Authentic

Here's my layout of my son.  I am still in the process of scanning the photos of him so I don't have near as many to work with.  My kids were pre-digital cameras... so I have to scan everything for a backup.. I know.. why do I need a backup... well.. I just do!  lol

My Lil Ladybug

This is the second layout I did.  I totally scraplifted the ladybug with the picture from Barb...aka.. The Snowmanlover.  I thought that was such a cute idea.  Anyway.. here's my version...

You are my sunshine

This past Saturday my girlfriend, Jodie, invited me to scrap with her.  We scrapped the day away and had a lot of fun!  Here's some of the things we did.  The first one is "You are my sunshine".  This was the last layout I did for the day.... 

Grand-DOGters

This is a page from the album I made for Doug's mom last Christmas.  All of her kids and grandkids dogs... lol  Kinda silly, but it was a fun page.

It's a boy baby shower or baby gift card

A Frog Card

Here's a card I did for my friend Mindy.. she LOVES.. I MEAN LOVES, frogs!  lol  This is one of the very first cards I ever did... so yes.. it's VERY SIMPLE.. but she loved it.  Inside reads.. "Hope your birthday is unFROGetable!"

A kitty layout

This is Izzy... She's the mama to my many many kitten photos.... she's such a sweetie

I got an award... yea me! :)

Thank you Brenda from Brenda'sjoy for this award. How thoughtful of you to think of me. I will be passing this award on shortly.... Again.. thank you so much, I appreciate your thoughtfulness!

I changed my blog

Well I spent the afternoon searching for a new blog background and header.. this is what I came up with.  It's not exactly what I was looking for, but I think I like it.  The cherries were fun... but were getting very popular... what do you think.. the cherries or this one?  

New cards...

I added a third white brad to this card, but didn't retake the photo

I did three cards today.. one is VERY similar to the other Father's Day card I did, but Doug wanted one for his father... the second is a graduation card for my Nephew.. and the last one is a card for my daughter's boyfriend. He works at a concrete pipe making place.. so I know it looks juvenile.. but it's kind of a joke... the inside reads... Get the concrete out of your ears and listen up.... Have a HAPPY BIRTHDAY! We're always teasing him about the ....well.. you get it... ! LOL

One for my Christmas Past Album

OK.. so I added a couple more.. so much fun to look at these old photos

Last year my girlfriend had all her scrapping friends over.. she bought us each a red 8 x 8 album, a pad of 8 x 8 DCWV Christmas Paper and all we were each to bring was Christmas Photos and an assortment of Christmas Embellies.... she had this article "How to Scrap 40 photos in 4 hours".  It was fun.. you spend so much time cropping your photos.. then you spend so much time just laying out photos.. then the last thing you do is go back and embellish all your pages... I ended up going back later and doing more and most didn't get 40 pictures done.. but it was so much fun.. we laughed and we were all stressed out about the timer going off...

Anyway.. I don't have to time to post them all now.. but here's a few of my favorite layouts from the book

Pet Album

Here's a few pages from my pet album.. of course it's an ongoing album.. but these are some of the more recent layouts

Another Bind it All

I've decided everyone is getting these for Christmas.. we do a family Stocking Exchange with Doug's family... so this is going to be my stocking stuffer for the girls..

Life's a Beach

Blog Construction

I've been working on adding/deleting some things on my blog.. so if something acts quirky..please let me know, I'm trying to test it as I go, but I may have missed something.

Hope you're all gearing up for a wonderful weekend!!

Took the day off today

Decided to create a bit... took me longer than anticipated and I only got one card and one layout done...

My version of a "Father's Day" card for my fiance'. I got this idea from a book... but I think I overdid the details....

Priceless

A page for my animal album.... Hard to read on this picture.. but it reads

Dog Collar $2.99

Dog Food $9.99

Vet Bill $89.00

Unconditional love......

Priceless

Ride Baby Ride

My son's first ride without training wheels....

She's All That

She's All That

Finally got a chance to scrap.... I liked how this one turned out. I'm pretty simple in my scrapping.. as you can tell. These photos didn't come out that well, it's still early here.. morning sun. I may take more photos later and swap these out because it really is a cherry layout, but it looks washed out in these photos

Fun in the Sun
