From the Stash and some good news!

My DH rocks my Digi world! Not only did I get ACDSee last week, this week (as we are awaiting two 750 GB hard drives to create a RAID) he's letting me use his EHD so I can create - WOOT!

Kellie Mize - Tortuga Template
Font - Impact and Century Gothic
Photography - ME!

So, this is from the stash...but I am busily creating the last LO in my Digi in Deep class over at JessicaSprague.com. It's a doozy! I got to task 5 last night and my brain was FRIED...and we haven't even got to the photo extraction yet - YIKES!

So, for now, from the stash...but within the next couple of days - SOMETHING NEW!

As for the gossip...there is none to be shared. After almost 7 years, Cherished Scrapbooks is closing. I am saddened that I won't be working with such amazing people anymore.

Thanks for stopping by!

From my stash - again - LOL!

I haven't been able to create much because we need a bigger hard drive! Jessica has us creating these wonderfully complex layouts but they have SO many layers and so much goodness that my hard drive can't handle it! So, I'll be sharing some goodies from my stash for a bit...

Template - Cassie Jones
Papers are from Katie's Catch a Rainbow Series
Brushes - Jessica Sprague and Ali Edwards.

Thanks for visiting!

Goodbye

For the record, this does NOT mean "goodbye" to blogging...you're not getting rid of me that easily...this is just something that I had to do.

More from the stash...

Created last year on Lauren's 13th birthday...she grows up more everyday!

The Apple Blossom Story

Someone special read my blog yesterday and she asked about the "Apple Blossom" that gets signed along with my name after each post. I gave her a brief description in an email, but decided I needed to tell the story in a layout. Here it is:

Background Paper - Lynn Grieveson
Fonts - One Fell Swoop and Pristina
Flourish - A La Mode by Mary Ann Wise

Thanks again for stopping by! Have a great day!

From my stash

I didn't realize I hadn't shared this one yet! And it's just to darn cute to pass up! We were celebrating Scott's birthday, but Jonathan just HAD to be part of the action. Love, love, LOVE this photo of the two of them - PERFECT!

Sara Carling - Red Paper (Dinner Party)
Tia Bennet - Make a Wish seal
Katie Pertiet - Black Paper (BOO! Collection) and Yellow paper (Catch a Rainbow Collection)

I'm trying to get something else up for you later on too...the problem is - UGH! I'm running low on disk space and can't save the darn layout! It's making me NUTS!!!! I need to save it as PSD file (Photoshop's format) before I can do anything else with it. Yes, we have a 250 GB hard drive and yes, it's running out of space - YIKES! Too much digi stuff...that's what it is.

So, be patient...and you'll soon find out why at the bottom of my posts it says Christyne (aka Apple Blossom).

Thanks for stopping by!

S'mores!

The journaling reads:

Scott was just being silly...he said we should turn our comforter into a tent and roast marshmallows and tell stories until the kids came and told us to be quiet. This led to me shopping for the stuff to make S’mores while we were at the store. We had to roast them over a candle, but the results were worth the effort! YUM!

I think I need to find a branch brush to put behind the "S'mores" title and then I can call it done!

Yep! My DH is just that much fun! I ended up buying Wagon Wheels and Whippets while I was at the store that day too...stuff we NEVER have in the house, so it was a pretty special treat. The Whippets are already all gone and at last count, there were 3 Wagon Wheels left. The kids have been instructed to leave those alone because they are for Scott...they keep asking if he's sure he's going to eat them all...little stinkers!

Thanks for stopping in!
