Jared’s Birth Story (page 9)
Journaling:
I was more awake on
Sunday, and I felt
really good. I was
able to get out of bed, but I wasn’t able to
shower, which
didn’t
impress me too much…
But at at least I got
to hold you in my
arms! That’s what we
spent the morning
doing… Daddy and I
would take turns
holding you… It was
such a wonderful,
quiet morning… our
first [...]

With temps over 100, we took
the kids back to the splash

Anyway, the [...]

Feyrer Park Layouts

“Walk Through” Layouts

The Walk Through (page 1)
Journaling:
We had our “walk through” for the new house today. It
went very well!!!  We were supposed to meet the guy at 4:30,
but we got there early, and he was there already too. So 
we went into the house, and we went over the owner’s guide
thing, and signed a bunch of papers. (I [...]

Build-a-Bear Layouts

Yes, I am still dealing with scrapper’s block… Every one of these layouts was made using templates (except #7, which is a quickpage). *lol* … But no worries, I’ll be doing some of my own soon… I just wanted to use these new templates I bought.
For those of you who aren’t scrappers (or who [...]

Scrapper’s Block

I seem to be going through some kind of scrapper’s block. *sigh*
I open up my photoshop elements, bring in the pictures I want to scrap, pick the kit I want to use… And then I just stare at the screen. I am having a hard time coming up with original ideas for layout designs. *sigh* [...]

Layouts for Amanda’s 3rd Birthday

Yes… These layouts are from Amanda’s 3rd birthday… From almost 2 years ago! (Have I mentioned that I am *really* behind on my albums. *lol*) … I already had pages 3 - 9 done (quite a while ago actually), so that is why there are pages missing.

Journaling:
When we
went to Wal*Mart for ice the next day, we went
ahead and got three more kites, so that they could all fly them and not be
at odds over who’s turn it was. Alicia kept the one from the day before
(because she liked the colors), Josh got one with two tails, [...]

Splash Park Layouts

I finally got some scrapbooking done! I haven’t been able to scrap for a couple 2-3 weeks, so it was nice playing in photoshop elements again.
I did the first two layouts in this set last summer, which is when these pictures are from (June 19, 07)… I am so behind! *lol*

Little Man, Big MessJournaling:No Jared, you didn’t make this mess all by yourself. This was after your
birthday party, when your cousins and friends were over… They sure
thrashed your room, didn’t they? *grins* … But not to worry,
Mommy and Daddy didn’t make you clean it all by
yourself! We went in and helped you, and
you were so [...]

Finishing up the Kids’ Heritage Album

I haven’t worked on the kids’ heritage album since February, so I decided that it was time to pull it back out again. I only had around 8 more layouts to do to finish it, and I really wanted it done… So here are the final layouts.
Edit:
Well, turns out this ISN’T the last 8 layouts… [...]

For Jared’s Album

Sarah Meyer, one of the designers that I do layouts for, has these new text paths for photoshop elements, and they are way cool!!!… She has the numbers 0 thru 9 in the kit, and it lets you journal into the shape of a number. They are SO EASY to use! I plan on doing [...]

Tidbit #1 :: Cuddles’ 4th Birthday

Today is the cat’s birthday, and she is now 4 years old… Which thrills Amanda to no end, because from now until August, she and Cuddles are the same age.
