Speedy Gonzales....

NOT! I've been working on about 3 different layouts and not one is the way I want it >:-(

But I digress....looking forward to fall in the worst way!!! ;-) I have the potential to be doing some really great and exciting things.....but....well, I have no control over any of it and that's very hard for me ;-) Just sitting here waiting....tapping fingers...and planning....it's the power of positive thinking, and I tell you...I'm just givin' 'er!!! LOL

Anyhoooooooo...the latest: Kids are spawn, life is good :-) Thing 1 and Thing 2 are a year and a half now, I can't believe it!!! I just bought them Dr. Seuss Thing 1 and Thing 2 Halloween costumes!!! *BEAMING*

Drama queen has recovered from her surgery and is in tip-top shape, I'm happy to report!! Still full of drama, but that I can deal with (or at least lead people to believe I can!!)

Oldest is full of pre-teen laziness...right on track ;-) I did this layout of him because I could. Seriously. Getting a decent picture of him NOT playing video games is a feat of gargantuan proportions!!!

AND....I scanned it :-) This is a big deal for me. NOW I will submit like wildfire...they may not ever use any of mine, but I tell you this...they will eat, sleep and breathe my name...baby steps. ;-)

Also, I used Photoshop CS3 to alter the main photo of him...see if you can pick out what I did!!!

Back at it....PHEW!!!

I was seriously getting behind....who would think?? But I have two less daycare kids this week, and I can bribe the one I have left with craft time :-) Life is good.

So, for the first....I don't like it. It didn't turn out the way I'd wanted, and of COURSE because I haven't figured out how to $#@ scan...it looks too dark. Whatever. There were two things I wanted to pull off...one, the Autumn Leaves "Stampology" edges acrylic stamp (say that 10 times fast) and two, the photo...the "selective colouring" in Photoshop. LOVE it.

The second I had SO much fun with....the "Frenzy" line by Whiteout...used Photoshop to do the half circle journalling for the first time. COOL.

Cheers to new-found mojo ;-)
