We had such fun with Brennan and Conal last weekend! It makes me miss them more than ever. Amaria had a good time helping Brennan go down the slide. It's so funny how it seems so huge and scary to him, and here Amaria is just pushing it across the yard! I did this for a word of the week (remember) challenge at Stuff to Scrap using Summer Days kit by DDBN & GSWB of Stuff to Scrap.

090529 Mom & Pooh
I created this layout from an old scanned photo of me & Amaria from 2002! I used the Kadoozie kit by Amanda Kay and Dezigns by Kristi of Sunshine Studios and scraplifted a layout by Wonder Girl Teri called Carol & Dominick. Merry Christmas!
090529 Dancin Gramma
Amaria and my mom have always had such a great fun time! I did this with a template by Daisydil at Sunshine Studios with a kit called Psychadelic Funk over at Sunshine Studio Scraps.
090529 My 3 Kids
Ahh, remember when they were so sweet? This was done with a template by Rhonda and the kit Wish You a Rainbow by Sherri Tierney from Sunshine Studio Scraps.
090529 Know Brennan
My nephew, Brennan, came to mind right away when I read these lyrics. I also had to go and buy this kit, because before I even saw it, it's exactly what I had in mind when I read these lyrics! Thanks, Kristi, for having that just waiting for me. The kit is In A Dream by Kristi W at Sunshine Studio Scraps. The lyrics are from a song by Faith Hill, the layout for a May 2009 Lyric Challenge at Sunshine.

090528 Best Auntie
This was created for a Stuff to Scrap speed scrap using Maurice kit by Digi-Designs by Nicole and Gettin Scrappy With Britt.
090528 Taia Bench
Created for a font challenge at Bouquet of Pixels. The font is the blue words, called Echelon. The word Taia is in KathleenInLine (appropriate cuz her middle name is Kathleen, after my mom!. The kit is Savanah Bday by CJ's Dreams. Taia is 7 months old in the pic - sitting on my desk at work in "real life".
090528 Little Nathan
Nathan is the sweetest little guy - Brennan's sweetness reminds me of Nathan. Zach is lucky to have such a nice little nephew - nephews are great! This layout was created with the Bahama Mama collab kit by Sunshine Studios.

090527 Ronni & Breanna
I'll never forget when Ronni first became a grandma at the birth of Breanna - despite never having had children. And what a fantastic Grandma she is! This was created for a scraplift challenge at Sunshine Studio, and used Kadoozie by Amanda Kay and Designs by Kristi.
090527 Amaria's Bike
I did a tutorial on color schemes on Hummie's World, so this is a split complimentary color scheme based on Amaria's shirt. I made each thing on this page with that color scheme, and will be kind enough to stick with kits more often, as I would not like to blind everybody! You're very welcome. :)
090527 Christmas Dance
Continuing to create pages for Amaria's 10th birthday present - a book all about her! I love this middle pic - just so cute with her little self! Created with Lily's Garden by AWP for a hue-saturation-value lesson on Hummie's World.
090527 Daycare Days
It was such fun doing daycare for Jordan & Dakota and Damien. Well, they kinda drove me nuts after awhile (not Damien, he was always just a sweet little guy), but still, they were such great buddies for Amaria back then! I did not use a kit for this, but made up things as I needed them, and created this for 2 different things - a color challenge at Digi Scrapbook Mania, and a patterned paper tutorial at Hummie's World.

090526 State Fair
Used the State Fair Pride kit by Share Your Moments Designs at Pretty Scrappy. Created for Font Challenge at Digi Scrapbook Mania and also at Hummie's World, same thing. Look how little and cute Zoe was! I mean, she just looks so little and round and young! The rest of them look not too different - maybe Phalen. Me and Melissa got some gorgeous kids no?
090526 Meme's Journey
Most people seeing this will know it's not that my son is dead, but just gone wrong, and gone from me for a very long time. I used Numb3rs by Sarah (Sweet Blossom Designs) from Scrap That Idea for this page. Created for a quote challenge at Digi Scrapbook Mania.

090522 Moving Day
This was for the May 2009 embellishment challenge at Digi Scrapbook Mania. I really had to dig through a TON of kits to find this newsprint! Then, the kit was called A Touch of Romance, and the newsprint was housing ads! So...I found these moving day pix, something that really needed to get scrapped anyway, and put it all together. So the kit is A Touch of Romance by Stacey's Scraps at Scrap That Idea, except the two green leaves (actually the same green leaf twice) which is by AWP Vicki at Scrap That Idea, the kit Flutterby Flowers. Whew!
090522 Puppy Love
I made this with a kit called Puppy Love (appropriately enough) by Vicki - A Work in Progress at Scrap That Idea. Good Ol' Zeke! Zoe-Meister. Baby - no nicknames, just a terror!! Humphrey Dumps. I just love my pups (well, 3 out of 4 anyway).
090522 Noah
Well I'm a bit behind on knowing Sarah's kids. She just had her 6th! A boy!! So this one is #5. Isn't he adorable?
Created with a template by "the 80s me" and using a kit called Bee Attitudes which is a collab kit by Pretty Scrappy designers.
090522 Climb Phalen
I created this using Scrappy Shannon's Bundle of Bliss - a baby kit! Obviously very versatile.

