New Layout

This is the layout I created this weekend. It's a total scraplift of Lizz Parson's layout that was published in the Paperkuts book called Pet Friendly that came out a month or two ago. She used the Lollipop line of Basic Grey papers, while I used the Skate Shoppe Line. I also inked all the monographs and the tag with All My Memories chocolate ink (which took forever!) The journalling talks about how Callie acts like a dog sometimes: coming when John whistles, begging for table scraps and greeting visitors at the door. I LOVE the way this turned out!!

Photo editing

I recently received copies of some great old pictures of my mom's family from my Aunt Genny. I'm so happy to have these and look forward to scrapbooking them soon. A few of them had some tear marks or scratches in them and I've been trying to edit them to take out some the blemishes. I was really happy with the one of my grandma's family where I was able to remove a large tear and I just finished this one of my grandpa. I just noticed a crease mark still in the middle so I might go back and try and fix this but I'm really happy with the results. Not bad for an amateur. :-)

More Scrapbooking

Actually spent some time scrapbooking Saturday night. One of the discussion boards I frequent had an online crop where we all chatted on our computers while we scrapbooked. It was lots of fun!! I didn't get a lot done but I did finish the page to the left of John and Callie. It was a very simple layout but I love the colors and the little MEOW license plate.
