Dress Up

Another bit of exciting news...my "Dress Up" layout was chosen as a Gallery Standout for January! This was a fun lo, and since I haven't posted it here...I will do so now:

Here is the two page spread:

I've been chosen!

I'm SO excited! I've been chosen to be part of a designer's team! She has created a wonderful valentine kit, and has asked me to make some layouts with it! I can't wait to get started! I would really like to design my own stuff...so this is a step in the right direction I think.

Keep watching here, I'll post a link to her kit, and the layouts I created with it.

Holidays are Over

I'm still so behind posting my layouts here...even with the holidays, and the school break...I haven't posted, but I have been busy creating new ones!

I scraplifted this idea...



(her's was much better...but I'm happy with mine too.)

More Christmas images:






And still more...these are from this year...




I'm doing mostly two page spreads now, because I like the idea of "flow" from page to page. I have another couple Christmas ones, then I'll close this post...

This was another scraplift...I really like the ribbon effect...I scrapped my very first Christmas Santa...I still have him! He still ring-a-lings! The kids love him too. Then I took the santa picture out and put in our family picture to make a desktop image as well as an e-card...

LIttle Piece of Heaven

This was a speed scrap...it's one of those challenges that I really, really like...You are given 7 steps to follow (one every ten minutes), and at the end you should have a great layout... The thing that was different about this one was that for your journaling, you had to use the lyrics of a song...I chose this song that I really like by Erin O'Donnell called "Hold onto Jesus"

Sugar & Spice

Oh my gosh...this is SO one of my favorite pics of dd!!! She's just mastered sitting up unaided, and has such a gorgeous smile...I knew I wanted to scrap it all alone. This challenge was to use the rule of thirds...the idea that each "canvas" is divided into thirds vertically and horizontally...envision a tic-tac-doe board. The trick was to place items on those invisible lines...



Isn't she just the cutest?

My Little Cow-Pokes

I'm sorry this image isn't very large, but I wanted to share the two page version of this rather than each page singly...I think it is harder to get a real feel for them.
I love these pictures of the kids, and really wanted just the right papers to scrap with them...when I found this red bandana I knew I had found it...



hmmm...after posting I realized how small that image really is...so here are the pages individually...the left:

I'm slacking

I'm sorry to be so slack in my postings here... perhaps you've missed seeing my new pages, then again maybe not? I don't know who reads this stuff...maybe just me...and that's fine, perhaps this is just a place for me to ramble on, and place I can come back to and read it later...
I have been busy scrapping...just not uploading!
So, here are a few of my latest ones:
I think this one was a Tuesday Template Challenge...


hmmm...maybe it wasn't...I know this one was:


this was just a random scrap...I did it for no one but myself...I so wanted to remember this Thanksgiving Dinner with my entire family at home:


I'll close this post for now, and add a bit more later.
