Photo Shoot

Over Christmas break my two nieces asked me to photograph them. They are 16 and live halfway across the country from each other but for once happened to be visiting at the same time. Although, it was absolutely FREEZING that day, we had a blast and got some great shots. Here are a few of my favs.

Layout sketch

Here is this week's layout sketch for Scraptopia's layout challenge. I had fun making this one!

Layout inspiration

A friend who is getting married showed me this photo of what she wants her wedding cake to look like. This beautiful cake is such inspiration to me to create a scrapbook layout but I have a little boy!!! I'm desperately trying to figure out how to make this work anyway...any suggestions?

New Year's Sketch

Here is the layout that I sketched out for my New Year's Eve pics. Hopefully sometime soon I'll get a photo of the actual layout up. Enjoy!

Okay so I know that I am far from perfect but somehow is irks me to no end when I see obvious spelling errors and typos on beautiful and carefully crafted cards and scrapbook pages. Maybe I'm completely alone here but it just seems to me that it takes away from the beauty of the object. How many times have a I seen "your" when they mean "you're" or "its" when it should be "it's?" I always keep a dictionary and a thesaurus handy when crafting. Somehow I just don't want all my silly grammar mistakes passed down for all generations to see and cringe about. What do you think? Is it wrong of me to want to help people by correcting them? I don't want to be a know it all...
