inability

[chestnutcurls]

Sometimes my lack of ability in certain areas drives me crazy. Example: anything to do with the computer. Like this new icon. I use generic Photo Editor, the only image program I have, to make my icons, and it is not good. All it can do is shrink pictures to icon size, and it doesn't even do that well. Kathy just got a new print artist program, and I've been trying to work with that, but I can't ever tell if the pictures are the right size. Also, even though I have taken approximately 1672 pictures of myself since I got my digital camera, I have yet to come up with one that looks good and is good photo quality. (By the way, this is not a plea for any of you to make icons for me. I'm just venting because I want to make them myself. :P)

I realize that I have been negligent in posting pictures, now that the initial thrill of my camera has passed. So, per tingilya's request, here are pictures of some of my "better" scrapbook pages...




Yes, I have a stencil of insect shapes. :) So far, this is the only place I have used it effectively.


Pictures from last year's canoe trip. I'm not sure what I like about this page, but it just gives me a nice feeling.


From MaryElaine & Royce's wedding rehearsal.


I think this is the most "professional"-looking page I've ever done. From my band book- New Orleans, 1995.


I was proud that I managed to fill a page even though I didn't have any pictures from the event. But I obviously can't cut a straight line. (From the band book, again.)

I know these are not good by professional scrapping standards, but I like them. I do what I can, since I can't afford to use several contrasting kinds of paper for each page and/or spend hundreds of dollars on personalized stickers/stamps/punches/whatever. :P

Gosh, I'm sorry for being so grouchy today. To make up for it, here's a picture from Wednesday's ice storm. :)
