December DT reveal

Lauri sent me Pink Paislee Amber Road line. I haven't worked with a full line of Pink Paisley in my DT kit before and I have to say it is fun stuff. I loved the matching punch outs, clear border stickers and Post Card paper.
If you have some fall pictures to scrap this is the line you need to add to your Scrap Attack Scrapbooking wish list.
The Prima Cherry blossoms worked perfectly with this paper line.
The punch outs were great as the title, layering under the title, journaling and embellies.

reasons to be Thankful!

Every day I count my blessings!

I have my family ...
a beautiful home ...
plenty to eat ...
and a granddaughter that keeps us laughing and of course provides me with lots and lots of picture opportunities.

These are pictures from Thanksgiving 2008. May each of you have a wonderful Thanksgiving!

older pictures

I get so caught up in doing recently taken photos it's hard to make myself go back and scrap some of the older pictures. I recently ran across these photos of Jennifer. This would have been her 2nd Halloween.

Did you know November 6th is Pumpkin carving Day? They must have decided on this holiday before people started carving jack-0-lanterns for Halloween. "1st Dig" was for the November Wacky holiday challenge on Scrap Attack Scrapbooking.

"Noze" is for a color challenge onScrap Attack Scrapbooking message board - needed to use at least 3 colors, chosen from orange, green, purple, black and white - pretty easy when doing Halloween pages. :)

"Hugs" is a Croppy Cat of Nadine's roller skating layout in the Scrap Attack gallery. Thank you for the inspiration Nadine!

November ad challenge

Did someone say "November" - geesh the year is flying by!
With a new month comes another ad challenge on Scrap Attack Scrapbooking Message Board.


I'm so glad Jim kept some of the South Dakota magazines, they have some great ads. I chose this ad for the photo placement and blocking. Another ad that lends itself to a lot of possibilities.

If you get inspired, please jump over to the SAS gallery and post your layout, I'd love to see your interpretation.

October ad challenge

I am just like everyone else - wondering where September went! With a new month comes another ad challenge on Scrap Attack Scrapbooking Message Board. I love loooking for ads that I hope will inspire our members to scrap another layout. I chose this ad for the fall colors and photo placement. I think this one lends itself to a lot of possibilities. If you get inspired, please jump over to the SAS gallery and post your layout, I'd love to see your interpretation.

These pictures are of our oldest daughter in 1976.

Hungry Ghost Day

These pictures of our oldest DD in 1975 weren't in the best shape, but just to cute not to scrap. The bat was cut from some pp, I used the Sakura glaze pens from the Scrap Attack Scrapbooking store to highlight the edges and facial features, then added the "google eyes". This LO was done for the Wacky Holidays listed on the SAS message board.
