December Daily update

Just a quick update on my December Daily album. I received my Teresa Collins paper kit (it so cute!). I have started putting the foundation together tonight. I didn't have time to take any pictures but I plan on doing that when the kids are in school tomorrow. I am really enjoying putting this book together. I usually am not good at journaling on my scrap pages, however, I think this book is going to be easier to journal. You just have to remember you are telling a story with each picture that you are placing in the book. (should be easy right?) Well until tomorrow have a wonderful Sunday.

Time Together

Here is my layout from lesson three of Jessica Sprague's online class for Photo Shop Elements called "Up and Running". I just loved putting this layout together and learn so much from this lesson. I have one more lesson left and then I'm on my own. Who am I kidding I fell in love with this online class that Jessica has that I want to take more. Can't say enough on how it has made a difference with my understanding the PSE program better. It's so worth the time and money that I have put out.

On to an update of the old craft room redo. I have finally finished sorting and organizing my paper, I also finished my stickers, embellishments and ribbons now it's onto paints and ink. I'm almost half way done and I can see the light at the end of the tunnel. I forgot to mention that about a month ago I went to my local thrift store here in town and I found an old wooden cassette holder for a whopping two dollars. I plan to use that to hold all my ink pads. I haven't decided if I should embellish it or leave as I found it yet but I will take some picture of the room once I'm done and include a picture of that. I can't wait until I'm done with this redo. I know that I will like this set up way better then my last set up because I've taken the time to label everything. What a concept that labeling things would actually make my life easier who would of thunk it??? Hope you have a great day and thanks for stopping by.

5 Things I love

Here is a layout that I finished from Jessica Sprague lessons that I have been taken online. I just love this program even more now. There is so much you can do with it the possibilities are endless. PSE + PHOTOS = HAPPY CARRIE! Thanks for stopping by.

Mommy's Little Helper

For the longest time I have been looking for classes on Photo Shop Elements and today I have found one. I was surfing the Internet earlier today and stumbled upon Jessica Sprague blog. I was so excited that she was offering on line classes for PSE that I signed up for one of her classes and before I knew I was creating this page below. She makes it sounds so simple to do (and you know what it is thanks to Jessica). I was able to pull of this page within 15 minutes of watching my first lesson. If you are interested in checking out Jessica's blog just clink on my title and you will be directed to her blog.
