I adore my baby girl! I used the Say Cheese kit by Wimpy Chompers from Sunshine Studios to scrap this awesome memory of me and Amaria!

As I am the picture taker, there aren't all that many pix of me and Amaria together. So the few that there are will ALL get into Amaria's book. Here's one of them! I used Bahama Mama collab kit from Sunshine Studios Scrap.

Here you go, Emma! That's your boy! A true tree hugger is Brennan! I LOVE this photo - he just told me he wanted to hug the tree, so of course, my camera was ready. I used Welcome to the Jungle kit by Designz by Kristi at Sunshine Studios.

I keep making pages saying "this is one of my favorite pix of Amaria" - well, let's face it, she's very adorable and very photogenic! So this is another one of my fave pix of Amaria! I made this page using the Backyard Garden by Kristi W of Sunshine Studio Scraps.

I've been scrapping so many "old" photos I thought I would do some recent ones - this is the most recent visit David's family made. I used the Welcome to the Jungle kit by Designz by Kristi at Sunshine Studio Scraps.

I was so proud of Amaria for giving this a try and learning so quickly! I used Sunshine Studios collab kit Sunny ADSR for this fun summetime layout!

I made this layout with the first kit I ever bought from Sunshine Studios - Sunny ADSR (not sure what the ADSR stands for).

I'm working my way thru pix of Amaria thru the years so I can give them to her for her 10th birthday in a big book by Blurb. This is her 3rd birthday - she was so completely obsessed with Wizard of Oz! I used Make A Wish by Stolen Moments and Trixie Scraps from Sunshine Studio Scraps.

Beauty - Then & Now

This is one of my first digi layouts back in 2005 when page kits were rare & not so much free! I created my own background pulling color from the photo. My extraction was not too impressive - note the wall still connected to the back of her head! But this pic and this poem went together for me the moment I saw this pic!

I basically like the way the layout is as far as positioning - well the pic kind of had to be where it is based on the edges of it. I made the sweater so I didn't want to cut or dissolve that out of the pic. And I didn't want to flip her to look the other way because I like her looking this way. So I decided that instead of matching the colors of the skin and sweater, I would use bright & contrasting colors. I got the wall out of her head, played around a bit with saturation, and kept with the night time theme by using the Wynken Blynken & Nod kit. And I like this layout, tho it's not that much different, much better!

090604 Amaria & Jeannie

This is one of my fave laugh photos of Amaria - she just laughs so completely and puts her whole self into it! Jeannie was cracking up at Amaria cracking up. They were at Mary Schifsky's house for Leah's baby shower for John. I created this for the Sunshine scrap-a-thon using their collab kit Walking on Sunshine.

090603 Hello

090603 Hello, originally uploaded by knittinjen.

I've always loved this photo of Conal, Ginny, and Amaria, though it is not a high quality photo (kind of part washed out and parts were too dark). But through digi-scrapping, I was able to use it despite the flaws! This is my nephew Conal & his Gramma Ginny, and my little girl Amaria (when she was REALLY little!). Used A Sunny Day by Mary's Scrapdesigns at Sunshine Studios for their 1st Anniversary Scrap-a-Thon!

090602 Lovely Taia

I take zillions of digital photos, and this is why. Every once in awhile, you just get a picture so PERFECTLY BEAUTIFUL - as this one is of Taia. That smile, those eyes - I could look at this little kid all day. She is such a joy! For this page I used the kit Lovely by Mel Hains at Scrap That Idea.

Ike is only in 5th grade, if you can believe it! He's one of the nicest kids - which makes sense cuz he has awesome parents! Karen is the Interim Children's Ministry Director, and really fun! These are people from the church I work at, St Stephen. For this page I used Apple Spice by Mel Hains at Scrap That Idea.

Amaria had so much fun at this fair! I used School Days by Sweet Blossom at Scrap That Idea.
