a way to use them in a design.

Call Center Emoticon

We needed an emoticon of a call center employee for a project at work...so I drew this little guy. It's he cute?

dinner with friends

This night was fun! We celebrated Leslie's b-day at the woodlands restraunt.

Rocky

Here's a photo I took this past weekend of my friend Teri's horse. I decorated with a few elements from my next digiscrap kit. I'm still working on the papers, but most of the elements are complete. Once I have a few kits put together, I'll work on getting a site set up to distribute them.

On the train at MOA's Park After Dark

I tried to get some cool shots of Lynn & the boys on this train ride - but this was the trip when my camera died so I didn't have much luck. Intead, I took this shot of the train in motion and added Lynn & the boys from another picture where they were sitting still. It's not exactly "realistic", but it does look neat!

Hemisfair Park

This photo was shot in color but I wanted to make it more dramatic. First I brightened up the letters because they’re really white and get lost in the bright picture - but it just didn’t pop enough so I turned them yellow. I liked that look and I decided to make each light bulb yellow, instead of white. The effect was awesome, but still not very exciting. So, I turned the photo B&W but left the bright yellow additions and added a little bit of glow. Now that’s dramatic!

mommy-to-be

I went to a baby shower for one of SD's cousins a couple of weekends ago and took this picture of mommy and baby. I've seen several pics like this of mommies-to-be and I think they're so sweet.

Doodling

Here's a little doodle I worked on today while practicing. I think I might have the beginnings of another digiscrap kit here....we'll see.

Self Portrait

I call this one "Self Portrait". What more can I say?

Trees

I really like colors in this one - it was so much fun to create.

Sneak Preview

As I mentioned before, I am discovering the world of digiscrapping. I've been scrapbooking the traditional way for over 10 years and I don't think I will ever give it up b/c there's nothing like the fun of getting your hands dirty with all the glue, punches, scissors, stickers, papers, etc... That said, I think I am going to be just as passionate about digiscrapping because the only limit is my imagination! Here's a page I created out of my first kit. I'm still working on some of the embellishments, but all the papers are finished. I call it Fuzzy Slippers! Enjoy.
