And I get to take little breaks in the middle of the day to do &#8220;CT work&#8221;.  I totally consider it work because I get paid in product, so I feel like I owe it to the designers to really work for them!<\/p>\n<p>Like today &#8211; I did this LO for <a href=\"http:\/\/www.wearestorytellers.net\/boutique\/manufacturers.php?manufacturerid=22\">Molly<\/a>.

I have SOOO many photos of Disneyland trips to scrap, it would be nice to know that at least ONE of them is 100% done.  I know it seems silly that I haven&#8217;t finished a trip we took in &#8217;07!!  But &#8211; that&#8217;s life!!!  I have a hard time scrapping in order and getting a whole trip completed.  But I&#8217;m determined to get this one done.  I can see the light!  So, I&#8217;ve been scrapping the last little batch of pics from that trip a LOT lately!! \u00a0<\/p>\n<p>At the daytime Speed Scrap yesterday I did one of my new FAVORITE pages.  Every once in a while I&#8217;ll do a page that I&#8217;m so happy with I&#8217;ll keep opening it up to look at it throughout the day.  Yes I&#8217;m a dork.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/farm4.static.flickr.com\/3535\/3234727762_611a9e426b_o.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/farm4.static.flickr.com\/3535\/3234727762_611a9e426b_o.jpg\" width=\"540\" \/><\/a><br \/><a href=\"http:\/\/www.digishoptalk.com\/gallery\/showphoto.php?photo=541438&amp;ppuser=5263\"><span style=\"font-style:italic;\">{credits}<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p>I had a few people ask me how I did the background.  In the kit I used (<a href=\"http:\/\/shop.scrapbookgraphics.com\/product.php?productid=23194&amp;cat=0&amp;page=1\">&#8220;I&#8217;m a Fanpire &#8211; Revamped&#8221;<\/a> by Tangie Baxter) there is this really cool black and grey cloud\/sky paper, and I just enlarged my photo to the height of the paper and turned the blending mode of the photo to &#8220;Overlay&#8221;.  That&#8217;s it!!  It just happened to work out beautifully.  I was actually surprised how great it looked when I did it.  One of those happy accidents!<\/p>\n<p>There was 1 page from this trip I did a long while back (for a CT I&#8217;m no longer on) that I just did not love.  Sometimes those pages happen.  For that reason I never did print it.  I tagged it as needing a makeover.  I finally took the photos from that page, combined &#8217;em with a few other &#8220;on our way&#8221; pictures and made a new page that I like a lot more.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/farm4.static.flickr.com\/3487\/3234142541_73a4103fda_o.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/farm4.static.flickr.com\/3487\/3234142541_73a4103fda_o.jpg\" width=\"540\" \/><\/a><br \/><a href=\"http:\/\/www.digishoptalk.com\/gallery\/showphoto.php?photo=541563&amp;ppuser=5263\"><span class=\"Apple-style-span\" style=\"font-style: italic;\">{credits}<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Ok I know it seems like I did a gazillion pages in the last 24 hours, and you&#8217;re probably thinking &#8220;DUH BRITT!  Thats why you were so busy!&#8221;  But I did all the Mira Design pages a while ago when she first gave us the kit to play with.  But yeah &#8211; I guess I did scrap a lot.  Again &#8211; I&#8217;m not complaining.  I love my work.  It makes me happy.  <\/p><\/div>\n<p>I have to have a computer break.  I&#8217;ll go watch our Thursday shows (The Office and 30 Rock) with my guy.  Then I&#8217;ll finish getting everything ready for tomorrow.  I know &#8211; its 9:00, how am I not ready yet?!  haha<\/p>\n<p>SEE YA TOMORROW!<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;\" src=\"https:\/\/brittishdesigns.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/01\/BlogSignaturesmall-1.jpg\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\" id=\"BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5136120997058580338\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I feel like I&#8217;m constantly working these days.
