Layout #15 for Get Picky and some house pics

I've been wanting to scrap these photos for a while, but I guess I was just waiting to be inspired. Enter the sketch for Get Picky this month, another beautiful 2-page spread by Becky Fleck. I expanded the original to 12x12 and didn't crop my photos down as much, but otherwise I followed the sketch very closely. (Incidentally, I totally forgot to...

Layout #14 - Scrap-tures Spring Challenge

Just a quick post to show you this layout I completed, hopefully in time, for Scrap-tures blog challenge this week: Spring! These moose have been hanging around for a while now, and you can see in the photo of the baby that he's missing a patch of hair. Poor guy, not sure what happened to him. Anyway, it's not very often you can get close enough to...

That idea was way out there for me, and I almost didn't do it, but now I'm glad I did because I think...

When she got home from the party, I asked her what her little friend thought of her present (and card), and she said, "I don't know, we couldn't find it!" Hmph, all that work for nothing?Anyway, I used my fave Some Odd Girl image,...

2011 Layout Challenge #11

Whew, I think I'm gonna make it just in time for this Design Dollies Trifecta! Jason and Nolan are out of town for a couple of days, and my mom is here for a short visit, trading places. Anyway, when I showed her this layout, she said, "Oh, look, it's us four girls, just like right now!" Brenna was one month old in this pic. Hard to believe she was...
