Pen Tablet Class

I recently took a pen tablet class at www.Jessicasprague.com It was really a challenge for me with a steep learning curve. But, I persevered and I have some things to show you. I am doing a yearly 12 layouts, one for each month using a template and a lesson from the class. Here is January, February and March. On the layouts I made stamps, did some free hand doodles and some tracing of objects and then I wrote around the picture block in my own hand writing. I hope to see improvement as the year goes on.


I have also been doing some things with brushes. I will post some of these when I have more.

Since summer is approaching, here is some very important advice for you: Never wear polka-dot underwear under white shorts!

Have a good one.

Easter was so fun for my family

We sure had a great time Easter weekend. We met at Kristen's on Saturday for the egg dying and a great dinner which featured Honey baked ham. We had the egg hunt Easter Sunday and a wonderful breakfast brunch featuring baked french toast. This is a family favorite.

1 loaf sourdough French bread, torn into pieces 8 eggs 8 ounces cream 1-1/2 cups milk or half-and-half
1/4 cup maple syrup
6 Tablespoons melted butterLayer bread and cubed cream cheese in a 9 x 13 baking dish. Mix eggs , milk, maple syrup and melted butter. Pour over bread/ cheese mixture and push down to soak up egg mixture.
Bake at 350 degrees F for 40 t0 50 minutes.
I have made a few layouts. Here they are for your enjoyment:

It's trying to be spring

Today is pretty nice. It was nice earlier in the week but woke up to snow on Thursday morning, enough to cause a 2 hour snowday delay in the school. Will be pretty windy over Easter they say. I have a theory about wind in Flagstaff staff It blows pretty hard whenever the seasons change. I like to say, " It blows in the spring ( or whatever season is approaching. Here is one of my scrapbook pages that I am going to use to enter the Jessica Sprague CT tryouts.


This page is from 2007 and it is one of my favorites from one of my favorite vacations.

Have a great Easter (don't eat too much) and remember:
A cow produces 200 times more gas a day than a person.

Have a good one.
