My New Camera

I am the proud owner of a Canon Rebel XSi! Love my new toy and want to share some photos! GSon #2 is at such a fun age to photograph. He really just doesn't care if you're taking his picture!
So happy!

After the initial shock, the icy cold water was fun!


That is one po'd look you're getting there, Mom!!! LOL!

TFL!

2 Sketches 4 You Weekly Challenge

Wow! 3 posts in one day, and it's not even noon yet! LOL! Here is my card for the 2 Sketches 4 You weekly challenge. TFL!

Pioneer Woman Challenge

On Thursday, PW gave her readers a challenge. It was to get up before sunrise and take some pics as the sun came up. Anyone who knows me knows that this is not my thing. I'm a night owl, not an early bird! Anyway, I took her up on her challenge, made my dearest think I was losing it, and took some great pictures.




Thanks for stopping by, and have a great Saturday!

Shout Out To SheetLoad

Crafty Al has a free monthly ezine, called Sheetload of Cards, that you can get here! She also has a mini, and they are both super inspiration! There are also some great prizes up for grabs! Check it out! But better give yourself some time! These can't be skimmed, you'll want to read them through! Enjoy!

A Z-Fold Card or Two

These are so quick and fun to do! This is Jen's August card challenge at SSZ. I used some BG Two Scoops, the Nestabilities with the Cuttlebug, added some ribbon, blooms and Kaiser bling.
I spent the rest of the weekend being domestic and putting together some entries for the local Agricultural Fair. I'm entering some cards, layouts and some photography.

A Catch-Up Weekend

Good to get home for the weekend and 'nest' for a bit. I was tidying up my SB room and found this pic that was calling out to be scrapped. I did a bit of vignetting on PSE to highlight the happy swimmers. It fit right in with Jess' DT 'Catch the Wave' challenge, so I found some BG Archaic that worked great. I cut along the waves and popped a row of waves with popdots. Added a couple of little embellishments (the little metal tag reads "priceless") and a sprinkling of stickles, and voila'! Thanks for looking!

2008 August Long Weekend - Over!

We are just home from a wonderful weekend at the Big Valley Jamboree in Camrose. We got to see a some old friends and listen to some great music. We had a wonderful time! I'll get to scrapbooking some of the photos from BVJ in the near future! For now, I am looking forward to seeing my gs' when they visit tonight!

Now it's back to reality. Checking up on blogs, I found that Carla has offered some awesome blog candy on her blog http://moralia.wordpress.com/ this week. Go have a look at her gorgeous layouts and cards, then leave her a comment to win it!
