Some older pictures

I have been scrapping some of my older pictures lately. I have been scanning a little at a time so I can get them scrapped. For some of the older ones, I have to do a little repair work in photoshop to take out any blemishes on the picture itself. For these two layouts I used the kit Vintage Valentine by Sweet-Made. Also for my brothers and sisters layout I tried a new effect on the pictures. I was very pleased with the results. Well, thats all for now, see you around the next time.

Two more

Oh yes, I have 2 more layouts to share and I really liked they way they turned out. You may have noticed (or not) that I have been trying to put a little more journaling in my layouts. I love how journaling completes the layout but it slows me down a little as I never know what to write. Well we are almost at the end of January. My daughters midterms started today. She has midterms all next week. I told her that she doesn't even have 5 months left before graduation. Wow, it really is so hard to believe. Anyway, back to my layouts. For these 2 layouts, I used the January 2009 Monthly Mega "Sugar and Spice" by The SAS-y Design Team. This really is a pretty kit, with so much to work with. Thanks so much for stopping by.

Still Scrappin

Ok, so its been a few days since I uploaded any new layouts. Well I did do a few that I haven't posted because truthfully it does take up a lot of time to post these layouts. I know I should just save them and do them all at once but I like to post them as I finish them. For these two layouts, (My Son and his wife and My oldest daughter and her husband), I used the kit Oh La La by Ashalee Wall. I don't have too many current pictures of my older children. That's because my Son hates for me to take his picture and my older daughter lives 3 hours away.

Rolling, Rolling, Rolling...

Yep, that's me, just rolling along, making new layouts. For these two layouts I used this oooh so pretty kit 'Tis the Season by Sweet-Made. We had a little snow here but it wasn't too bad as it was very fine. It was so easy to shovel as it was like picking up powder. The only thing is that its cold out. Well cold for me, its about 18 degree's outside. Cold enough to make my hands hurt when I went out to shovel. Well I am off to post these layouts. Talk to you soon.

Wowza, Wowza, Wowza

Am I on a roll or what. I can't believe it, I have four more layouts to show. The first two layouts (the ones on the bottom) are some pictures of my Son when he was just a little boy. I wasn't sure how they would come out as the pictures are old. He is 36 now and the camera wasn't a very good one. But after scanning them I played with them a little in photoshop to lighten them up a bit. The kit I used for those two layouts was Kids At Play by Ellen Massey of Stone Accents Studio This was a fun kit to work with and just great for little boy pictures. For the two top layouts I used some old family photos, In the top layout, the pictures were taken at my oldest daughters wedding. For these two layouts I used the kit Midnight Garden by Monika Designs also from SAS. Well thanks so much for stopping by, I hope you enjoyed your visit.

Back on track!!

No No, not another blog train. I just meant that I am back on track in scrapbooking. I didn't make not one layout in the month of December. I just felt so bad not fulfilling my duties as a CT member. I am so grateful that everyone was so understanding. So now I am trying to do some catch up. Not that I have to, but it only seems right. So for your viewing pleasure, I have 4 new layouts to show. For the two Christmas layouts, starring my beautiful granddaughter's I used the kit Happy Ho Ho by Mamrotka of Stone Accents Studio. For my other two layouts, starring my two beautiful daughters I used the kit For Little Girls - Sugar & Spice by mITSYBELLE also of Stone Accents Studio. So yes, I am back and hopefully can stay on track. I still am busy with my daughter's college applications. Well not exactly the applications but the requirements for her art portfolio. Every college wants something different and they are not specific on their instructions online. So I have been calling the colleges and trying to get to the right people who know the answers and let me tell you this is no easy task. I can't tell you the countless hours I have already spent on the phone. I just can't wait for all this to be over. Oh but the good news is., is that we have already received three letters of acceptance. One being her number one pick. So even though we were accepted into her number one, she just wants to be certain that it is the best choice. Well enough chit chat for now, I am off to upload these layouts. Thanks for looking.

Isn't life grand?

Oh yes, as I sit here in front of my brand new HP all in one touch screen computer doing what I truely enjoy, I say Isn't life just wonderful. Sometimes I just enjoy seeing my screensaver come up and displaying my layouts, lol. I still have alot of transfering from my old computer but a little at a time. Maybe this will help me organize everything I have. I do have 2 new layouts to show. The kit I used for these layouts is Snow Princess by Cathy Cher of Stone Accents Studio. It was really a pretty kit to work with. The pictures I used were from Christmas Eve at my youngest daughters boyfriends house. I thought it was so nice that his parents invited us. They had so much delicious food and appetizers, its just making me hungry thinking about it. They not only invited me and my youngest daughter but also my older daughter and her husband. We all had a wonderful time.

Happy New Year!!!

I can't believe we are in 2009 already. Boy time really does fly. Well it does for me, in fact time is flying by too quickly for my likes. I had a very nice Christmas, my oldest daughter came down and I had my family all together, even if it was only for a few days. My youngest daughters boyfriends parents invited me for Christmas eve and New Years eve. I just think that it was so nice of them. They are really nice people. I know I haven't been here for quite awhile but things just have been too hectic. College applications, visiting colleges, babysitting, Christmas shopping, wrapping, visiting with family and New Years, just to name a few. Hopefully things will quiet down a little, just the way I like it. I still have a little more to do with college preparations, like meetings with the college advisor but then it will be a sit and wait game. I just can't wait till all this is over and done with. I have been neglecting my scrapbooking but hopefully I can get back on track now. I have 2 new layouts to show, I used the November 2008 "Winter Wonderland" Mega Kit made by the very talented designers of Stone Accents Studio.