090521 Amaria & Lisha
My 2 beautiful daughters, way back in summer of 2005! I used the gorgeous Summer Fun kit by Digilicious Scraps from A Cherry on Top and Digiscrapbook Mania. Purdy, eh? (Purdy is my word for the week apparently as I can't stop saying umm typing it)

My dog is so durn handsome, ain't he? I made this with a template by Color with Caryn and a kit called Down by the Dam by Bonnie VanEsch, both of Enchanted Studio Scraps.
090521 Amaria's 6
I love how the candles picture turned out, even if it is all blurry. This was made with a mini-kit by Chaos Lounge of Enchanted Studio Scraps, made for this challenge specifically.

This is my mom, me, my daughter, and my granddaughter in May, 2008. Wow. I made this using Stuff to Scrap's collab kit, A Mother's Moment.

090520 Flaunt It
Created for a motto/slogan challenge at Enchanted Studio Scraps. Used Best Friends kit by A+ Designs. Isn't she just such a ham?!
090520 Meech's Mentor
Poor Joel, he tried so hard. I made this for a quote challenge at Enchanted Studio Scraps using Mystical Garden, a designer collab kit from ESS.
090520 Joyfully Jumping
The greatest gift I ever got Amaria was this trampoline! She was always jumping all over the furniture, and rather than force her to deny her nature entirely, I just got her this. She jumped all the time, but it was now okay. I made this for her Storybook from Enchanted Studio Scraps using the Hip Hip Hooray kit by Charlie's Digiscraps.
090518 Taia's Boyfriend
At the youngest age, Jayden and Taia paid attention to each other. I didn't think babies did that! They are best pals. This is for the Scrapper's Choice challenge at Sunshine Studios using the Walkin on Sunshine collab kit from Sunshine.

090519 Our Flower
I used the Flower Seeds kit by Every After Moments for this layout for the Word of the Week (hope) challenge at Stuff to Scrap.
090519 Being Good
I made this page for 2 things - the "Elf Excerpt" challenge at Enchanted Studio Scraps (that top bit is part of a song called Ain't Misbehavin' by Louis Armstrong) and also for the paperclip tutorial by Hummie - if you look closely at the paperclip, you can see I made it look like it was popping up the paper below it. Cool, huh? Used Country Garden by Scrappyweiss Designs at Enchanted Studio Scraps.
090515 Watermelon Amaria
This is Amaria eating watermelon at a church New Member Sunday in 2008.
Created for a "Recipe Challenge" at Stuff to Scrap using the Shabby Watermelon kit (which I LOVE) by Just For You Digi-Scraps.
090518 Sweet Taia
Wow, that was a year ago. I can't believe she's grown so much since then! This was created for a Speed Scrap with the wonderful ladies at Stuff to Scrap using the Posh Baby kit by the awesome Jenasis Designs! (except the pink alpha - that was from Rain Rain, also by Jenasis).
090515 No 1 Girl
Well, so, you think Jeffrey was outside a lot that summer? And remember Amaria's Wizard of Oz obsession? Thus the Dorothy dress! This was made for a "Use It Or Lose It" challenge using a mini-kit from the Posh Baby kit by Jenasis Designs at Stuff to Scrap.
090516 1st Bday
I created this fun (though time-consuming) page for Sunshine Studio Scraps ad challenge, using Radar Love by the Wonder Girls at SSS.
090516 Zoe & Taia
I made this for a template challenge at Sunshine Studio using a template by Daisydil, and the kit Psychadelic Funk by Designz by Kristi.
090518 Start Date
This page was created for a lyric challenge - Barth Brooks has this song about unanswered prayers. And in the case of my hopefully lifelong job, that was sure true! I used the Sunshine collab kit Heaven Sent.
090516 Beautiful Taia
Look at that gorgeous little girl - can you stand it???? Anyway, this was created for an Outside the Box challenge at Sunshine studios using the Sweet Afternoon collab from SSS.

090518 Arts Fair
Amaria was so proud of her photography board at the first Arts & Academics fair she participated in. This is her FABULOUS teacher, Mrs Shea, who I truly wish could just be her teacher now for the rest of her life - she really encourages Amaria's abilities.
Created for a Color Sorcery challenge at Enchanted Studio Scraps (and also for a rounded-corner lesson at Hummie's World) using a template by Robyn Pali, and an ESS collab kit called It's A Playdate.

090514 No Meme Smile
I felt totally sad while making this page. If you know me, you know why. If not, enjoy the purdy brite colors and the Life's Inspiration kit by Stuff to Scrap designers - a collaboration.
090514 Peltier 2005
2-page layout from the 2005 Peltier Christmas party at Greg and Stevie's house. Just a few of my fave pix from that year. Used kit Fresh by Digi-Designs by Nicole & Stolen Moments. Created with a template by the awesome Nibbles Skribbles for Stuff to Scrap.

Poor Taia - she just hates the bath! I got her this cool duck, but it hasn't helped a bit. Ah, well.
Anyway, I made this page using a new kit by a new designer called Digilicious Designs. She has a shop (excuse me, shoppe!) over at A Cherry On Top so be sure to check her out!

090513 Zoo Girls
This was such fun! I "painted" these doodles with PSE brush tool, and felt almost like an artist! Almost...close enough for me. I made this for Pretty Scrappy doodle challenge - doodles by Nikki, and the kit is Cheerful by Share Your Moments.
090513 Amaria Jump
I love it when I can catch a pic of a kid mid-jump! Here's Amaria at the Morrison County Fair in 2005. For font challenge (used font Camden for word JUMP) from Enchanted Studio Scraps. Used kit Sunshine Sugar by Sara Ellis.
