Grumpabella

Here is a card I made a couple of days ago. I'm not really happy with how it turned out, but it is okay.... The stamp is grumpabella, CTMH paper, Heidi Swapp acrylic flower, alcohol inks, petaloo flowers and me and my big ideas bling. I really want to get some Copic markers, but I'm a little nervous about getting started with them. Do you really have to use special paper?

The scanner on my hp all-in-one isn't working - it says the software needs to be re-loaded before it will work again. Of course I can't find the software and we are on dial-up so I can't exactly download it. What a mess. So you will get pictures of cards and physical layouts taken on my dining room table until I magically figure out how to fix my scanner. :)

We moved the horses home!!

We finally moved our horses home from my mom and dad's. They have been at their house for almost a year, and Steve and I have been going back and forth twice a day to feed them. It is going to be so nice to just go out the front door, down the terrace and toss them some hay. Hurray!

This was one of the first digital scrapbook pages I made. :o) I used the free rough and tumble kit by Sande Kreiger from Two Peas in a Bucket.

Today I had the day off, which worked out wonderfully! Can you say four day weekend! :) My niece and I went to The Dalles, OR and did a little bit of shopping. The plan is to make some tie dye t-shirts a little later this evening. We also stopped at a couple of local scrapbook stores: The Picture Patch and Treasure Your Memories.

I took a few pictures of various places I drive by all of the time, because it has recently occured to me that everything changes, and being able to remember things accurately would be wonderful... the photo is of some windmills in Oregon, taken from the Washington side of the river. They are a fairly recent addition to our landscape, but more are being built all the time. The Columbia River Gorge is know for it's windyness, so I guess it's only natural to put the windmills here.

My first post!


How exciting! I'm not sure how to blog, but I am going to give it my best shot - please check back with me again! :)
