Pop Quiz for Monday

Ok, so maybe I chose this quiz for today because of nostalgia but doesn't anyone else remember Nintendo? I remember wanting one forever and finally get one for christmas. I loved it! Heck, I'd want to play a plain old Nintendo over of these big fancy game systems that are out now. So for all of you who remember this now ancient game console...

Here's Another Monday Pop Quiz!

I haven't been doing the Monday Pop Quiz lately and I'm trying to get back in the swing of things. So I found this one for you. What's your theme song? Bad thing is AC/DC is slightly before me. Or at least before I started getting into music really. So I'm not sure that I've even heard this one before, but I'm off to go download it to see if my results can be considered accurate. Ha Ha! Have fun taking this one.

**Ok, I downloaded it and heard the first few notes of the song and remembered it. I do at least like the song so that's good, right?



Your Theme Song is Back in Black by AC/DC



"Back in black, I hit the sack,

I've been too long, I'm glad to be back"



Things tend to get really crazy for you, and sometimes you have to get away from all the chaos.

But each time you stage your comeback, it's even better than the last!

Scrappin' Away the Days

So I know I haven’t really been writing much lately, but here’s why. I’ve been rediscovering how much I love, love, love this little program called Paint Shop Pro. I have the X2 version and it’s so much fun to play with. I’ve had this project in mind to do a digital scrapbook of my son’s first year and after several days of setting out one or more layouts a day, I am nearly done. YAY! I should get done just in time for Christmas. So to any of my family that reads my blog – the cat’s out of the bag! You know what you’re getting. :)

To get some inspiration, I joined a couple of digital scrap booking groups on CafĂ© Mom. I’ve mentioned CM before. It’s an amazing group where moms can get together to discuss anything and everything. You should check it out.

So one of the digi scrap groups I joined does layout challenges. They pick a theme and you make a scrapbook page using that theme and then submit it to be voted on. I’ve had a lot of doing participating already and I’ve only entered 3 challenges so far. The deadline for the ones I’ve entered isn’t up yet so they haven’t been voted on, but there are definitely some good scrappers in this group.

The one I just submitted a layout for is a Halloween layout. This one was really fun for me because I have always loved Halloween and now I have even more reason to love it because my son was born on Halloween. J Anyhow, for the challenge we were told to make an empty layout (so we could add the pictures in later) using a great Halloween kit from Bluedreams Designs that you can find here. This is the layout I made. What do you think?


Do any of you do digital scrap booking? Had fun entering contests or challenges? Share your stories with me.
