Proud Mommy day...

This morning was the very first time that Mercedes performed with the Junior Choir. They sang 2 songs in the Music Festival and she looked so dang cute in that little choir gown. I was just loving my zoom lens today! So here's a few of the pics I got this morning...

Here they are waiting to get their gowns...

Walking onto the stage...this was one of those pics that made me really appreciate the zoom lens!
I just thought this pic was so cute with her little silhouette...plus it's proof that she is not the very smallest one...she's only the second smallest! lol
Here they are singing their little hearts out!
The Cardston Elementary Junior choir
I was really happy with the pics I got today. I was smart and got their early so not only did we have pretty good seats but I also had time to play around with some of the settings on my camera. I think I've finally got the white balance and exposure pretty much mastered...but I do still have to do some editing with brightness/contrast in photoshop. But for now I'm happy that I manually set it so that I did not need my flash, and the exposure was still fast enough that I had very few blurry pics considering the fact that I was really shaky.

I'm back...

And the cat came back the very next day...it's a miracle!!! lol

Just wanted to post a few pics of some of the things I've been up too lately! :)

This is the altered notebook that I made for my photo notes.

A Layout that I made about my grandma and how she is such a hard worker.

This was just me playing with my new zoom lens and then adding a little pop in Photoshop.

A card that I made to add to my stash...I need to make some more since I don't have alot of boys cards.
A few other cards I've been making lately....the owls, the flower and the tulips are all paper pieced and they all look way better irl.

So there are just a few of the things I've been working on...next time I'll try to post some of the layouts from my grandma's album.

I've been a very bad girl...I know...

It seems like it's been forever since the last time I updated this blog. Nothing to major happening. Mercedes is in choir now and has her first performance next week. In preparation for upcoming concerts I finally got the zoom lens that I've been wanting! I've been very busy scrapbooking. I have started an album for my grandma's birthday and although I've only done 7 pages so far, I have a feeling that it's going to turn out just like I want it too.

Today I altered a notebook for me to use to take notes as I try to master this camera of mine. I've got a few books to help with along with some websites that I know of, so I really hope I use the summer wisely to improve my skills!

I still hang out at http://scrapcentral.ca all the time. Bobbi-Lynn just rocks that place and her kits are awesome! We are just finishing up a 8 week challenge that was alot of fun to participate and I really find that I work faster & better when I am creating on a regular basis. Luckily this album for my grandma will keep me scrappin alot over the next 2 months.

Well I'm too tired tonight to post some pics, but I'll try to get some up tomorrow. :)
