Phew! Made it!

Is the first freebie the hardest? Please tell me it gets easier.

An email came 2 weeks ago about Digital Scrap Obsession’s Challenges.  I was sucked down into the rabbit hole.  Now its the middle of March. Maybe just a layout would have been a nice starting point?  Nope,  in typical bull-like fashion. Is there any other way? In the end, ALL worth it. The well tenderized brain, over-ripe in places, will mend, right?  

Gratitude List:

Thanks to my 3 men: Jack, Dillon and Nathan. For running to the computer to look each time I shouted “Breakthrough!”  You all are the flowers along the path.

Thanks DSO for having challenges that inspire.

Thanks Kim B for the March Color Challenge.

Thanks Kim B for helping your sister, Gaye launch herself digitally. Having done the techie stuff alone, I can relate.  Uh-huh!

Thanks Lauren, my current instructor at DSP.  ( DSU211 Realistic Elements in Photoshop) She is present, awesome, full to the brim with information, and shares it happily.  A born teacher, I am blessed to have Lauren to learn from this month.

 

Spring Reception Mini Kit made for DSO March Color Challenge. 5 florished papers,  realistic flowers, greenery & frames. Pastel Colors with metallic accents.

BWAHAHAHAHA- Ok, I’m laughing at your post! Love your take on the *breakthroughs*- CAN SO RELATE- that STILL happens in this house – trust me- but my men usually run the otherway because I’m calling them to come and look at something that I have figured out- and well to them it’s like trying to learn Chinese! lol
They just understand the *pretty pictures*- BWAHAHAHA

And yeah- all this techy stuff is rather mind boggling- but hell GF you have done one HELL of a job here!

Great first kit Jodiann! Love the old frames!
By the way: I’m having trubbles with the 4shared download, it won’t come in. It does start, but on downloading it can’t find the page. Could you please fix it?
