Quote - Magic

"Magic in our own world is less easy to spot; but one my jobs as a writer is to show that it's there nevertheless, woven into every fibre of the universe."

Walk With Me

I did a second speed scrap today. So much fun!

Speed Scrap

I made this today at my first speed scrap. What's a speed scrap? Well it's the oddest thing! A forum chooses a time to have it. (this one was at 11 am mst) then everybody is on their computer at that time. At 11 we were given our first instruction (this time it was to pick one picture and have it go from edge to edge either vertically or horizontally). Then 10 minutes later we were given another instruction. (this time it was to have a ribbon or stitch go across one or more sides of the pic). Anyway these instructions continued every 10 min. Until 12. Then everybody had 1 more hour to catch up or finish up and then we posted them. Cool huh? I like this because it gives me a chance to do things I wouldn't normally do with scrapping. Great fun!

Quote - Children

"Find joy in your children. Don't overschedule them or yourself. You may not be able to take them on exotic vacations. It doesn't matter. When the day dawns bright and sunny, take an excursion to the canyon or the park. When it's cloudy and wet, read a book together or make something good to eat. Give them time to explore and learn about the feel of grass, and the wiggliness of worms."

Quote - Friendship bridge

"Friendship is the bridge between lonely and loved...It stretches from the fog into sunshine, hopelessness into faith, between despair and joy."

Jaden @ 3 months

Made this for the digital scrapbook challenge. I'm not sure I really like it all that much but here it is anyhow!

Beach Wedding

I did a tutorial for one of my forums on cafemom. I was teaching how to make better chops using coloring and shadows.
See we would have had a great beach reception. A shame we were married in December, but hey now no one has to know!
