This trip is what really started me off on my "Scrapping" journey!

Still Here!

Hi from Alaska!

I am digi scrapping again! Sitting here in Anchorage with great scrapping supplies, but still no sea shipment . So, it is just easier to sit at the computer and play with no mess! Still working on *e*'s Deck of Me, and I got myself all caught up last week. Those are posted on tearoses.

Both of these pages use free kits found on Two Peas in a Bucket and Kirsty Wiseman's blog. There are some great freebies out there!

Hey Bonnie!
I got on and will be posting later! This is a great way to see what each other is doing!

Digi Me Too!

I have been busy digi scrapping ever since I realized there were soooo many free kits out there. The kits for these 2 LOs were both downloaded for free from CK. I have used Microsoft Picture It for years and have now progressed to Digital Suite. So far, all that I have downloaded work one way or the other with my software. Yea! The halloween kit is Rhonna's and I am not sure about the other.

As Bonnie already said, I could never give up playing with paper, and therefore I have been working very hard on my Italy pages. To tell you how far behind I am , this trip took place in March , 2005! I love the mess and the texture of handson scrapping!

I am also posting Week #4 from Emily Falconbridge's Art Journal challenge. Her prompt was "a symbol that you love". Guess what mine is!!! Thanks for your comments! *c

Goin' Digi

Just kidding - I could never leave my paper supplies for long but creating this was so cool. Joe installed my new PSE5.0 yesterday and I needed to crop a few pics today. I almost went to my old program because I know it but decided there was no time like the present to give PSE a try. It was so easy to crop, resize and save for the web that I decided to try a digi layout. It has been on my want to learn list for a long time so I am so excited that I got my first one finished in an afternoon. I used Rhonna Farrar's free June kit at 2'peas. The layout looks really simple compared to what I would normally would do but I spent all afternoon on it. The thing that took the longest was the chipboard accent. It was bare to start with and I had to figure out how to add all the accents and text to it. Overall I am very pleased with my first attempt. I have more pics from our putt-putt golf outing so hopefully on page 2 I'll learn how to create a journaling box.

Let me know what you have been up to.

Use your stash!!!

I love using new things and all of these layouts have at least one new - never used item on them. They are all using papers from the January 2006 Scraptivity kit and are from our trip to the Isle of Skye in April of 2005. New items used: Duntulm Castle: the stone stamp - by STA Designs; Bearreraig Bay: Journaling Line stamp from Purple Onion Designs; Coral Beach: Notes from today stamp from Cats Life Press. When we went to Duntulm Castle we had gale force winds and to get to the castle we had to walk along the edge of a cliff - VERY scary. On the day we went to this castle we had all the possible weather conditions except heat and midge swarms - there was sun, clouds, mist, rain, sleet, snow, hail and gale force winds. The Bearreraig Bay pictures were taken on the same day as the castle. I'll have some more Skye layouts to show you soon.
