I had a fantastic scrapping day today! Everything just seemed to come together so quickly, and in the end, I look at my creations and think, "Damn, that's fine!" LOL!!! I was able to do a 2-page layout, a layout I promised I'd make for a friend, an ATC (artist trading card), and a new avatar. AND I was able to play a bit with my Rebel and got some pretty fantastic shots. Well, of course that's really just my opinion. But then again, it is MY blog. LOL! I'm praying that Blogger isn't being cranky today and will let me post photos to show y'all. I mean, having spent almost the entire day in front of my puter, I think I deserve to show off. LOL!
I'm getting quite antsy about Christmas. I haven't shopped AT ALL. How lazy am I?! Damn, and I hate shopping during the Christmas rush. And I have to start ordering stuff from Amazon already so that my friends from far and beyond will get their gifts before Christmas. *sigh* Please tell me you haven't shopped as well and make me feel better, won't ya?
I'm finally getting Mr. S's iPod on Tuesday. See, I had it shipped to my friend's mom in the US since Amazon doesn't deliver electronics outside the US. Then the mom is arriving here on Monday, and the iPod hitched a ride. Can't wait, can't wait!!! Mr. S has been very ornery the past few days because of work. They've been making him go to work on weekends from 7am till 7pm. It really is a bummer, and he's a tired porky when he gets home. I hope the iPod does its charm and lifts his spirits a bit. Hell, for the price I paid, it had better! LOL!!! Oh, but I'm sure he'll love it!
YAY for Blogger!!! Ok, got my links now, so lemme show you some stuff I've done.
First off, here's a terribly cute layout I did of Chloe using Robin's latest kit, Lil Chick N Friends.

I looove this kit! The little girly faces and the animal characters are just too stinkin' cute! The photo is one I took of Chloe back in October, so that's still using my Pentax Optio S. Man, I can't wait till Chloe visits on Sunday so I can take her photos using my Rebel.
Then here's the 2-pager I did, and I used Tania's latest kit, Mod Retro. A friend of mine at the office is getting married this month, and he emailed me their engagement photos. How cool is it that the photos just matched perfectly with Tania's kit?! The colors in this kit are just gorgeous and I absolutely love how the layout turned out. This is also my take on the sketch and font challenge over at the DigiChick.

This next layout was a quick one! I promised a friend I'd make something for them to celebrate their anniversary. Everything just fit and I think I was done in like 15 minutes or so. And I love how it came out! I used Retrodiva's Pretty mini page kit.

Ok, and lastly (before I head off to bed), here is what I felt was my best shot today. I am extremely proud of this one because I used my Rebel's manual settings. Woohoooo! I'm learning very slowly, but damn, such fun!!!
I have some other shots and I'm thinking whether I should post the photos here as well. Or would that bore the pants off you?? Hmmm...maybe I should just put the photos somewhere else.
Anyhoo, I'm hitting the sack. Have a great weekend!
