here's what Diana wrote...

thanks everyone for the comments!  I love to hear what you're thinking... so please don't be shy :)

In other news, the weekend around here was pretty low key.  We got out Friday night to take the kiddos for pizza & games at the local pizza place because we knew we were looking at some yucky weather Saturday & Sunday.  Well, it held off most of Saturday until the evening & then the snow & crazy wind started!  Sunday was BRRRRRRRR.... beyond cold & so me & the kids stayed in.  The boys played the xBox & Lydia & I watched movies, played doll house & I just did a lot of laundry, dishes & cooking.  Oh & I did participate in the DHD Speed Scrap on Saturday night & had a blast.  Forced me to try some new things... which I LOVED.  The speed scrap also pushed me to start on organizing my digital files in Bridge, which I spent doing for part of the day yesterday.  Not too exciting, but I was happy to stay in & out of the cold!

here's a look at the layout I created for the speed scrap

I thought you might enjoy the close up of this one because one of the "rules" for the crop was to use digital brushes on our layout.  I hadn't used brushes for a while & had a lot of fun playing around again.  If you haven't used brushes, you should definitely try... there are so many cool effects you can make with them.  The ones I used on this page were from Jen Allyson, Karla Dudley & Carina Gardner.

Paper & tag is from Karla Dudley, Stitching & number rubon {& cute kids} are me.

plus I had to do another, just because I felt like playing some more :)  all the brushes here are from Jen Allyson.

Frames from Jen Allyson, alpha from Audrey Neal, scallop edge from Deena Rutter, tape was an internet freebie? & the paper & stitching will be coming from me this week & the little heart pretty soon too.

happy Monday
