Since my scrapping room is gone, and the salvageable stuff is stuck in the garage, I tried my hand at a little digital scrapping. This is the "Harvest Spice" kit from Shabby Princess. This is definitely NOT what I wanted my workroom to look like.....but at least I wasn't in it at the time!

This is what happens when you get hurricane force winds in Ohio (who ever thought that would happen!) This 80 year old oak tree was uprooted and went right through the roof, upstairs, and part of the downstairs. What a mess! But....no one was hurt and that's the main things. Everything else can be rebuilt or replaced!

Another couple of layouts from the GotSketch102 class. I just love these classes - hope Valerie & Janna keep them going! These photos are about 23 years old - my DS in the mini-race cars in Gatlinburg and my DD just being her typical 2 year old self!

Sketches & Recipes by Tamara


This week's sketch was perfect for these photos of my family watching the Hannah Montana 3D concert on the Disney Channel. Don't they look cool on those awesome glasses?

This week's recipe on Tamara's blog was to use lace, flowers, and buttons. This is the card I came up with for the recipe challenge. It's hard to see, but there's eyelet lace with ribbon under the alphabet blocks and flower.

Heritage layout


This layout is of my grandma and my mom, sometime in the early-mid 1950's. This was for a challenge at A Cherry on Top, to make a shaped page. I added the heart-shaped layout to the background later, and think this one will go in a frame.

GotSketch102 - first three layouts

My first three layouts from the GotSketch102 class by Valerie Salmon & Janna Wilson. Two layouts are based on the pre-class warmup sketch, and the other from the first sketch posted today. Fun, fun, fun!




Sketches by Tamara - sketch #60


For this week's sketch at Sketches by Tamara. These photos were taken during a motorcycle trip through the Allegheny Mountains. Experimented a bit with the macro lens on my camera!
