still trying

I am still getting the hang of this thing - though I'm hanging by threads yet. I am trying to post some pics form Hello. I have learned that png files will not work, drat. Will have to stick to the jpg files I guess with an occassional gif. You know, I never did much of anything with the png format before digital scrapbooking. Now I use it constantly. Gotta love those transparent areas. LOL

Well, it looks like I don't need to use Hello, I just upload from my hard drive. Please be patient as I learn this setup.....

This is another ATC that I made from photos of our trip to Bermuda. A beautiful spot!

Cool Gift Card !

Is this cool or what??? You can customize gift cards! I did this for my Bro. Ha, he has to show them he's now 50, in order to use the gift LOL

Walmart charges $.88 to make the card and then you fill it for the ammount that you choose. It turned out great! I bet his kids got a kick out of it too. (credits for the embellishments are the designers at ScrapOutsideTheBox for the birthday mega kit, LO designed in FotoFusion)

Trying to figure this out

So, what brought me to this place, this blog that is? Digital Scrapbooking. I was checking out some desinger's links and ended up at several blogs. I thought I would give it a try too. Now, if I can just get this thing figured out.............

Let's see if I can insert a photo..... Here is a recent LO I did for Artists Trading Cards. It is based on a song by Casting Crowns "Who Am I"

Various designers' stuff was used to create it:
angie briggs doodles, papers by rdickenson, flowers by LauraHappel
dotted flower by ali, Fonts are Beyond Wonderland and Denise script

It was created with FotoFusion, a great program for quick and easy LOs. I do 95% of my LOs with FF.

Okay, so now you know a bit more about me and what I like to do.

My FIRST posting - aaaakkkk !

gee, what can I say? This is my first and there will never be another first. Does that mean that it is very important that I type something meaningful, insightful, motivational, unique, shocking, revealing, or maybe it should be something funny? Dang, I'm no good at humor.

So I will just leave these words, which are, actually, very fitting for this new beginning:

In the beginning God...................

phew, now that it is started, the stress is off. All the rest of my posting will just be new entries. ya gotta admit, giving God the focus is waaaaay better than my own words
