The Paper Iris: Templates 29 and 30

Why "The Paper Iris"?

My digiscrapping career began several years ago as a paper S4O business. At the time, a close friend suggested the name The Paper Iris because of the many meanings it suggested. Iris is the Greek word for "rainbow", the name of one of my favorite flowers, the colorful part of the eye, and a part of the camera. Each meaning for "Iris" has something to do with Scrapbooking. When you put Iris and Paper together, you have a meaning that suggests creativity and beauty. Thus, The Paper Iris was born.

Templates 29 and 30

Hi! You know, on paper this day does not sound too bad: Dr's appointment, lunch, pick up beef from butcher, naps, neighborhood meeting, stop at Target for diapers(since i am a cloth diaper flunky at the moment!), and get gas doesn't sound too bad. It's when you throw in the getting up early, taking two kids along for most of it(one of them being a nursing 5 month old), non-napping kids, and picking up my mom as an extra set of hands that it gets really crazy! Whew! We ordered 1/4 of a (grass fed, humanely treated)cow along with some other families, and yesterday was our day to pick it up. Our deep freeze is almost full! I am so excited about knowing where our beef comes from!

Here are the templates:

Anna said...: I totally understand what craziness some days are!!! I love all the templates you make. On my computer, if you mark a jpeg file with the word "folder" it shows a large preview on the thumbnail. Have you ever considered saving your template previews in a jpg format instead of a png. It would make it easier to have the folder show the preview. Also I wondered if you know about saving in a tiff format. I know the file is about half the space on your hard drive and it is the same layers and such. I would love it if you could save in a tiff and jpeg format. If you have any ideas or questions on this let me know on my blog. Thanks for all you do!!!; May 21, 2009 at 10:20 AM
