lesson #3

The online digi course just keeps getting more interesting and challenging. This was today's lesson. I used pics of our family reunion on Saturday. Cute cousins if I do say so myself!!

ooey gooey butter cake

A big stress on the word butter. Wow. Simple ingredients with an incredible result.

You can find the recipe here, at Family Circle. I borrowed their picture too. I feel like this would be something you'd see on a Paula Deen episode, or over at the Pioneer Woman cooks. Two ladies who are not afraid of butter! I am not really either, although I should be with it being swimming suit season and all.

The weather forecast is dismal today and we are headed to an outdoor family reunion with about 200 people. Hoping for the best on that one. Seems like it could be a rich picture taking opportunity so I have that going for me :)

it's keeping me busy--

but in such a good way! This was the mid week lesson for my class. I have made 3 layouts from this little impromptu photo shoot! I have also been reading Certain Girls, which has been great. I feel like I am exploiting this summer downtime stuff, big time :) Today is a day for the kids though, we are headed to see Kung Fu Panda.

I cannot even believe--

how much info there is to learn in PhotoShop and how I know about 1/billionth of it! This class is extraordinary. This was today's lesson which was packed full of things I would have never, could have never, learned on my own. Super love this circle grid b/c I am a fan of one page layouts, and what a great way to get 5 pics on one page.

trying to be a multi tasker

Today for my PhotoShop class we had an assignment to take a picture today, add the title onto the photo and then scrap it in 30 minutes or less. Got it done as you can see and I really like it. I did not have as good of pics of my kids so I went with the wagon but I got a few of the girls I might make separate pages with. I have also been sewing more change purses, too fun. And in between doing a bit of cleaning for friends to come over tonight. I will be at the grocery at the very last minute it appears. Oh, and the only reason any of this is possible is b/c my girls have been outside and right now a KIND neighbor has them inside for a movie. Lucky me.
