photos taken el man-ual

Talk about weather change, these are all within the same week.

Long shot...

While crusing around blog land I ran across a design team call for a new sketch site PAGE PLANS. These are my entries.

Mustang Sally lives in the Electric City...and don't forget the laundry!

This was a huge cloud that I had to snap a photo of while driving to a geneology meeting with my Grandma Mac. Mustang Katy watches her BIG SIS Remick play a softball game (which they won). And learning about custom white balance with 2peas this week! Oh yeah and the fact that I need to tackle my laundry. I have been working on my Aunt's Disney Cruise Album, my Mom's Horse Album, Miss Arizona 2007's album, and my Sister's Wedding Album, of course and the Mustache Book. I will share my progress once I get a handle on it all! I can't seem to stick to one project all the way through, I get bored. I need drama, stimulation and chaos to feel normal I have decided. I don't sit down and finish a page, I let it marinate over a night or two then put it all together. So more on that soon!

Inspired insomniac

Another color challenge from KWERNER. Not much stamping going on here, I got really sick with a stomach flu last night- yuck. Well I slept all day so I guess I will stamp all night! Not a bad trade off until the alarm rings in the morning!

Where is your happy place?

By the way I am famous today, well my card is. Go ahead and see if you can find it here. I wonder if Wayne the cat likes the fact that he is famous with my little cousin Katy? I am sure he was going to his happy place right then!

Why they call it BIG SKY COUNTRY!

You can see weather coming from every angle and I love it. I had to walk in some mud to get this shot. But what a wicked tree and clouds huh? Wicked cool. Alright enough with the wicked.

Inspired in an instant!

Checked out KWERNER's color challenge once I got home from my Aunt and Uncle's house and was IMMEDIATLY inspired. Here is my quick card of course made from my stash of left over scraps!

Photography week one...

The Two Peas week one for 12 weeks to better photography is learning about Aperature Priority. I took a picture of this berry bush. I really like learning more about my camera and being able to control what my camera sees. Ah, control! Here's to better photos for better scrapbooking!



My cousin Shane is quite the dancer, I go out and watch him dance. This time I brought my camera- he flips and twirls all the girls! Too bad my ACL is torn and I can't get out there as well. It is quite a rush.
Guy in great jacket walks up to Lindsey sitting at the bar.
Guy in great jacket: "Would you like to dance?"
Bum leg Lindsey replies: "I have a torn ACL" (said while rubbing her knee)
Guy in great jacket: "That's a great excuse" (walks off in disgust)
Poor little fella.

$1 ribbon + SU! set = priceless!

Had to use this Michael's dollar ribbon. Need to rethink the glue though. I have been scrappin' and creating some video tutorials (need some upgraded equipment though). I need to also take some more time while paper piercing. I got a little outta line on this baby.

What the sketch... there are a lot of color combos!

SCS color challenge 88 and sketch challenge 168. I have waited a long time for this set, it was the right place and the right time.


I like the simplicity of this bad boy. SCS color challenge 52 and SCS sketch challenge 143.


SCS color challenge 79 and sketch challenge 164. The sentiment was wrote with a pen and covered with red stickles.


SCS color challenge 59 and sketch challenge 152.

Sunset... a color challenge

This card is for my friend in Arizona. I used i{heart}tostamp's sketch. And SCS color challenge #17
This card uses SCS color Challenge #113. And will be used to thank my uncle for dragging all of my stuff up to Montana.


This pictures were taken at the Missouri River- gorgeous isn't it!? Well I had a massage yesterday from my aunt and once I laid on her table she said, I have all day do you. My back and shoulders screamed YES! Ran some errands, had a milkshake, took a hard nap, life doesn't get better than that!

Rockin' the scrap bin!

Found this certainly celery scrap in my certainly celery scrap folder. Thought this would make an interesting layout. I just can't throw things away, but let me tell you they are starting to add up to a big mess. So here is a card in movement of that. I also had to try out the ole' CTMH stamps I got too! This is SCS Color Challenge 38.

Been creating some cards, but have yet to photograph them. Although I did take 103 photos yesterday! I am really trying to take more photos. I really want to take the 2peas photography class. Perhaps I will print out the 12 week course and really perfect my love of photography! 12 weeks from today.....go!
