Another Season of Pollen

So we are entering the Spring 2010 season in full force, or at least when it comes to allergies. I will admit that had I taken my Doctors advice I wouldn't be dealing with a runny and stuffy nose, itchy eyes, sneeze attacks and irritated throat. Now I fight it and am taking everything I can so that I can gain control over this mucus madness. Not only is it annoying but we will be leaving for a camping trip in a few days. 

The nice piece of this season is that we are now on Spring Break! Yea....it is official. The past few weeks have been hectic, as life always is. I had a couple of photo projects at work with very little time to complete them. They all got completed and turned out great. I was definitely pleased as well as the big man. 

I started my break a little early yesterday by going with Deja's 5th grade class to the Ft. Worth Museum of History and Science to participate in their CSI exhibit. Talk about super cool! The kids loved it. It was great and quite the experience for them. We spent that afternoon with my niece, Sofia, at the park. Talk about a treat...she is just so cute and has quite the personality. We closed the evening off with the AISD art exhibit where my oldest niece, Alex, had two pieces displayed. Way to go Alex! I think Sofia enjoyed it too. 

So today I rested, partly due to the "may cause drowsiness" side-effect of allergy meds. 

Fun and Funky's Pink Spring Flower Layout

Simple, simple Pink Spring Flower layout, 5x7. Another quick layout I made while playing in PSE today. I know there are so many more elements that are fun to scrapbook with but I am still learning how to make my own. I have used many freebies from Shabby Princess that I love but still want to learn how to design my own. Anyhow...here is a simple 5x7 layout that can be turned into any fun project you want for the Spring.

Creamy Boy Birth Announcement

Here is a simple baby boy birth announcement I created today. It is simple because I am still trying to learn how to "design" and create elements to use digitally.

Sofia's 1st Birthday

So our youngest member of the family turned 1 a couple of weeks ago. It's hard to believe that a year has already flown by. Her personality is shinning strong and she is a strong little girl. If she wants something she is going to make it known and isn't going to give up until she is satisfied. Everyone in her house was sick the week leading up to her birthday. I was surprised they went forth with the party but it went well. She was a bit overwhelmed but what other little person isn't with that many people crowding their home.

Opening gifts was pretty typical for any 1 year old. She wanted to play with something right then and there. It didn't matter if there were 50 more gifts to open. Now the cake...that was funny. She didn't hesitate and dove right in. She had the best time digging into her personal Red Velvet cake by Red Oven, her dad's special request.

Fun and Funky's Blue and Brown

This morning I woke up determined to create something to share. I will admit that I didn't put a lot of time into this so it is fairly simply. I love to create invitations and usually prefer 5x7s when making them. This is why I decided to create a 5x7 paper. I may use this for a project but I hadn't decided yet...first priority was to share something. This paper won't look good blown up so I wouldn't go bigger than 5x7 when you use it.

Have fun creating!

Some friends wanted to know how to create a layout so I am posting one here for them. I am just learning how to use Photoshop for digital scrapbooking but am having a fabulous time doing it.
