Finally a new page!

I finally got a page done! I am so far behind on my monthly album! Last year I kept up really well with it but this year seems to be opposite. Hopefully one of these days I can sit down and turn out a few months worth. Love the blue green color on this one. I thought it really set off the pictures. Thanks for peeking!

Prima goodness

Prima put together a grouping of some of their fav products. I love this display! Not only are the products wonderful, but I love the neutral tones of everything they picked out! Very inspiring and beautiful! Check it out.

New stuff

I know, I know, I have been really bad about posting. I really haven't been on the computer too much lately. And, when I am, it's just for a short time. We've been pretty busy with outside stuff, especially golfing! I have also been using some of my time to follow an online Photoshop course. I am learning a lot of cool stuff. That's why I am posting. To show some really cool photos that I edited and jazzed up using techniques I have learned. I am so excited to do this with more photos that I take. Please leave me comments on what you think. Thanks!

Check out Hero Arts

Hero Arts is a pretty cool stamp company. I really like their products and their designers. I can always get inspiration on their blog and website. Well, they are giving themselves a makeover and along with that they are having a big giveaway! So, I am posting about it here, to help give myself a chance to win. And, to help advertise their cool site of course!

Look Up

Did you see my new header at the top of my blog?!  Isn't it totally cool?  My wonderful and very talented hubby designed it for me!  With a little of my help too.  I Love it!  Thank you to him for being patient with me and helping to make a cool design!  

Good things to reflect on

Ali did this on her blog the other day. She got it from the Simple Woman's Day Book. Today Cathy Z decided to copy the sentence starters and fill out her answers also. Well, if two of my fav scrappers are doing it, I'm gonna do it too!

I'm filling it out at work right now. I think my answers would be different if I was at home.

Outside my window... It is really hot and I am glad I have air conditioning!

I am thinking... I would rather be scrapping or golfing, instead of working.

I am thankful for... my husband.

From the kitchen... tonight we might grill steaks. With that I will probably have some vegies.

I am wearing... my work shirt and slacks.

I am creating... in my head right now. I am always thinking about some sort of project etc.

I am going... to scrap this weekend because hubby is playing golf with some buddies.

I am reading... Jillian Michael's Master your Metabolism and also Scrapbooks Etc. mag.

I am hoping... that it cools off a little outside over the next few days! It is really hot and humid right now.

I am hearing... the radio playing. I always have it on in the background.

Around the house... there are the usual things that need to be done! It never ends!

One of my favorite things... foot rubs from my hubby!

A few plans for the rest of the week... work of course and hopefully get in some golf. And hopefully scrap on Saturday!

Well, that's a little look at me today. This would make good journaling for a layout. I'll post it when I get it done.

My new toy

For my birthday my in-laws gave me a gift card to Hobby Lobby. Thank you again! I used it to get myself a Bind it All and some accessories! And, I love it! The bind it all is a cute little machine that punches holes in paper/chipboard/etc. and then you insert the wires and it clamps them down. Then you have a wire bound beautiful little book or whatever you created!! It's awesome! I thought it would be hard to use but it really isn't. I really enjoy making mini albums and this will help me to make them even neater! I can use this for a lot of my scrapping stuff. Plus, I think there will be other uses too. Denny can maybe even use it for some of his jobs. Pretty awesome! Check it out!
