iPhones and the App store are the best!

I don't know what took me so long to get an iPhone. The things this thing will do are amazing. Right now, I'm using Glue to post to my very neglected blog. Hopefully being able to post from my iPhone will help me post more.

EDIT: Well, Glue isn't working that great for me. It's posting the titles for the posts, but I'm having to manually add the text for the entry. Now that defeats the purpose of posting from Glue. Maybe they can get that corrects, so I can use it.

Still testing

Too Much Tea...

Drinking a couple glasses of sweet iced tea at dinner, leads to blog posts at 1:22 am. I knew I shouldn't drink them. But they were so good.

Since I'm up, here's a page I did for my www.shimelle.com class. Shimelle offered up a challenge to use pattern paper, metals, ribbons and cardstock on a page.

So here's mine.
(The cardstock label holder was cut from scraps and I've had it for at least 4 years.)

Use all the supplies from this week on a page.

Supplies: Cardstock - Bazzill; Pattern paper - Basic Grey; Ribbon - Michaels; Letter stickers, metal snaps and brads - Making Memories; Die Cut Label Holder made from Bazzill cardstock and Sizzix Die

I only use this blog to document Shimelle classes.

I think the title says it all. I only seem to post when I'm doing a class with www.shimelle.com

I'm taking this one right now.



Here's the layouts I've done so far.

Bought a Cricut

I finally broke down and bought a Cricut. It was all the fault of the Gypsy. That little handheld computer thing broke my resolve. But I'm very pleased with my purchases. And I've been able to make some turkey photos mats to use with Mark's hunting photos.

I've been soaking up a lot of Cricut info. And www.aboverubiesstudio.com was a great start. It has a great cutting guide. It makes cutting all the different mediums such an easy task. No having to waste paper because you didn't set the blade deep enough. Go poke around the site and watch the nice videos there.

I'm off to play with my Cricut a little more.

Day 1 - LSNED

Digital Kit - Caldera by the Queen of Quirk
Word Art by Shimelle Laine

My first page for my September class, "Learn Something New Everyday" It's only half finished. I'm going to add traditional supplies to my digital page when I get them printed.

This page is going to be about learning new technology. DH and I just added text plans to our phones. And I set up a Facebook page for him today. He's so behind on this type of stuff.

Another Shimelle class

It seems that the only time I post regularly on this blog, is when I'm in a Shimelle class. I just haven't been able to make blogging into a habit. Maybe I can make it a habit during this month long class.

It's time for Learn Something New Every Day. A super fun class with Shimelle Laine. I'm going to try to post my pages everyday. I'm doing my project digitally. I can't wait to get started. I should have my first page done later today.
