Playing Catch Up

I am always a step behind. Okay, really its usually 2 or 3 steps, why can't I ever feel like I'm on top of things? Last night I stayed up doing some scrapbooking and finally got 2007's year in review album done. This whole year, I have only actually scrapped about 20 pages. How lame is that? Ugh, so I'm making an effort to spend less time screwing around in Photoshop and more time actually making pages. So to kick that effort off, here is a page I did this morning. The sketh is from Pencil Lines, and I found the kit for free at Summertime Designs. Its her Halloween kit and I really like it. I love the candycorn and pumpkin elements. I also used some items available from Atomic Cupcake.



I think I might try to do one of those slideshow things on the side of the blog that show all my pages for the year. Heh, it won't take too long to upload them all since I'm such a slacker and have only done 20 pages this year. Ugh. Okay, enough procrastinating. Off to scrap.

I went over to a friends house today to walk her through a couple digital scrapbook pages. She has been wanting to get started on this for awhile, they bought the program and a printer, but she wanted to get all the photos she had printed scrapbooked first. She finally got that done, she is such a better woman than I am. I would have just given in and started on the digital stuff. Hopefully she'll keep playing with her program and soon have everything figured out. That is so important when you are scrapbooking the digital way. You really need to just sit down and play with the program to figure it out. People can show you how to do something and give you some ideas but until you start tearing into it, you won't get it. So, in spirit of her scrapbooking, I made a scrapbook page today. Its from our last camping trip. Basic, easy page, but sometimes those are so nice to just get some pictures scrapped.
Girlfriend has gymnastics tonight, and tomorrow is Dudes birthday. He'll be 6! Time goes by so fast. I have to find time tonight to go buy his birthday present. He is really hard to buy for this year. He doesn't have anything hes into right now. I'm gonna go start dinner, I just realized what time it is. I'm gonna give my friends German Pancakes a try tonight. She says her family loves them, I hope mine does to! Have fun.

WooHoo!

Check it out! I figured out how to change it to my image and header! I'm not a complete idiot, and thanks to the people over at The Cutest Blog on the Block, its cute! Okay, so a couple hundred more refreshes, re-uploads and I might end up with something I like!

So far, I'm using a digital scrapbooking kit by Shabby Princess. If you are at all interested in digital scrapbooking you really should check her out. Her work is beautiful! And she offers free kits too! How great is that? Okay, Okay, enough for now. Gonna go learn something new.
