These are some cards I am doing for a door prize for our church's ladies retreat. I didn't have time to sit down and make them in the hybrid fashion, so I used my digiscrapping know-how. It made for a quick set of cards. All the cards use the WInter Ponies kit from http://www.shabbymissjenndesigns.com/. All the vintage photos are family photos.

18 years ago today after lunch at Taco Bell, my sweet hubby proposed to me at Randol Mill Park in Arlington...in the rain. It was so sweet. There is a little creek that winds thru the park and it has several bridges and he asked me to get out of the car. I was like "hey Sherlock, it's raining." He insisted. So, I got out. And we started walking.....in the rain. When we got on the bridge, he

I did this page using the same technique I used on Sidney's last page. I love this look. It's just very simple and understated. We were on vacation at the La Cantera resort in San Antonio, Texas and Brady Boy was taking a rest and I got this picture of him. I absolutely love this picture. Funny thing is, I got the exact same pic of Sidney. Not Kolby though. He doesn't sit still long enough!! Have

Here's a page I did spontaneously. I received a newsletter and it had a page done similar to this. They used Photoshop, but I do not have PS, so I tried to recreate it with Publisher. All in all, I am pretty happy with it. Very simple.

Here are a couple more pages that I have completed. This first one is Brady and Kolby. THey were having so much fun that day playing. Its great when they WANT to play together, but heaven forbid I make them!! This page uses the Boystown from Scrapadelic. Ronna Penner is the designer. Cool kit. The second page is from our vacation. Michael's little brother came and spent the day with us at Moody

I just did this quick page. I absolutely love the fact that Kolby and Sidney got my eyes. No one ever says any of my kids look like me, but NO ONE can deny the fact that the little ones got my brown eyes. I remember growing up thinking that blue eyes were best. Everyone always comments on how pretty someones blue eyes are. And, don't get me wrong, I know lots of pretty blue eyes. But look at this

It's great to have so many great family photo's that really lend themselves so well to some of the sentiments I have rolling around in my head. These two cards I made today just kinda had me laughing to myself the whole time. The first card is a set of twins that are in my family somewhere down the line. Not sure where. And as the mother of twins, I guess I have them to thank for it. I have been

I am not a computer wizard, to say the least. Most people that are digiscrappers use some version of Photoshop. I use Publisher. Its what I have and what I know how to use...sorta. I see a Photoshop class in my future if the "powers that be" approve it, but for now, Publisher will have to do. So, when I wanted to do Kolby's page as a mirror image of Sidney's Christmas page, it took some playing,

OK, just in myself. I can not stop making pages!! About this whole digiscraping thing, I just can not figure out why in the world someone wants to drag out all the paper, ink, adhesive, photos, buttons, ribbon, glitter, brads, eyelets and whatever else you drag out. Now don't get me wrong. This is EXACTLY what I do when I do my vintage cards. But I gotta tell ya, being able to do a digiscrap

Tuesday, January 22, is the birthday of our sweet friend, Baby Logan. Baby Logan was born with just half a heart. She lived mightily for 8 weeks. She had her heavenly birthday on March 22, 2004. With Logan's half heart, she taught us to love with our whole heart. I made this little page for her. I have it mounted on a chipboard coaster and will have it attached to her flowers when we go to the

We were at Moody Gardens in Galveston and Sidney literally went from mad to happy in 60 seconds flat. It was so funny. Plus, I just happened to catch it with my camera!! So, I had to do her a page since I did both boys one!! Gotta be fair. This is the Modish Girl kit from www.shabbyprincess.com No more tonight. I promise!!

The first one is for my cousin, Chad. He just earned his Eagle Scout badge and we are so proud of him. The vintage picture on his is his grandfather when he was a scout. The second is my sweet Kolby at Schlitterbahn. I was in the kiddie pool for the ENTIRE day because he is a tad scared of the water. It was nice in a way though, because he and I had the whole day together....just he and I.

Can you believe I actually managed 2 pages today and its only 11:16. I've cleaned my bathrooms and even vacuumed. So I can't possibly imagine that I will ever do the "traditional" scrappin again!!

OK, this is my very first attempt at a digiscrap page. Even though I did do our family Christmas cards, this page is going in either an album or possibly a frame. I absolutely love it. I found a digiscrap shop that so beyond cool. The stuff is shabby and vintage. Love it!! You can go see it at http://www.shabbymissjenndesigns/. Go check her out!!

Well, atleast, I hope I can get some more cards up. I honestly have not sat down and made any cards since October!! I am itching to do so too. So, hopefully this week, I can get to it. For Christmas, I made my parents and my inlaws frames. My parents had pics of their mom and dad and for my inlaws, I did 2 frames. One with their 3 boys and one with their 3 girls. I will post pics of my inlaws.

These are the cards I made for Kolby and Sidney. I didn't do anything as far as sentiments on the outside because I am going to frame them. Thanks for looking.

My babies are turning 5 on Sunday. So hard to believe that 5 years ago Kolby and Sidney came in weighing 4 lbs and 4 lbs 4 oz. They have changed so much. I am so proud of them. Sidney is sweet and beautiful. Kolby is sweet and adventureous (to say the least). If one doesn't think of something, the other one does. They are each others best playmate and each others own worst enemy 5 minutes

This is the card I made for my OLDEST brother, Mike. His birthday is this week. He always used to watch The Lone Ranger. My grandparents had him once at their house and thought it would be a GREAT idea to dress him up in his western finest and get his picture taken. I am ever so glad they did that. How can you help but not poke fun at him?? I mean, hello?? Can you say Happy Birthday Kimosabe??

Here are some cards that I worked on yesterday. They are all for an order that was placed by a sweet lady. I love making them when they are so well received. All the images are family photos. I usually have a smirk/smile on my face as I put a card together when I get to the sentiment. I try to really match the sentiment to the image. Now, it might only make sense to me or one of my family

This is the card that started it all. My friend, Melissa, was having a birthday. I had been looking thru my stash of papers, cardstock, embelishments and so forth. I didn't want to stamp a card, but I wanted to make a card. For me stamping is just too time consuming. Plus it just sucked out all my self esteem. I could not make a perfect card. The coloring was such an issue for me. Anyway,
