Using my Notch tool


Since the word "hybrid" is all the rage - in both the 'real' world and in the 'scrapbook' world, I've decided to incorporate a little more hybrid action into my pages. I drew the lines for the journaling block in Photoshop Elements and then used a brush to make the gray flourish at the top. I used my Basic Grey notch tool to tuck the journaling behind the stamped brown flourish. This layout came out totally different from the original, clean-cut design I had imagined. I love it when that happens.

My MRA results came back with flying colors. Actually, the neurologist used the word "unremarkable". This is probably one of the only times in my life where I'll be happy to describe myself as such.

Sadly, I didn't get to run the Red Poppy 5K with my dad this morning. Mother Nature swooped into central Texas in all her stormy glory bringing with her hail, flooding and a rapidly dropping temperature. It's probably all for the best. My sinuses have been driving me me snotty and I think my ears are infected. But I don't know. They hurt, and they're popping a lot. Is that an infection? I suppose a visit to Dr. Douglass is in my future.

Babies are napping and Jack's at a friend's house. I think I may play around with my
Simple Scrapbooks Digital Designs 2 book and nab a few more tools under my belt.

Oh - and this year, I am going to try out for the Memory Makers Masters contest. Entries aren't due until July, so I have plenty of time to create more masterpieces. =)

It is fun to see your layouts. I miss crop nights and haven't scrapped traditionally for a long time.

Glad the MRA came back negative. Good news.
