ART CARD # 12..........

I can hardly imagine that we are three months in to this challenge, hope everyone is still interested... In this busy world it seems like it is hard to stick with something but it is so nice to just focus on your week and imagine how cool it will be to read all this stuff 5 or ten years from now!!!!!! Love that! Emily's prompt for the week was simply "I believe". the journalling on the back of my card reads:

a year and a half ago i am not sure if i would have believed that my dreams would come true... to have the perfect job, a wonderful family and a happy life... i now believe that anything can be accomplished through hard work and determination... Dreams really can come true!

Hope everyone is having a good week so far, feels a little bit like winter outside since we are in the middle of a snow storm!!!!!!!!Crazy Alberta weather!!!!!!!! Ronda wherever you are cruisin I would sure like to be with you!

Have a good one everyone!

Happy Monday everyone...





first of all HERE is my 11th art journal card.... all we had to do this week was our initials! How fun is that!!!!! And since i love pink and don't get to use it much.... (jk) I thought i would use it!!!! Okay Okay so I over use it but I can't help it I love it!!!

Why is it that that weekends always FLY by???? I always feel like i have so much time and then Monday comes and I think, WOW what did I do all weekend.... We were supposed to work on invitations this weekend and then all of a sudden the boys said they are going to the Hockey game... so...... shopping won out, just girls, no inturruptions, no phone calls, nothing.... it was amazing so got some totally cute BLACK and WHITE polka dot shoes!!!!(like I need shoes) I definitely couldn't resist these sweet shoes...
Also thought i would let you girls know that LOVE2SCRAP has their site back up and running so if you want to check them out just click on the link.... Elsie Flannigan is coming for a chat to the site on Wednesday so make sure you check it out... Have a great rest of your day ladies...

Lynn
p.s. I will post the April class schedule near the end of the week if not before, also don't forget about the May Spring Thing!!!!! It will be lots of fun, check the website out for more info!!!

Just the other day....

shalaina was wondering around the house snapping pictures of just about everything and anything.... there was no film in the camera but nobody else knew that!! It was priceless... It made my think of how much i hope that my children have the same passion that I have for recording history... a love for photography, and capturing a moment in time so that they can continue on the tradition that I have started...

This is the new layout package...

packages are $23.00 plus shipping and come with everything you see on the layout!!

I am so thankful that as time passes we have these precious memories that will remain there forever!!!!

Enjoy your day ladies!

Just wanted to share a little bit....

of what I have been working on!

This is the original picture, so it goes

from this...

Then this...

This is The March layout!!!!!!! What do you think???

I have been playing a little bit with my new photoshop program...(CS2)

and also with some actions, which you can find here.... this particular

action is called Urban acid... you can download

some free actions and play with them a little bit!!!!! Love the look... The only thing

is you can't use these actions with Elements. If you need any more info let me know!
