Card #2 and Scrap Matters Speedscrap

I'm on a roll, two days in a row.  Here is the second card in the "It's in the Cards" card series.  I like how this one came out.

They are having a speed scrap at Scrap Matters tomorow. I'm going to try to make it. It's a blast. To check it out, click here. It will be at 2pm Eastern time.

I just cannot get in the blogger habit.  I'm going to try again with a series of cards I've been making for the "It's in the Cards" challenges at Scrap Matters.

Here is the first card I made:

Delayed post - Sprague Week 4

I was delayed because I did not get home from Bunco until after midnight last night.  There was a lot more talking than dice rolling, but I had a good time.

Here is my last layout from the Jessica Sprague "Now We're Rocking Class."  I'm sad that they're all done, but I learned a whole lot.

Scrap Matters Gang - Sprague Week 3 Layout

Well, I'm officially part of the Scrap Matters Gang. This is Scrap Matters version of a welcoming party. So, I'll be participating in the challenge and trying to offer friendly support and encouragement on the forum. I'm excited, because it will help me to keep developing my skills. So, I'll probably try to update the blog a little bit before November 1st, when I'm due to start.

And speaking developing my skills, here's my Week 3 layout from my Jessica Sprague class. Alana and Erica helped me with the idea:

Jessica Sprague Class - Week 2

Week 2 of my Sprague class concentrating on shortcuts and using her template. We used brushes again and also learned to make journal strips. I'm still having a great time.
Here is my layout:

Jessica Sprague Class - Week 1

I'm learning a lot in the Jessica Sprague "Now We're Rocking with Photoshop Class"  Here is my first layout where I learned to:

- use clipping masks

- use a hue/sat. adj layer to make a sepia photo

- use text as an overlay

- use a grunge overlay

Here my first assignment and the coordinating page I made to go with it.

Back to it

It's been a while, a lot has happened.  We had a close family death and that really set me back, but I've been back to scrapping again and will start to post what I've done.  I'm going to try to post a layout a day, since I've done 6 this months and a few the last month.  I should be caught up by the end of the month.
