The barn at St. Francis

A barn we travel past twice a week. It sits on an intersection of two secondary highways and I've taken hundreds of photos of it. Winter, Spring, Summer, and Autumn. I just can't seem to get enough of this old baby. She's a real beauty.

To create this I used a technique called Digital Watercolour Painting by Jan Walker at Digital Scrapper.

Queen Anne's Lace

I did this for a 'Scrap Your Flowers' challenge over at Digital Scrapper. I loved that this butterfly landed on the white Queen Anne's Lace - so fitting.

Project 12 - February 2011

What do you love?

For our challenge at Digital Scrapper we were to scrap anything we love - people, things, anything. Well, of course I love my family above all else but I decided to scrap a thing. Partly because I didn't know where to start or stop scrapping the people I love! So, here is my sitting room. Doesn't it look peaceful? Well, it is, and I love it. I wish I was there. I want to have the same feeling wherever I am. Right now I am looking at my office in our home in the city and what I see and feel is utter chaos. Stacks of photos, papers, crafts, cards, picture frames, camera stuff, albums - projects, projects, projects! I really need to get a handle on it and today is the day I start. Simplify, Simplify, Simplify. "Have nothing in your homes that you do not know to be useful and believe to be beautiful" William Morris. My spring cleaning begins today.

Now here's my layout with the proud bird!

Project 12 - January 2011

Yes, January isn't over yet but I needed to create a layout as part of my duties as a Creative Team Member at Digital Scrapper. We are having a fun challenge called "Project 12" where we are making a layout that recaps each month. I have the pleasurable duty of being the cheerleader for this project so I needed to get a layout finished and up in the gallery. I didn't have trouble finding photos because I only took about 628 while on our cruise!! I kid you not . . . then I filled in the last four with things that are scheduled for the next two weeks. I spent HOURS creating this but now I'm set for the next eleven months because I'm going to use the same template each month. I have visions of February and Valentine photos dancing in my head . . .
