Happy Valentine's Day

Valentine's Day is coming up quickly, and so far I only have two cards done. These are the two cards I made for my nieces Rachel and Kendra. I needed to get them done because they have the farthest to travel...all the way to Texas.

There are a couple other Valentine's pending in my head - I just have to get them made before I loose the ideas! So, hopefully there are more pics to come...

Camping Layouts

Another day of trying to clear the deck of unfinished layouts. These are three layouts from a camping trip well over a year ago. They really are better than the photos show...not the greatest quality. Glad to get the wrapped up and in my album anyhow.

Yet Another Layout...

Now that I look back, it seems I was really into 'squares' at this particular crop when I was putting these together. Oh well...they are still pretty cute, even as basic as they are.

More Layouts

Still cleaning up those loose ends. More layouts to follow...

Back to School Time

A few days ago, my mom asked me to make a couple cards for her. My nieces are headed back to school and she wanted to send them cards with some back-to-school fun money inside. I gave her these two cards this morning on my way to work, so she could get them off in the mail - those kids seem to go back to school early in Texas!

I hope Rachel and Kendra like their cards, and what's inside!!

40th Birthday Layouts

Here are two layouts I finished a couple weeks ago and never posted.

In December 2007, a large group of my friends all headed to Troutdale, OR to McMenamin's Edgefield to celebrate Fred and Troy both turning 40 (within about a month of each other).

Genuine Classic

Today is my dad's birthday, although he's been working so hard, I'm sure he doesn't really even realize it! Poor bugger is working all night, sleeping all day, then getting up and doing it all over again.

This is the card I made for him last night. I hope he doesn't think I'm calling him 'old' by calling him a classic. I purchased a couple tee shirts for him for his special day, and one of them had classic cars on it...so I just kind of went with that theme. When he looks at it this afternoon through tired, groggy eyes, I hope he likes it!

Happy Birthday Dad!

One In A Melon

This is a card I made last night for my co-worker April, whose birthday is today. She's a bit of a crazy girl, or as she says, 'a hoot', so I wanted to let her know she really is one of a kind.

Queen For A Day

Next week is my niece Rachel's 13th birthday. She's very much a girly-girl, so I wanted to make some kind of card that reflected that. I thought the princess (or queen) theme was a pretty good fit for her. I hope she likes it.

This is my take on a card I found by Enfys that inspired me - or that I scraplifted - you choose! :) You can check her version out here...

Portland Trip

Here are a coule layouts that I did at a scrap I went to in the fall. They sat around the scrap room through the holidays, waiting for the finishing touches and some journaling. Please excuse the photos, they are a bit muted, as I'm am just figuring out all the bells and whistles on my NEW camera that just arrived yesterday :)

This was a girls trip to Portland for Billie's birthday, and our second round of tatoos (excluding Kim of course!).

New Layout

Here's a 2-page layout I finished at our last Croppin' at the Fire Station...it just needed the journaling added, which I just finished today. March '06...yes, I'm behind!!

Thanks Snow Much

I can't believe two months have come and gone in a flash. Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year's are only memories...and now back to the norms of everyday life. This is a Thank You card I made for a few folks to express gratitude for wonderful Christmas Gifts. Hopefully this will get my juices flowing, and the creativity will return, and you will see many new posts soon!

Happy Birthday Brittany

Can you believe our Brittany Lee is 17 now??? I certainly can not!!!

Snow Angel

OH Baby!
