Atlanta Pages

I'm reeeeaaallly trying to keep up with my digi scrapbooking and have almost finished my 2009 pages - yeah for me!  I just completed my pages from my work trip to Atlanta last September.  I'm pleased with how they turned out. 

I loved that at the Coca-Cola World they had all kinds of art. It was pretty cool and I just loved all the colors! I used an overlay from Royanna Fritschmann for the scratches on the red paper. 

The papers and embellishments from this page are from Christine Mortimer's (Digi-Licious Designs) Shutterbug Kit. 

My sister Katie and I are getting ready to go away for our annual scrapbooking crop ~so excited! 4 full days of no kids whining, school activities or expectations and lots of scrapping!!  So, I'll have some new pages and Cinda from Digital Compilations will have a new kit!  Stay tuned...

Thanks for looking.

Sassy Lil Sketches March 14th Reveal

Good Morning all!! Sassy Lil Sketches has a new reveal today!!  The really cool thing this month is that Nikki Sivils sent us her papers to use!  So, we had a great sketch by Cherie and Nikki Sivils papers to use!  How could we go wrong!?  

Below is another great sketch that Cherie came up with for us ~

Usually I do 12X12 pages, but I've scanned some of the kids old pictures that I've never scrapped and I've been working on those.  The older books for the kids are 8 1/2 X 11 so that is the page I worked with.  This one is from Mitchell's 2nd birthday.  All papers and embellishments are from the It's Your Day kit by Nikki Sivils.

Please be sure to jump over to Sassy to check out the other great sketches, or hop on over to the Sassy forum and join us for some scrapping chatter!  Thanks for stopping by :)

Sassy Lil Sketches - February 14th Reveal!

Being part of the Sassy Lil Skeches design team, I'm excited about my first pages with them today for their February 14th Reveal today!!! Below is another great sketch from Cherie over at Sassy Lil Sketches Blog!

I had fun with this sketch and even wound up doing doing 2 pages based on it!

I hope you get a chance to stop on over at Sassy and check out the other design team pages, sketches and chatter! Thanks for stopping by.

I'm so behind on posting!

I've done quite a few pages over the past 2 weeks and just have not gotten on here to post! So, first I'll post my pics from the Statue of Liberty. I used This City kit from Digital Compilations by Cinda.

Love it ~ just perfect for my pics!

Sydney and I were driving to my sister's a few weeks ago (about an hour drive) and she was going through my CDs. Somehow the conversation got back to a song I listened to all the time when I was pregnant with her and she was little. It is Tell Me Why by Pat Benatar from the For Our Children cd. Also, recently I've been scanning in a lot of older photos. So, since I had some photos of Sydney when she was little and I decided I needed to do a page for her. The papers and embellishments are from the Fo Shizzle Kit by Just Jaimee. I was also happy that it was selected on a "Made You Look Monday" picture on Faith Sisters!

Then, since I did a page for Syd, I did one for Mitchell too! Papers and embellishments from

Roy Boy kit by Royanna Fritschmann. I still have to do a page of the song I listened to when I was pregnant with him... I'll ge there.

Thanks for stopping by!

Great News!!

I am so excited and honored to have been asked to be part of the creative team for Digital Compilations by Cinda!!!  Yeah!  She has some great kits at Divine Digital and Faith Sisters, so be sure to check them out. 

I am new to Faith Sisters and I must say I am really loving it!  What a great place and nice atmosphere.  I'm just navigating my way around but I've already noticed they have some great challenges. 

So, I already did a page with Digital Compilations by Cinda's new kit, Journey, and this is it! The pictures were perfect for this kit.

Thanks for stopping by!!

Family Playdate and Beach Pages

Previously I posted about the great pics that my sister Katie took for me and the family (they are in the header of my blog too), at the playground. I finished some cute layouts with them. I did a few because some are for my books and some are for the kids books.

I think this one is my favorite. I don't normally work with black and white, but I love how this turned out. Papers and embellishments from Shabby Princess. Stitching brush from Obsidian Dawn. LO from sketch by Cherie Averill at Sassy Lil Sketches.

I love how simple this one is and of course I love the pic of Syd and I.

Circles brushes from Obsidian Dawn.

I'm so happy with how this Old Orchard Beach, Maine page turned out! The ferris wheel picture has no editing ~ it is exactly how I took it at sunset. I color matched the brown sunset to create the background layer. Papers and embellishments from Royanna Fritschmann's Wish You Were Here kit.

Thanks for stopping by!
