Ok…so my Hot off the Press topic today so was started by my little girl this morning…My DH had an audit this morning at work so I had to take Monkey to daycare this morning…Well…I’m not a morning person…never have been…I mean we are talking when I was little I was so adverse to getting up I used to come out in the morning with my blankie over my head with a pair of sun glasses over that and eat my breakfast burried beneath my light shelter!!! HOW sad is that!!! Well…I really am no different now I just have gotten over the having to show it nearly as badly!! Today was just plain strange though..I got up earlier than I’m used to and was actually in a great mood…I mean that happy go lucky mood that I want to strangle most people for in the mornings!! 
Well, Monkey isn’t any better than I used to do…SHE HATES mornings…well…I get her up…we both get ready..me chattering on…her mute as can be (NOT NORMAL)….We tromp downstairs to get ready to leave…I open the door…and bammm…it is slammed shut by mrs. thing!! She looks at me all serious like and announces “Mommy we need to talk, There are rules in the morning, and you are being bad and breaking them!” So yes…chipper me (again not normal) asks…”I’m sorry sweetie what did I do?” (hello…I’m the adult here asking the 3 year old what I’ve done wrong…do you see something wrong with that picture? I do…but anyway!! She very hastely informs me of my misdoings! “There is absolutly no smiling or talking in the morning mom! Don’t you know that…I’m sleepy and don’t want to be up so I’m not happy and you can’t be either!!!” OHHHHHH Talk about pissing her off…I couldn’t hold it back I was rolling!! I mean goood heavens talk about the spitting image of me!! Needless to say we did make it to the car, even though I was getting a major NASTY look the whole way!! And even made it to Daycare in one piece!! I’m telling you kids are the greatest!!!!
Now…I scrapped the other evening….Painting has been a bear and I needed some wind down time…so this is my creation…
Well I am a customer for life with Christina Renee and have just buying up her stuff left and right…but this is one of the few times I’ve gotten to play with it all!!! So here is what I used and links to go grab them all!!
Off to do some work!!!

Ok…so since classes are out I wanted to try and catch up on my CT fun!! Yes I think of it as fun not WORK!!! These Fabulous desingers give you Awesome products to work with and it is my pleasure to not only use them but by golly show them off and get you other amazing scrappers to go grab them and play!! I provide the inspiration that makes you WANT WANT WANT THEM!!! Soo…Laura White had a new kit Corgen up at My Digital Muse and I Just loved it! So I had to play…Well don’t you just hate it when you get an idea in your head and once it is there it just isn’t right till it is well, Right! I played with the kit and one of the awesome papers has this tooo cool torn and curled edge to it! Well I wanted to tuck something under it and well, it is a flat file not layers…soooo…thanks to the awesome tip from Scrap Girls I was able to realize my vision…and darned if it wasn’t just a way simple thing to do! I had tried every other way more difficult thing to no avail!! Just goes to show the old saying of “two heads are better than one” is soooo true…sooo…enough jabbering…here is that inspiration and even a little mini tutorial to tell you how I accomplished my desire!
Now for the enabling!! You know you wanna grab all this way awesome products!!! ohhh…one of them was a freebie from Christina Renee on NSD in May but I’ll link you up to her post in case it is still available, and while you are there add her to your blog roll…she ROCKS TOO!!
And for that mini tutorial See I didn’t forget!
To get the picture beneath the torn and rolled edge since this was a flat and not layered piece I took my rectangular marquee tool and drew a rectangle around the portion that would overlap the picture and elements. Make a copy of that section and then put a mask on it. I then used a hard brush to erase the majority of what I didn’t want to see and then used a soft brush at an opacity and flow of like 20 to slowly paint away the rest…blending it into the paper so that the shadow was just the slightest bit transparent.
Well off to shop!!! Get to clickin!! Enjoy!
