Dabbling in Photography...

Last week, our dear friend Anthony loaned me his older model Canon DSLR to "try out"....

You see, I have been debating on whether or not I need to upgrade from my point & shot (hmmm...) after very little practice I can say that I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the DSLR...

I'm still on the basic functions of the camera; however, I can see us becoming fast friends!!!

Here are a few pics that I have taken over the last week.

Each day I learn something new and cannot wait to explore all the functions.

Now, I need to start saving for my upgrade, so PC please stop coming out with new carts!!!!

A Dream Come True

This week over at Platinum Scraps, the designers were asked to create a LO using this super cute Pencillines sketch

Right away, I had the perfect LO in mind... While on vacation in April, my 5 year old neice stated that we had made all her dreams come true by allowing her to meet Princess Tiana... She was truely overjoyed and speechless (which is no small feat for this little lady)!

Supplies Used:

Felt Fusion

PS- Prince Frog has not been drinking, he is just loopy in love with Princess Tiana!!!

Naughty Coupon Book

Yep, you read the title correctly... Every now and then I like to explore my naughty side (okay, just joking but I thought this idea was too cute not to duplicate, thanks LauraH)... So for our 9th. anniversary I decided to throw in this oooh so naughty coupon book as one of my husband's gifts!!!

A couple coupons didn't make the blog b/c they were a bit too racey!!! Oh, the wonderful things you can do with SCAL...
