More pics of Charlie

Just a couple of more pics of the little guy we were playing lol and of course had to haul out the camera, in the bottom pic he looks like he is smiling lol

A new addition

now u all are asking your self why would Carol go and get herself a puppy with her busy schedule? Well he is already paper trained, I have a network of friends who are eager to puppy sit when I have to go out of town. I also need to start walkiing when the weather gets nicer.

so all meet Charlie, he is a shitzu/pappion cross. His first nite he only whined when he had to go potty

and went right back to sleep after i praised him. In his own bed lol. 

LIVE YOUR DREAMS.......................

It has been awhile since I actually played in photoshop, first my other laptop cratered, then just didn't have time or the desire to do it. I have scrapped some pages but all with QP's made by someone else.

I did this page using some texture papers from Shadowhouse Creations. Miss Linda had used a texture overlay for one of her pages so I had to go and see what it was all about. He has some awesome stuff there. Just click on the name and you will be redirected there.

The pic is one I took last summer of a house I take pics of at least twice a year.

WA is by me.

Happy Birthday to our favorite southern belle

qp timeless by Manu

I know I am late posting these.......

I was having issues with my internet and computer so was unable to post anything and if I was able to it was brief. I did think of you on your b'day Miss J. I know this year has been really tough on you in more ways than one. But I wish for you another year filled with nothing but happiness and love filled with blessings. Love you my friend

Oh the weather out there is frightful

Well it is bitterly cold out there tonight -38* Celsius which is -36.4* Farhenheit. Not fit for man nor beast. Thank goodness for remote starters for vehicles which are a must have here in the great white north. You can sit in the house and start your vehicle with out having to step out of the house. As well you can set it so it starts every couple of hours so that you dont have to plug the vehicle in another requirement here. I promise I will not send it to you ladies south of the border. But tomorrow nite its supposed to drop down to minus 40 which needs no conversion its the same in Cesius and Farhenheit. Well I better to try and catch some ZZZZZZZZZZZZ's. Have had issues with my other laptop had to purchase a new one. Hoping I didn't lose my photoshop programs, backed everything up and transfered, now just the time to set it all back up.
As my friend from Wisconsin (Linda) always says go and make memories. Enjoy life cause some times it is cut short. But that is a story for another time when I am feeling melencoly.

Happy Thanksgiving

To all my American blog sisters I want to wish you all a very Happy Thanksgiving. Here in Canada we celebrate Thanksgiving in Oct. However I will be thinking of you all today and celebrating in my heart with y'all. Love you my blog sisters

One Happy Mom

This morning while at work I received a text message from #1 son. He has been accepted at NAIT (which stands for Northern Alberta Institute of Technology) for the TV and Radio Broadcasting diploma course. He starts January 11/10. He did this without any nagging or pushing from me. He is ready and is tired of doing a heavy labor job. I am so proud of him for not procrastinating on this and got his portfolio in well in advance.
CONGRATS son. Love you big ole' bunches

? Fall

Fall? Well we had snow early although it is all gone now. However we also had lots of wind, our trees really didn't have a chance to change color before they were frozen and then were blown off by the winds.

We have had not half bad weather in the first week of November. No snow which is great, but I so love the changing colors of the leaves so I went into my external hard drive and found some pics from 2 yrs ago that I took and made a page. I was actually looking for the pics that I took last year when I was in the smokey mountains, the colors are so vibrant there, alas they are buried deep in my 1 terabyte EHD one day soon I will find them LOL

Sweet Isabella

This is my best friends great niece, Isabella, we had so much fun while her mom was pregnant with her going shopping for her we sent enough clothes in different sizes to last her till she was five. However in this pic she is wearing her moms blouse. Isabella looks very much like my girlfriends daughter when she was little. When I saw Linda's latest word art I just had to use it to make a page.  I applied a layer style to it to match the page. Bkg made using a gradient and applying fibers. I used angel brushes by sigrid (that was the only name with it) and applied a layer style to them as well. The wood frame I made with the same technique as the bkg. I made it look like she is reaching for them.

Happy B'day Bob

This is Miss J's hubby Bob. Happy 70 th b'day Bob may you have many happy returns. Enjoy your day

I used a Fall QP by RR_EK. I know I am a day early but wont have time to post tomorrow.

Down in Cow Town

These past few days I have been teaching a workshop for my second job. I am in our rival city it is always our city vs Calgary lol. The hotel I am staying at is right across from the Calgary tower. So I most times have my camera with me and decided to take some pictures of the tower. Of course I am at ground level and looking up with the camera and even with out, and the clouds moving I get dizzy, so I have to lean up against something or I would probably fall over lol. I wanted to get a close up of the top of the tower as well as to show how high up it is. It is cool and windy here no snow as of yet although they are forcasting snow. I just hope that when I have to head home tomorrow the roads will be okay. It is a 3 and 1/2 hr drive.

The colors of fall

I used the  Sept challenge template and used bkgs from sing me gently by sarahh and sgd zen, the pic I took at a local park. I had never used a template before. So this was my first attempt.

Autumn

I used a tutorial from scrappers guide to do the picture with the word http://www.scrappersguide.com/tips_el/text-mats/
I used one bkg from wlop forest and then blended it with one from el and I used the bridge leaves and stitches from CAJ.SCR.FR KIT COULEURS D'AUTOMNE. The picture I took on one of my excursions

Blessed beyond measure

My friend and her son, I am blessed beyond measure to have watched her children grow, and to have her as a friend. I used a textured overlay action from actionfx. I used a pic I had taken last year and used the action to make overlays and blended them together and used two layers of the pic to blend into the bkg. the WA is from Linda her blinkie for the WA is on the right Random thoughts by Linda. I added a layer style to it.

Climbing into the past

I have taken pics of this old abandoned house before, but this is from this year. I used papers from Irene Alexeeva recolored and used a ladder and stone from another kit I downloaded via digifree, but don't remember the designer floral cluster from Raspberry roads. We had snow here for the past week but it started melting today and it is supposed to be quite nice tomorrow. I hate winter more than I hate the heat lol.

Get well soon Miss Scarlett....

I heard Miss Scarlett was feeling under the weather, and that Miss Boots and Thelma were looking after her. Get well soon Miss Scarlett I don't know how much of their nursing you can handle. Love you and get well real  soon

Happy Anniversary to Al and Gerri

To two beautiful people and dear friends who are celebrating their 47th wedding anniversary. May you have many more years together my friends. Love you lots. I used NLD's Autumn is here kit

The Old Barn

I extracted the barn then placed some chicken wire I made behind it and used some elements from wlop in the forest. All of this was placed on the background made by Miss Linda a dear friend. Thanks my friend love it

OH THE WEATHER IS FRIGHTFUL......

Just some fall pictures I took today, the weather was cold and windy, I can feel it in my bones that winter is coming and I so hate that thought I love fall but it means that we will soon be shoveling snow

Oh once again Miss Thelma.....

Our own Miss Thelma was invited to audition for the Ballet Met and was chosen to join the seniors ballet troupe. Keep watching for updates as she just might make it to the nutcracker auditions. Here she is in the outfit she wore for her first appearance.
