This is our 4th year and hopefully we will have many more celebrations. Our family gets bigger every year and this year was no exception. If we ever invite the extended family to one of these I'll have to get a professional photographer to get us all in to one shot. Just herding everyone into this picture was some feat. Still, we had a great time and it is so wonderful to have everyone together again.
For some reason, this was really a challenge for me. I dunno why, just was.
I thought I posted this along with the page with my grandson's baseball page. Not sure so here it is again. My little glamour girl, now 8 1/2, Madie.
I was cleaning out my old digital photos to lessen the load on my computer and came across some older photos that I didn't scrap. Why? Too busy I guess. Anyway, the next two posts are the two I've done so far.
This is my grandson when he was in high school (he's now getting ready to graduate college :( ) I made the background paper using another photo.
Yeah, I can't scrap my cats without scrapping my favorite pet, my dog Bailey. Bailey has come through a very hard year and at 10 years of age we thought we were going to lose him. He went from 110 lbs. to 87.5 in a year. I'm not sure why he is suddenly doing better but I pray it continues for a lot more years :)
Here's my big guy with my other big guy...
Here we go with another challenge. This time the challenge was to use 1 picture, 3 brads, 3 punches, 3 Designer Papers, 2 colors of cardstock, 2 stamp sets, and a title using one of the 2 stamp sets. Whew! Didn't spend too much time on this one or I think I could have done a better job with the colors. Anyway, here it is...
After looking at it I decided to change it up and add pics of my other 2 kitties. I like this better even if I'm not crazy about the colors.
Thanks for stopping by :) Katherine
I felt sort of sad as I started scrapping these pics from the past couple of years of Drew's baseball at the University of Transylvania. He is now a senior and this will be his last year of baseball. I have followed his play from t-ball at 4 years of age through b-ball at the age of 21. Where has the time gone :( I can still remember my mom having t-shirts made with Drew's t-ball #10 on the back with his name. She had them made for me, his mom, and herself and we wore them to all of his games. She followed him too as he played through little league. She only stopped when she was called home to be with our Lord in January of 1999. I like to think she continues to follow us all.
Catching up with my scrapbooking is so much fun. I was working on my "It's All About Me" pages but it's so much more fun to scrap my grandbabies. Well, they are not much babies in the physical sense but they will always be my "babies."
I was so proud of my sweet Emi during her high school freshmen team tournament. She played well, scoring lots of points and helping make points on most plays. In this tournament they won the gold and it was Emi's final spike that won it. I love watching my #10 play...
I wanted to keep posting as I add pages to my, "It's All About Me" scrapbook. It's a slow work in progress but I am determined to keep at it. This was the last of the pages, bad I know, but will get back to work on it soon, I hope.
...and, of course, pink and black are my favorite colors for a season :)
An Update: It's a winner! That's right, I won the challenge and a prize of digital add-ons for my MDS. Wow, was I shocked. It's very motivating and I've been scrappin' daily since...
As a working demonstrator, I never found enough time to participate in creative challenges. In this case it was a design challenge, a black and white placement layout. You get to choose papers, inks, embellishments, and of course, your photos. I'm pretty sure this won't win anything because there are so many talented ladies involved, but I had fun doing it and it has inspired me to start scrapping again. Here is the challenge and my entry.
Constructive criticism welcome :)
