Simple Pleasures

Well, on this fair New Year's Eve, I've been messing around with different functions in PSE, trying to learn more about it so that my scrapping just gets better. There are some great PS tutorials on Jessica Sprague's site -- the Photoshop Friday index. Here's what I've been working on (this is the original photo):

Goodbye 2009 and a template

Wow, it's been a crazy couple of days. A week ago today was Christmas Eve, and let me tell you...it got a bit scary at my house. Around 9:00 pm my daughter called me to tell me she was on her way home for Christmas, and about 15 minutes later I got another call from her, not on her phone, saying that she had rolled the car and wrecked it. She was transported to the hospital, but aside from a concussion, she is ok. But it was still a bit scary.

Of course, I took pictures of the car, which will be in my HIH album (when I finish it). I didn't get any of the pictures from Christmas Eve that I wanted, but mostly because I was sidetracked.

Do you have any resolutions for the New Year? Mine is mostly to have a better outlook on things. This has been a rough year for me, but things are starting to look up. And my plan is to keep it that way! Another of my resolutions is to create more "stuff." Maybe templates, maybe word art, maybe full on kits (we'll see!). But I really love this whole digital scrapbooking thing, and sharing makes me happy.

And as a parting gift to 2009, I created the first in a series of recipe cards. I know many of you will be planning on a new diet in the New Year (as am I--see my new blog "Vegetarian for a Year"), so recipe cards are always nice. I will keep adding completed cards as well--who knew those would be so popular?

So without further ado--Happy New Year!!!
