Sweet

And the answer is "yes" I am getting to the end of my Ellie pictures. When the kids don't want their picture taken, what do you do. Take pictures of what allows you to . . . Ellie. New paper inspires doesn't it. Cute pup, cute page.

First Slurpee

This is the picture of Ellie and the slurpee. I finally scrapbooked it. Isn't it the cutest thing you've ever seen. What a puppy!

Chew Toy

You know how kids play with the boxes their toys come in. Well, Ellie decided her brush was a better chew toy than any of the chew toys Faith bought for her. She looked so funny trying to drag this thing around. It was larger than her almost.

Ellie

This is the first picture I ever took of Ellie.

Ouch

Just another page of Ellie. This is the night I took care of Ellie for Faith. Just after 5am Ellie peed on my bed. As I was taking the sheets off, she pooped on my bed. After the clean up that seemed to take forever, she wanted to play. We sat on the floor and she nibbled on my toes. She looked so cute, I had to take some pictures. The Kaiser line worked so well for this page.

Hello Beautiful

This page was done to show just how small Ellie is. This is her at my front steps. That day she learned to climb steps. The flower is made from scraps, chalk inked and painted with the glimmer pots. It turned out good I think.

Baby Ellie

Faith wanted to remember just how small Ellie was when she got her. These are Faith's and Mike's cell phones. This line of paper works so well with her collar and her new blanket.

Family Portrait

I decided to make Ellie a blanket to sleep on. When I was done, I made some funny mitts for Faith and Mike picked up this scrap and put it on like a tie. I had to take pictures. He wasn't impressed that I called this one picture a family portrait . . . but it makes a funny page.

One Cool Puppy

So, we finally have a nice warm day . . . which means my kids want slurpees. I have to get ahold of Faith to see where she is, so I get Lucas to text her . . . because I am driving. The next thing you know, Ellie is chowing down on Lucas's slurpee. Actually, she is just chewing on it . . . but what a great picture . . . No one said you couldn't take pictures and drive!!

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 . . .
