090430 Wendell & Mallory
I absolutely adore this photo of Wendell & Mallory! Created for a template challenge at Sunshine Studios, template by Amanda Kay, using the Sunshine Collab kit Sunflower.
Memories of the Orient - don't miss this great kit!
The fabulous Flower Scrap has a great new kit inspired by the Orient in her store at One Single Seed. Here's what it looks like - click on image to go to her store and pick it up. I don't get to the Orient all that often (okay never) but we DO always eat at Chinese restaurants and since it is a great family tradition (obsession?) I am going to have to scrap it - so now I have something to scrap it with!
Awesome Templates by Nibbles Skribbles
Psst: I wanted to let you in on a little secret - there is a coupon included with the download for this set and rumor has it that Manda is going to be having a sale in her store for National Scrapbook Day. Combine the coupon with the sale and you will be able to get anything and everything in her store for half price, but only for a limited time - you won't want to miss this. So hurry over and pick up Template Set 5!
Download-A-Day
What's not to love about a download-a-day? It's a great collab kit, so be sure to check each day!
090430 This One Photo
This page was created for a challenge at Hummie to find ONE photo that was particularly precious to me, and title it "this one photo". As I narrowed down the choices, I realized almost all my favorite photos were of Amaria with funny looks on her face. Not necessarily making a funny face, but not generally just a generic smile, either. She has an incredibly interesting, expressive face.
The kit used was Think Spring by Andrea.

090430 Meme & Girls
Meme and two random girls from Little Falls - no idea who they are. Isn't he just so stinkin' handsome?
Created for a color challenge at Hummie's World - found the perfect fit for the colors she chose! Didn't use a specific kit, just shapes and brushes and some CU flowers from Tootlebugz.

090430 Amaria Pink Mittens
Created for a "use your stash" challenge at Hummie's World. I used a kit from 2005 by 2 Peas, called (maybe) Think Pink.
It was so easy to find an old kit I hadn't used since I got it. The guideline was at least 6 months ago - this one was 4 years ago! I tried my hand at digi-scrapping in 2005, made about 25 pages or so, and then came back to the digi-scrap world this spring, 2009. WOW! Things have changed. It reminds me of Star Wars special effects. The early ones were good, as this kit is. The later ones are AMAZING, as you can see by looking thru most of the other pages I have made with contemporary kits.

090430 Amaria & Zeke
Amaria sure did love Zeke! He was nice & snuggly, unlike Humphrey. Good ol' Zeke. Zeke Doggy Dog. We miss him!
Created for a "white space" challenge at Hummie's World. White space doesn't necessarily mean white, so here is my version. Used a kit called "always & forever" by CGL (sorry that's all I have for the name).

090429 Taia Big Bear
Created for a photography challenge (perspective from above) by msbrad on Hummie's World, using the kit Tomboy Spring by Prissy Pixel.

The journaling on the page says what I would say about this, and it was created for a sketch challenge at One Single Seed using the Best Friends kit by Digi-Designs by Nicole.
090429 Amaria Rainy Day
Created for a challenge on Stuff to Scrap using the Rain Rain Go Away kit by Jenasis Design.
090429 Trippels 2006

090428 Amaria Pooh
When I saw this word art at Stuff to Scrap, I knew it was an opportunity to scrap a cute page of Amaria, whose nickname since practically her birth is Amaria Pooh! I used two kits: Orange You Glad by Jenasis Design, and Bears Eat Beets by Scraps of Ellay.

090427 Jennifer Faves
Created for a challenge at One Single Seed - I had great fun grabbing all the pix for this template. It's impossible to put all the PEOPLE I love into something like this, so I just focused on a family, and a few of the "things" I cannot live without - my MP3 player (to listen to books), my book shelf (one of many) filled with books I love to read, and a sweater I knit for Taia to represent knitting in general. And the page itself represents the digi-scrapping I love to do! Used Funky Love kit by DDBN at One Single Seed.

Brennan - my Speed Scrap page!
Look what I made during today's Speed Scrap over at Stuff to Scrap. That was fun. I really gotta make a layout of my nephew, Conal, though...he's harder to catch in a picture, but I have some. And he's as awesome as my little Brennie-pooh!
Used the Bears Eat Beets kit by Scraps of Ellay.

Amaria & Andre
It's a very long story how Andre came into our lives. Hmm, short version. Has same father as my 2 old kids, taken from his custody age 7, I learned of his whereabouts when he was 16, brought him to visit us many times with the intention of adopting him, but his mental issues were too great. BUT...he & Amaria adored each other, & she misses him as do I. This page made for a "Word of the Week" challenge at Stuff to Scrap, with Orange You Glad by Jenasis Design.
