Long time no blog! It's been a busy month and a half and I think you all will forgive me. I've wanted to post some pics from Colorado, but my camera is broken and we're still waiting for the box to ship it off to camera hospital so.....

You'll have to settle for a simplistic scrapbook page I created today! Sorry, the scan is kind of washed out and grainy, so you'll have to use your imagination a little. I was inspired by some scrapbooking goodies I got for a bridal shower gift and some stuff on Ali Edwards' blog so I just decided to dive right in! I put the words on this photo in Corel Painter, adapted the flower (which is a download from Ali) in Photoshop and then put it all together using Ali's idea of a simple blank white background seen here.

It is so simple but it is really satisfying (it took up a surPRISING amount of my afternoon....) so I am very pleased and excited to explore this method more. Now the trick will be to find an 8.5x11" albumb that i like before I create too many pages in this layout!

It's been a full day:

1 month wedding anniversay
tornado warning (take shelter!)
3 essay exam
make yogurt
make ice cream
explore the nearby city of Fort Collins as a little anniversary date
Scrapbook and play on the computer

I think it's time for a little dessert and then bed!
Hopefully I'll have more blog posts this month than last, but i can't promise much since they keep me so busy in my Grad studies!

Farewell!
