Back to scrappin'!

I've returned! The computer problems are (almost) fixed! Peter's got all my files onto a laptop he got from his dad and fixed up.. it needs more memory, but otherwise works great! So I took it for a test drive tonight and made this cute LO! (And yes, I used the same kit in this LO as I did for my blog BG! Haha, I love Erica Zane..) The computer problems will be even more fixed one Peter builds the new computer, and installs wireless into the laptop - then I can scrap from the living room while watching TV! That will be awesome! I'm just happy that I can scrap again!

Busted...

Peter has been working on the computer. It's got a virus and the hard drive needs to be wiped clean. He moved all of my important files (LO's, pictures of the baby, and scrapbooking kits) to an external hard drive last night.. Unfortunately, I'm unable to scrap until further notice. That means I probably even have to miss Melanie's speed scrap tonight! I'm so bummed!! Hopefully everything will be fixed soon...

Project 365 LO's...



I'm way behind on making my LO's for my Project 365 pictures. There are two reasons: 1) I have to edit all the photos still, and that's time consuming, and 2) While I do love what I came up with for my January pages, I'm not 100% sold on it. I like how simple and clean it looks, but I think it'll make for five boring weeks of LO's. I need something more to make each week stand out just a little. I'm going to keep the pictures along the top in squares, and I want to keep the calendar and tab elements pretty much the same. I'll probably use those elements all year long. February's LO's will be on a pink BG and I'll think of a new way to align the pictures.. But anyway, I need some ideas for how to make each week a little different so it's a bit more visually interesting.


Anyone have any ideas??

Welcome to my new blog!!


Well, I've done it. I decided that if I really want to be on the Scrap Matters CT, I've got to get more serious about my digital scrapbooking. That means doing a lot more scrapbooking during the week (I'm shooting for around one LO per day), trying to do as many of the SM challenges as I can, and looking for tips and ideas as much as possible. I'll be posting LO's and hopefully more in the next months for your viewing, and critiquing pleasure. I'm trying to get better at this, so I may ask for advice or tips, and I plan on linking tutorials and great sites as I figure this stuff out some more! Enjoy your stay!
ps: the pic is of my most recent LO for the Road to Scrap challenge, and I loved how it turned out!
pps: do you love my blog background I designed???
