*blog challenge*

get to know this scrapper...

1. Do you use older product that has been out on the market or do you strictly use new/hot merchandise? I use lots of older stuff, I like all the new stuff, but old stuff mixed with new is fun.

2. When you finish a layout do you put them in albums right away or do they lay on your desk/shelf for months? I have about 40 layouts laying around right now, I think the last time I put some away was in February!

3. Are there several adhesives used on each layout or do you usually stick to one? I use a mix of photo tabs and tape runners on most of my layouts.

4. How often do you get to share your creative pages with people other than immediate family? Not often in person, I share most of my stuff online though.

5. How many people have you made into scrappers? Hmm, tried with a few, but don't think they are still scrapping.

Thanks Amy for the challenge!

Creating Pages Weeks 4, 5, and 6

I've been super busy the last few weeks, so I hadn't had a chance to post links to my layouts for the 8 week series contest at Creating Pages. So here you go:
Week 4 - Use an arrow on your layout. http://www.creating-pages.biz/gallery/showphoto.php?photo=3274&cat=634
Week 5 - Use a quote that was given to us. http://www.creating-pages.biz/gallery/showphoto.php?photo=3298&cat=635
Week 6 - Use American Crafts product. http://www.creating-pages.biz/gallery/showphoto.php?photo=3336&cat=636

Two more weeks and the contest is over. I have been having fun, and have done a few things out of my comfort zone. Can't wait to see what next week's challenge will be.

I have been asked quite a few times what camera do I use. So I thought I would do a quick post about it.
I use a Canon PowerShot G6 digital camera. It is a7.1 Mega Pixels camera. I take all my photos on the highest resolution I can. My only complaint with it, is that sometimes it doesn't focus on what I want it to.

So my next camera is going to be the Canon Digital Rebel. Not sure when that will be, but I have a camera fund started with about $100 in it right now. I just keep adding my change and extra dollars to it when I can. Now if I would just stop going to the scrapbook store and use what I have, I would probably be able to buy it by Christmas. LOL

A great site to check out Camera reviews is http://www.steves-digicams.com/hardware_reviews.html . Every digital camera our family has bought, we have bought based on the reviews here.

We currently own 3 Canon cameras; my G6, my husband has the S50, and my daughter has the A520. The all take wonderful photos.
