Simple brag... nothing new, just bragging

I entered 5 sCRAPpy items in the Canfield Fair (largest county fair in the country I am told)... and I won five ribbons!!!

First Place:




Second place:And three Third places!!! No fourth, no honorable mention!

Feeling pretty spunky about the whole thing. My girlfriend Beth also won a blue ribbon and so I changed the Crafty Girlz description to read "Blue Ribbon scrapping with Beth and CJ" :0

Taking Pictures

It was National Photo Walk Day today, or some such really important national *holiday* which everyone should be participating. Went on a walk in Boardman. There were only 4 of us, but I still enjoyed myself.

First up my silly standby, I can't resist taking pictures of bees. This one is really crisp blown up. I like him a lot.

Next up we have some peeling paint. I love the colors.


A classic flower picture, I took a lot of them. This one had the best color and bokeh I thought.


And the steeple... I swear I did not remove any color (I might have played with the exposure and contrast and, and, and, but I left the color alone) It's essentially a neutral colored building without a break in the clouds it appears to be black and white.


Now for some of the real fun playing around... Andrew sitting inside the church. It's a classic "Andrew look"


This was Erik and Lexi's wedding. Lucky for Tony (Lexi's dad) Andrew is not qualified and Erik did not attempt to kiss the bride. He is however insisting that Lexi is both his girlfriend and his wife. I love how GiGi appears to be posing as if the picture is about her.

And finally a little self portrait work in the bathroom... how often do you find a mirror with a big window right behind it. On a brighter day that might be the super awesome place to try this again. I need to remember to always bring my make-up, or wear it, or tattoo it on my face.

Scrappy Thursday :)

Loving it.

White with One asked for purple and circles. Not generally a color I use but I made a go of it.

Mix it up asked for a photo more than 20 years old of yourself... I don't know anything about this picture other than it's me in June of 1973, making it 36 years old.

I did a card too, but since I have to give it away next week... I'm not going to post it! Not very productive this week, but I sure did have a nice time. Nice to meet Lisa and so see old friends Krista, Cindy, and Susan.
