Rollin', rollin', rollin'......




Lots going on as always. This LO was made with my Week Four Kit "Springtime Serenade". You can get the kit for free by clicking on the preview and VOTING!! I made the LO for the Quote Challenge over at DigitalScrapGarden. All images are clickable for credit/product info.






This LO was also made for a challenge.Muma over at GoDigitalScrapbooking issued a challenge to do an "Art Journal" page. I do a lot of my journaling in letter form, so even though it maybe doesn't follow "traditional" journaling, it's what works for me.








We had a fabulous time over at our family Pioneer Day celebration. This layout details the traditional "Eat a Cricket" ceremony...and YES, Gabby did actually eat it.











This LO was made for another challenge at DigitalScrapGarden...Mojo asked us to make a LO about where we live. I used my friend, Liz's fantastic French Countryside Kit.








I finally got around to scrapping Alanna's first day of Kindergarten. I tell you what, I don't know that it got any easier the second and now third time around.








This is one of my favorites, probably because it's so different from my usual LO's. This was a fun, fun kit to work with. I made it for Veronica's Quote Challenge at GoDigitalScrapbooking.







And last but not least is this LO showing off our garden produce. We're not "serious gardeners" but it's been fun to see things growing. The kids love it and they plants are Mario's babies. More later I'm sure, and if you would, GO VOTE for my Week Four Kit "Springtime Serenade." Thanks!!

Great Balls of Fire!!




Boy have things been busy. I feel like I can hardly keep up some days...

Check out Dancing Princess Designs (link on the sidebar) to see my Week Three Entry for the DigitalScrapGarden The Garden's Got Talent Contest. We had a fun teal/grey palette to work with and a theme of "Days of Winter." So don't forget to check out "Winter Rhapsody" (Sophia came up with the name...AWESOME, eh?) and VOTE for Week Three starting Sunday August 10th. The layout at the top is made with Winter Rhapsody.

Here are my recent layouts: (all clickable for product info)



The kids had a great time at our family Pioneer Day celebration....they really enjoyed the water party as you can see above....Sophia switched back and forth between "hunter" and "hunted" once the water balloons came out.


This one of the girls (2 years ago) that I made using my Autumn's Whisper (Week Two Entry).


I'm finally getting around to scrapping some older photos. This is Ellie doing the toilet thing. I used a new release by One Memory At A Time for this and the next one.


Alanna's ear piercing experience on her birthday, December 21, 2006.


I have a challenge posted at GoDigitalScrapbooking that asks for participants to make a layout about "Who I am." I figured I'd better do a layout for my own challenge and used a kit I made called Wedgewood (featured in a post on DancingPrincessDesigns last week).


Do Not Disturb features Isa making chalk masterpieces 3 years ago. This shot was CLASSIC Isa, and I finally got around to doing something with it.


My Week 1 assignment at GoDigitalScrapbooking was their awesome collab kit "Nature's Breath." I had taken this photo of Mario last week, and thought it would be the perfect showcase for the theme I was going for. Ain't he cute?

Gabby's "Lovey" deserved a special LO....hopefully she won't still have it when she gets married and will someday appreciate her unique relationship with this little stuffed kitty that Ellie gave her for Christmas 2 years ago.

And last but not least, Sammie. Poor girl's been sick with a cold, but she still had a smile Sunday when I pulled out the camera. She's a great girl!! (This kit is another new release by One Memory At A Time....that girl is a machine...she cranks out so many AWESOME kits one after the other. If you're into digital...check her out!!)

Truthfully, they are all great girls. And did I mention I can't WAIT for school to start?

More soon!
