ScrapTiffany Sunday Challenge
I’m a bit late getting my ScrapTiffany challenge up for today. I thought the 1st was tomorrow, oops! I spent most of yesterday doing major cleanup on my laptop. I topped the day off with an upgrade to Windows 7, which took hours to complete. At one point I was certain that my computer was toast. But most things are looking fine now.
Of course it can’t be perfect. When I logged into Lightroom this morning, I needed an update that is downloading now. It looks quite large, so I am guessing I will have another day of computer maintenance ahead.
Today’s challenge at ScrapTiffany is Friendships. I did this layout about me and my best friend. I couldn’t do this crazy life without him. Head on over to ScrapTiffany to see what the rest of the design team ladies did.
I finished up my layouts from CKC last night. I am working on a post with an overview of my classes and my completed layouts. I hope to have it up later in the week.
Have a great Sunday!
21 Years Ago Today....
We went on our first date...
So today is our "unofficial" anniversary. I couldn't have it any better.
Ask and you shall receive....I guess
I know I have been complaining A LOT about the heat this year in lovely Arizona, aka 'the oven". We have been hoping for fall, but really?
"Fall"-ing trees???? They said we had winds up to 70 mph in some parts of Chandler. Must have been in our front yard. This is the 4th or 5th tree we have lost in our front yard in this spot. The first 2 died and the last ones were knocked over in storms. We have lived in our house 5 years, and between a severe frost in 2007 that killed a few other trees and the winds, our tree landscaping looks like we have lived here 5 minutes. I want my trees to grow up.
I went on a walk this morning and the only other trees that were lost were in the common areas, no other homes that I saw. Just loving that we get to pay someone to remove the tree and plant another one.
On the upside we may finally be heading towards fall. It should be in the 80's to low 90's for the rest of the week. Hasta la vista 100 degree temps!
Mike took the boys to Snip It's for hair cuts yesterday. They both look like little marines with their short do's.
Here's a card I made for my friend that is coming back to work today after a very long and bad illness. It's a scary thing to think you are going about your normal life your still relatively young, overall healthy and then wham, life stops you in your tracks. I am praying she is back feeling like her normal self soon.
I made this with the new Pink Paislee/House of Three Parisian Anthology paper and trim. I picked up the trims at my LSS last week. I was paying for my other purchases and looked over and saw them peeking out of a box of new stuff that hadn't been put out yet. I asked if I could buy them even though they weren't up for sale. I misted the paper with Tattered Angels. It didn't show up in the picture too well, but it the glossy part of the paper is still creamy off white.
The stamp was found in the dollar bin at Michael's a month or so ago. They had a few "vintage-y" style stamps (birdcage, old fashioned key and old typewriter) that I got as well. Oh and the trim....swoon.
Have a great Wednesday!
