ELLIE

I would like you to meet my "Grandpuppy". Her name is Ellie. Is she not the most adorable thing you've ever seen. You will see many pages of her in the near future. I'm puppy sitting tomorrow night. Photoshoot. She is a daschound (sp?), chihauhua (sp?) mix. We'll see what she looks like when she grows up. For now, I'll take tons of pictures. Faith bought her just this past friday.

Ellie

This is some of the new Kaiser Kraft paper. I really like it . . . as well as the other lines we have recently gotten in.

friends

I even got to another one of Faith's Graduation pictures. This is her with Shyla. Shyla has been her friend since elementary school. I got to use some of the new flocked My Mind's Eye paper with this one. I love the colors.

Hello Beautiful

It was so fun watching Jade try on Graduation dresses. She didn't try on too many before she tried on this one. Her boyfriend found it and the owner wanted to know what it looked like because it had only come in the day before. When she put it on, she exclaimed, "MOM, THIS IS IT" She new the minute she put it on she knew it was the one. I must admit it is fitting since when she was a little girl, she loved Belle from Beauty and the Beast. She loved the color yellow. As she got older, she wore anything but yellow. But this dress was the ultimate dress to finish the fantasy of being Belle.

Sweet One

I love these pictures of Jade. She loved ballet and was so good at it . . . I wish she could have continued. Such a sweet face . . . the paper matched so well.

Yet Another Look

I found some pictures of Jade the other day and looked at her hair. She has gone through some changed with her make-up and hair.

'77 Corvette

I have all of these beautiful pictures of this Cal's corvette. I just had to scrapbook one because I needed something different to scrapbook. As it ends up, I don't like the page . . . but I still like the picture.

I Want It Off

Lucas had his cast on throughout the summer. All he wanted was to have it taken off. We had to go to the hospital and have it re-exrayed and wait for them to decide whether it could come off or not. In the end, it was taken off and he was very much relieved.

Honor

I absolutely love the colors and patterns of this line. This is a tiny original picture of my parent's wedding. I guess that would mean it is 50 years old. I used some old architecture metals on it which worked well.

spud

Another line of basic grey. This was the .... whiskers line. Can't remember the name . . . max or something. Anyhow, I didn't use any of the pet paper; but used the patterns and I like it very much.

July '91

This is some more of the New Basic Grey paper that Ralna and Deb brought back with them. I really do like some of the new colors and patterns. They really match pictures and are easy to work with. This picture is of Faith and her cousin Gavin . . . way back when . . .

Dance

One of the perks of working at Just Scrap It is getting some of the new lines of paper before it is out for sale. We got some samples this week and us lucky girls got to put some pages together with it. this is from Basic Grey. These are my three daughters many years ago when they took Ballet lessons.

Happy 75th Dad

We are so blessed to have had my Dad around for his 75th Birthday. His family came from everywhere and we celebrated his monumentall day. We call ourselves . . . the original six.

Friends

Whenever Dionne sees a camera, she grabs it and snaps a picture of her and a friend. She has a ga-zillion pictures . . . because she has a ga-zillion friends. I got to use up some of my stash again on this page . . . Doesn't she have an amazing smile?

50 Years

On January 16th my Mom and Dad celebrated their 50th Wedding Anniversary. We had a small party for them at the nursing home with family and friends. Of course, it gave me the opportunity to take a few pictures to preserve the memory. Way to go Mom and Dad!!!

MOM

Every once in awhile, I get a good picture of my mom. I think she is like me . . . we look in pain in pictures. But, luckily this one I like and I think she will too.

SK8R Boy

I took this picture at Gramma and Grandpa's 50th Anniversary party. These are his favorite clothes. I used his favorite colors in this layout. It had to have some lime green with the blues and turquoises.

Christmas 2009

This was our last Christmas at my parents house. My mother has sold the house and bought a condo. I tried to take pictures of those certain things we always did at that house every Christmas Eve. These are just a couple of the pages and the cover.

Love of My Life

Donna and Jim are a very funloving couple. They get along so well all of the time. I had to take this picture of Jim, he always falls asleep after a meal and Donna is just . . . well . . . Donna.

IPod Apps

Dale couldn't figure out how to get the camera part of his IPOD working so my kids came to the rescue. Faith and him finally figured it out (I think).
