more digi-ry-doings . . .


playing with opacity and drop shadows this time. . .

recipe for disaster . . .

take one hyperactive black kitten, add one blue plastic drinking cup 1/4 full of water, let rest next to two cropper hoppers full of 12 x 12 paper, mix well!!!

Needless to say, this morning I am sorting, tossing, and watching paper warp. Gotta love kittens*



* Disclaimer: I can say this because the CH's were stuffed mostly with old Slabs, had they been full of Bazzill, or Basic Grey, I'd be looking for recipes for cat stew. (j/k)

sometimes it's the little things . . .

the other day Spring teased us with a hint of things to come. I threw open all of the windows, grabbed a book and headed out back. Lying on a lounge chair along side the pool, it was heaven . . . that perfect feeling of the sun warming my face just so, the breeze wafting lightly across my skin bringing with it that warm earthy aroma of the woods. I never even opened the book. . . I just laid there absorbing all the goodness . . . It was like those rare mornings when you wake up and even before you open your eyes, you can feel the sheets caress your body at just that right temperature and texture. Those are the mornings I don't bound out of bed to start the day but instead, savor the moment and remember how good life is. What are the little things that make you sigh in delight?

it started off life . . .

as Paula's cigar box . . . not implying that Paula smokes cigars mind you . . . you don't do you Paula? . . . but there it was, hanging around forlornly in the freebie box at her garage sale. Of course I had to give it a home.

So some sand paper, a coat of paint, some ribbon and paper later, and it is now another home for scrapping goodies . . . thanks Paula!!!

practicing digi . . .

I didn't realize until I cropped this shot and started to scrap it that Kaite's dad was reflected in the background watching his daughter break her board. Can you say p r i d e?
