first love on raspberry lane

for me, before there was a dslr, before there was photoshop tutorials, actions, and textures, before there was photography books, rules of thirds, exposure lessons, lighting, blah, blah blah! ... before all of those was my first love = SCRAPPING!, digital scrapping to be exact. so instead of taking pictures the last few weeks, i've gone back to my first love, scrapping up the ones i've already got. here's some of what i've been doing.








and what the heck? the shabby shoppe blog awarded this one layout of the week!



i am soooo thrilled because there are some very, very talented folks over there at shabby shoppe ~ i just LOVE their style .... cuz it's...you know... shabby! AND...they gave me a gift certificate i am going to use very quickly to buy more scrapping goodies! sa-weet!

you can get the template for this layout FREE on their blog here!
