Well the word is out:  I was lucky and honored to be accepted as a member of the RAKScraps Team!  I've been dancing ever since I found out! Starting something new is always a little overwhelming, but I'm taking it step by step.  Will get started fresh in the morning, working on my part of this month's megakit, and hopefully will have the creative juices flowing enough to make some add-ons to use as raks and prizes during RAK week (Feb 12-18).  Looking forward to working with all of the fabulous ladies over at RAKScraps.com !

thank you for the +fav here --> [link]
Hello, and welcome!
Hi how are you? Thanks for the welcome, as you can tell I don't check my page frequently!
You ever have one of those days where everything you touch, do, say turns to gold?

Well, today, it's just the opposite for me. Going back to bed and bury my head under the sheet.

What else can go wrong today?.............. :tears:
Playing around in PSCS today, following a tut I found on [link] for making Photoshop & ImageReady Backgrounds. This tut utilizes dingbats to make the backgrounds, which is great in itself and can be done in PSE3, but what is totally great in PSCS is a little feature called Open Type Ligature - Ornaments. In PSCS, when this feature is used, the letter you type is automatically converted into a symbol. Had fun with this for quite some time - it's easy to get carried away with learning something new about your program.
Guess I was Chatty Cathy today, huh? Well, don't count on it being a usual occurance, :lmao:. It was purely a fluke!
Well, I guess I should explain a little about why I scrap.

I scrap because
I want to document life's little moments, and the big ones too. I want to share the moment the photo was taken, whether it is my thoughts or the subject's. Sometimes, the photo speaks volumes, for itself.

I scrap because
It provides closure to a chapter of my life more so than the actual picture does since I can add journaling and special ornamentation/accessories to not only embellish the layout, but to also provide a sense of meaning to that particular moment.

I scrap because
It's relaxing and gives me a sense of accomplishment to my somewhat mundane life while being disabled.

I scrap because
It's the only crafts that I can still perform while being disabled, from among the many I once could perform.

I scrap because
I can.
