I did it!!!

I finally did it! Oh my goodness am I technically challenged or what? It took me forever to figure out how to customize my blog.

I am so excited as my goal was to create my own header and background with one of the hundred or so digital scrapbook kits I own! For this one, I used Stacey's Kit Sk8 or Die which is available at the store Scrap that Idea.

I created the header and background on my Creative Memories Storybook Creator program but then could not get it to be the right size so I moved it over to Photoshop Elements to get the right pixels and resolution. I had to then host is on a site so I could get an html code for it so I now have an account on Scrapbook Flair. It was a lot to learn but now that I have, I hope to change my backgrounds and header more often as it was fun to create them.

On that note, if it looks weird or the size is off on your computer, let me know as I know I already have to make some adjustments for next time. If there is a problem, let me know what it is in the comments and let me know your monitor size.

I feel like Selina who does something on her own and then looks over and says, "I did it!"

I hope everyone has a fabulous Fourth of July! TR is working extra for some airline ticket money so we can go to Africa to get our little guy, so the kids and I are hanging out. I think we will go swimming for awhile at the pool at our club house and then relax a bit so Selina can stay up late for fireworks without having a no nap meltdown!LOL We are hoping to catch up with Chalene and her fam to watch them together somewhere.

And because I can post his picture now... here is another one of our son. Riding scooters is one of his favorite things to do (along with playing soccer).



Have a great day!!
