Words of my life....

When I stand before God at the end of my life, I hope that I will not have a single bit of talent left and I can say, "I used everything you gave me." -Erma Bombeck

Out from under my rock...



Or my scrap area for that matter. This month has been INSANE for projects! That and with my husband leaving again in 3 days. Last time it was only for 30 days, this time he will be gone until January. Ahh, the life of an Army Wife.




I made this layout to go with my bio at ScrapDango.com. Pretty cool huh? I absolutely LOVE the Dude line from Prima and have actually bought 3 sets of it now (and used EVERY last piece). It is SO versatile! On this layout, I actually used a font to create the frame around my face and color sampled from Prima's website and dropped color into the frame in PSE to match my layout. Have I mentioned lately how much I love hybrid scrapbooking?



Tomorrow I am taking a class taught by Karen Russell! SO excited for this one. It's a Photography Workshop that lasts pretty much all day. I cannot WAIT to learn more about my camera! She is one of my VERY favorite photographers and I am constantly amazed by her talent. I was just reading her blog the other day (stalking I really should say) and was laughing out loud at her story about Heidi Swapp. She goes into this story about how she ended up making a fool of herself in front of Heidi at a trade show because she was so excited to meet her. Funny thing is, I ended up doing this a LOT to myself in Chicago at CHA. I was SO overwhelmed with meeting all of these talented artists, whom I adore, and when I tried to play it off and just act normal... yeah, that didn't work. When I get nervous or excited I end up talking really fast and with my hands. I think I scared Cindy Tobey. LOL!! Anyway, TOTALLY looking forward to tomorrow.

I cannot WAIT to post everything I have been working on for the magazine. It's literally making me antsy to show all of you but I am not allowed to post it all yet.

Hope everyone is having a great weekend and I will post more soon!

Love you lots!
