I’m here… just going crazy trying to bust through a bunch of digital lo so i can get them uploaded for a couple photo books by friday. yes, friday. My goal is 60 pgs and i have between 30-40. I don’t have a set number because i’m not sure if I’ll use all the ones I’ve made (some are my first cracks at digi and I want to re-do them but not sure of the time). Then, of course, there’s the quickpages. I used to think they were an easy way out of being creative, but oh lordy are they helpful. Of course, there are only a couple I left as they were. I like to add stuff!
Anywho, here are a couple pages I’ve done recently. I also have a couple fun projects in progress. I can’t wait to show you guys!
ETA:
ooo, and a few other things…
Hey all you digital scrapbookers! One of my friends, Andie Smith, is joining the talented design team at Inspiration Lane on MONDAY!!! I’ve seen her new stuff and you will absolutely LOVE to play with it!
Here are a couple pages I made tonight… consider them your sneak-peek.
Oh, and I got a new haircut! Forgive the horrible picture. Those dark circles under my eyes are killing me but i wasn’t about to put on makeup to take a photo of my new haircut! 
For full LO credits, see them on flickr.
Oh, and don’t forget to go to Inspiration Lane Monday to get your hands on Andie’s new designs! While you’re there, check out Holly McCaig’s kits. They are AWESOME. And, if you make ANY purchase this month, you get a killer bonus kit for free!

While I still think there isn’t anything quite like playing with paper and glue… I gotta say I’m totally digging digital scrapbooking. Here are a few more layouts.
I have so much to blog about! I am very behind here but will try to catch up.
Let’s see… my camera repair (which i thought would be covered under warranty) will actually cost half what I paid for the thing a year ago so I decided to just deal with a camera whose flash isn’t working for the time being. I guess I’ll just use my mom’s P&S or dad’s SLR for now. I had hoped my next electronics purchase would be a new WACOM tablet (so I don’t need to keep my brother’s held hostage) but I guess that will have to wait. At least I got my 500GB external hard drive before I got the camera news. It’s so nice to have the freedom of hard drive space. Esp. since, gasp, my laptop only has a 60GB hard drive. Don’t ask how i’ve pulled that off but now there is no need to clean out the hard drive anymore. Just transfer to the external!!!
Work has been challenging. We were recently sold and just today I finally got some solid information about our benefits package. Now, I at least know how much it will cost per paycheck. However, I still don’t know what doc visit copays or deductible will be. Trying not to freak out about it… but when you get sick or hurt yourself as much as I do, you want to know these things. I also have to figure out what to do with my 401K… eh, I’ll leave that for another day.
I am still working on typing up my Guatemala journal entries and hope to finally post them soon. In case you still haven’t seen my pictures, check them out here.
Speaking of Guatemala, I’m finally doing some digiscrapping and am testing it out with pictures from my trip last month. Here are a couple of my layouts:
As you can see, I’m not really the gawdy throw-a-ton-of-shatty-embellishments-on-a-layout kind of girl. Personally, I think some people go way overboard in their digiscrapping. But I also think that the photos from this trip deserve the opportunity to stand out and speak for themselves.
Let’s see… what else?
Oh, I need to find time to upgrade the blog to the new version of wordpress and FINALLY finish customizing this theme, widgets and linky love in the sidebar.
But I guess that’s it for this post anyways… next up: CHA and COOK!

I’m calling it green vintage grunge. It’s 12.5×12.5 inches so there is a little room for bleed if you’re using it for a photobook.
All I ask is that you let me know if you use it and send me a link of it in action. Then I might feature it on my blog!
