A shotout to Jan ~ she's the lucky winner of my Lauren Reid giveaway from yesterday! Random.org picked lucky number 1 this morning, so I guess that means that sometimes the early bird really does get the prize! Congrats Jan!
I'm typing this today on the new Beta test of Typepad ~ and so far, I really like it! I got an email about it the other day asking me if I'd like to participate, and since I used to be the beta test manager doing software development that was MUCH more boring than something like this, I had to say yes. It's hard to get people to try something new, especially software that they're used to using in the same way every day. So if you're a Typepad blogger and you get the chance to try the new Beta Test, go for it, it's pretty slick! Maybe they'll finally get it together and make some improvements for those of us with Safari browsers.
Not much going on here today...I think I'll get out and ride my bike this morning, then its back home to get some housework done. My bathroom is about to be condemned, by me of course! It's supposed to be another lovely day today, so I might get the power washer out and clean some things in the back, like the patio and the deck. More fun with power tools! Actually, maybe the power washer would do a good job in my bathroom ~ ha!
Since there's not much going on, here are a few layouts that I've finished recently.....
This one is using the new CT Gina kit from Jana M at The Digi Chick:
And here's another one from the CT Anja kit that's being released on Thursday. Be sure to run over there and check out all of her CT kits, they're just fantastic and fun!
Here are two from Laurie Ann Anderson's new Love Grows Here kit at Scrap Artist:
And finally, I posted this one on Digi Shop Talk last night and you know that people don't like it when the only comment you get is "oh, that's an interesting layout!". So if you like this layout and you're so inclined, click HERE and please give it some love! I think it's kind of cool, but maybe I'm a bit biased!
I've been taking a lot of photos lately, but a lot of them are not good "scrap material", and I'm kind of bored with the same faces (if you know what I mean!), so a reminder that if you were one of the three who won my "I'll scrap your photos contest.......", I'm so ready to go! Pleeeeeese send me your photos! Or if you didn't win the contest and would like me to scrap your photos, send me an email and we'll get it done!
Finally, speaking of photos, I realized yesterday that my photo blog had been neglected. I've been taking the photos, just not updating them, but that's fixed now. I put up a whole week's worth yesterday and I'm all caught up. You can check those out here.
Have a great day!

Hey i did leave a comment on your Maui LO that was very positive as i love it. Love all your other pages as well! i am always amazed by your talent and your eclectic style! You rock girl!

I always love your art, Barb! Gorgeous layouts!

I love the Maui layout. The details are fun. I'll try to get the photos to you this week.

Wow, I feel like I won an Oscar or something! Thanks, girlfriend!
Now what's not to love about that layout? I like the photo strip effect, especially with the ribbons woven between the layers. Maybe you just posted it at a time when lots of new stuff went up in the DST gallery.
My fave is the one of Shannon holding the bird (partial face).

I love your layouts! And I really do like that last one - the color combo (black/white against the blue & green - very cool) and the entire composition of it! And if DST wasn't freezing constantly for me today (is it just me? I'm always paranoid it's just me), I'd access the gallery and leave you some praise. I'll try to access it later!

Ooooooh - great layouts! So much inspiration in just one post! I'm loving both of the new kits and am going to have to go take a closer look. Enjoy the great weather today....I can't wait to get outside this weekend and enjoy it myself. :)

I really, really liked your page! Left you some love at DST! (unless it didn't go through - I hit submit then walked away.)
Posted by: Juliana | May 21, 2008 at 10:45 AM
The layouts are fantastic!
I, too, have an affinity for power tools! Have fun getting everything clean and tidy.
I'm off to leave some love on the layout!

Barb - that layout is nice, I really like it. It's a different take on the split photo...I'm definitely going to be lifing that.

Gorgeous LOs!! I went to write my post this morning in Typepad and was surprised with the new features. I'll have to play with it some more and see if I like it! lol
Posted by: Eve | May 21, 2008 at 09:13 AM
I like all the layouts. The Miami one is my favorite.
That's cool that the random number generator picked #1. I've never seen it do that before.
Feel free to come over to my house with that pressure washer when you're done. The outside of our house desperately needs the road grime hosed off.

I put that pic of David Cook up just for you. lol. I'd be happy if he'd just call me and sing happy birthday to me. Can you arrange it? No, ok since I didn't get him wrapped up in a ribbon for your birthday. Hope your weather is wonderful today and the entire weekend. Love all the layotus! Need to figure out how to get you my photos. Scanner not working. Maybe I'll just go buy one. :)
Have a great day!
