Happy Valentines Day!

Some cards I made for Jinamarie to give to her pals. Used mostly scraps from my stash. I have so much from swaps I do years ago, feels good to start using the bits and pieces. Just love the little owl stamp from the retired Rock the Block stamp set!

Jinamarie and her BFF's

I did this layout with the Roxie paper pack. I will have to get more of thses papers, it is Jina's favorite. She is crazy for the animal prints right now. Jinamarie picked the photos and did the journaling so this is really her page!

Jinamarie Age 9

This layout was created using an old kit from an out of business company. I am really trying to use up my older scrapbook stash and make room for new things. I am a very firm believer in lots of journaling to tell the story behind the pictures but while working with these photos of Jina from the fall of 2006, it sure seemed as though no words were needed. My beautiful daughter at age 9, just on the verge of becoming a tween!

Dotty Cards for Swap

Two cards made with the Dotty for You paper availble as a special during May only. The colors and patterns are so much fun to work with. My new favorite kit! These cards were for a swap I am in.

Nimitz 9th Grade Orientation

Our daughter is a freshman in High School, wow! I used the Elemental Paper kit again, this time the blue's. Where does the time go? Next will be dating, proms, parties. I am not ready for this...

Baby Girl get's her new forever home.

Here is Baby Girl's first page, our sweet little angel we adopted from The Houston SPCA last August during the Cool Cat Catstravaganza. All her fees were waived because they had many kitties and needed homes for them all. I used the Lucky Paper kit for this layout. I struggled with this one, the colors in this kit were a little hard for me, but it all came together nicely.

Jina and Minnie

Created using the Elemental Paper kit. I usually like to use a lot of photos, but I left a good portion of white space on this one for a nice change. I had to stop myself from trying to fill it all in! Loved these shots of Jina and Minnie. I am not sure why that cat puts up with her, Jina loves to pester her so much.
