you've got to ask yourself one question: Do I feel lucky? Well, do ya, punk?

"I know what you're thinking. "Did he fire six shots or only five?" Well, to tell you the truth, in all this excitement I kind of lost track myself. But being as this is a .44 Magnum, the most powerful handgun in the world, and would blow your head clean off, you've got to ask yourself one question: Do I feel lucky? Well, do ya, punk?"

Ahhhh.... Dirty Harry! NOT good for my scrapbooking! I tried to complete a simple layout during the movie last night and I couldn't do it. I barely got the shape of the top paper to match the bottom paper before the movie ended...

Perhaps it was because I had never seen Dirty Harry before and I get so distracted.

Now where did I put my keys?

Write. Click. Scrapbook. Sketch Challenge

Write. Click. Scrapbook. Sketch Challenge

Write. Click. Scrapbook. (WCS) is an AWESOME new website put together by a bunch of the gals that used to be a part of Simple Scrapbooks Magazine (which I miss dearly). If you haven't been to their website for inspiration, fun and pratical advice, what are you waiting for? Click here.

Linda Barber has been hosting the WCS blog topics this week and she has issued a sketch challenge based on this sketch.
And here is my verison:

Also, I am having a problem that I hope some of you could help me with.

Problem: is there a way to create text INSIDE a circle in Photoshop full verison 7??? I tried in vain for hours and no dice. Googled it = no dice. The journaling isn't actually attached here because I would really like to do it in a circle and incoroprate it into the design.
Are you playing along? Even if you aren't, how would you use this sketch? Exactly? Turn it? Change the size? Get pretty loose with it? Honestly, I'm surprised I got as loose as I did, but I was inspired by another layout I saw the same day as the sketch challenge went up here.

I thought it would be fun to play along with "dear lizzy" from Creating Keepsakes and post a picture of of what I am doing on 07/08/09 at 10:11:12am (pm counts too). Doesn't hurt that she is offering a nice RAK too.
Surprise, Surprise, I am at work! Who woulda thunk it, right? Hope that your 10/11 is more interesting than mine! :) Have a rip-roaring tanfastic p-dub kind of day!

The Ranch Rodeo has Gone to the Dogs!

The Ranch Rodeo has Gone to the Dogs!


Yesterday afternoon Andy & I headed north to visit some friends of ours in Laramie, Wyoming. They were at a local ranch rodeo and invited us to tag along for the end of it. So we did.



We had a great time and that was in part because of our doggies, Hailey (big brown dog) and Crackers (little black dog). The rodeo was the ultimate in doggie TV, complete with smell-o-vision. They LOVED it. Hailey kept making the goofiest noises, whimpering and whining every time a calf got roped and they were trying to get it into the trailer. Her border collie side was showing through - she really wanted to get down there and help!!! It was tooo cute!



Crackers on the other hand watched so intently and didn't make a single peep - it was surprising!



It was fairly low key and we had a nice BBQ dinner at our friends house after - that is until the weather chased us inside.


There were some fantastic clouds, rain and storms!


What did you do for the holiday weekend? Anything special??

Time Out from Scrappin

I just couldn't bring myself to go sit in the basement and scrapbook this weekend. It was TOO nice outside and my hubby actually had some time available on the weekend (he is always working).
So we headed northwest into the mountains. MMMMmmmm.


Hiking in Medicine Bow in Wyoming to Glacier Lakes at about 10,800 feet above sea level. June 27, 2009

The dogs smelling out the moose just before we spotted him.

I've always wanted to see a moose and Saturday afternoon on our way up to the Glacier Lakes trailhead in Wyoming we saw a moose!

How was your weekend??
