4-17-09 today's layout



I love this layout! Obviously I don't do a lot of PINK in my layouts, especially christmas layouts! But the picture just looked right with Amy's pink shirt so I am glad I went with my instincts. Lots and lots of stamping on this one, took me some time, but it was definately worth it in the end. Hope you have a great weekend, see you on monday!

4-16-09 today's layout



I know it is hard to believe, but here it is: more blue and orange for your viewing enjoyment! How precious are these pictures of my older sister? Love them, love the 70's era clothes, love it all! We are so lucky to have so many pictures of our family from years and years ago, I have memories as a small child spending hours looking at old photo's, I guess even back then I was destined to be a scrapbooker! Thanks for stopping by, see ya tomorrow!

4-15-09 today's layout




This layout is for Chase's eleventh birthday, of course it seems as though it was just yesterday! I think I love the blue/green combo ALMOST as much as blue and orange!

4-14-09 today's layout




This layout documents a ritual visit to Eskimo Joe's in Stillwater, whenever we go to Texas we try to detour east just enough to eat a burger at the famous resteraunt. Unfortunately, on this particular visit-Chase was not feeling up to par. (we found out a day or so later he was getting the flu-yuck) In fact he was feeling so bad, he didn't even eat-those of you who know Chase knows this is VERY UNUSUAL BEHAVIOR! So he sat there, drinking a sprite feeling very sad. I am sure the next visit to Eskimo Joe's will be much much better!

4-13-09 today's layout




Well, unfortunately no "fresh" layouts today. Too many easter activities and housework I had to catch up on this weekend. But, I do have an old favorite for you today! Wishing there was some sunshine outside to go with it....

I did this layout some time ago, but I love love love it. Haven't done too many overlays-although I don't know why, I think they are FABULOUS. I think my baby boy's cheesy grin in the photo is just irristable! Have a great weekend, see you on monday-hopefully with some new fresh layouts.

4-9-09 today's layout





This is page 3 of "Design Your Life" album, and sadly-the last page I have completed thus far in the album. It is a 2 page 8 1/2 x 11 of my newest nephew Aidan's gorgeous newborn pictures. I could not find a bad shot out of any of the pictures that were taken, I have no idea how my sister EVER decided which ones to get-SERIOUSLY. I did this layout several weeks ago, and when I was taking pictures last night I almost feel like it needs something; like it is almost TOO simple. But I suppose there is something to be said for simple, right?
Until tomorrow!

4-6-09 Today's Layout






This is the first page of an online class from Cathy Zeleskie (my sweet sister was generous enough to share with me) called "Design Your Life". It will eventually be an entire 12x12 album, provided I ever finish it, LOL! Bloggger would not let me post all the pic's that I took, so I had to choose my fav's.

4-3-09 today's layout



Last summer we had the opportunity to swim at a friends house where they have an inground pool with a diving board. Chase is a water baby, he has always loved to swim and play in any kind of water, but I love these candid shots where you can really see the enjoyment on his face-and I can not believe that he was brave enough to go off the diving board. (We have since tried to get him to go off the diving board at our city pool and he won't do it, LOL!) Again, one of my favorite color combo's orange and blue! This is the last of the layouts I did at the crop, guess that means I am going to have to get some scrappin' done this weekend in order to continue posting layouts everyday! Hope you have a great weekend-see ya on Monday.

sorry, I lost track of what day I am on...



I fell in LOVE with the shots that my mom took of Aiden sitting in her laundry basket on the washer. The story goes, she was getting some chores done and didn't want to leave him unattended, so she plopped his bottom into the basket to keep him corralled while she put the clothes in the dryer. The look on his face is just priceless-so sober...so "I am not amused"!
