Wow, lots has been happening with my Creative Teams!  I have been a CT member at Scrapable.com for quite some time, but they have decided to "go exclusive" with their designers and their CT members!  I wish them all the luck in the world with their decision, of course, but I'm going to miss the team!  I had other obligations to other designers that I felt was important to fulfill, so with a heavy heart, I left the team. 
The good news is, several new designers have joined the team there, and two of them have picked me up for their personal teams--plus I'll stay on with Modern June too.  I've been an "on call" person for Alison, designer of Milly Dee Designs for some time now, so it was good to join her team full time, and another designer, Sara Brooks--designer of Pardon the Mess also added to her creative team and picked up a few of the former Scrapable CT members, so I'll be helping her out too!
I've already started with both designers, and have a few layouts from Pardon the Mess to share today!  Those of you who know me, know that PARDON THE MESS is just a team I SHOULD be on just because of it's name!!  Sarah is a talented designer, and her kits are chock full of fun and imagination.  I also love her use of color!
I did two layouts with the kit called Sticks and Stones.  It is a fun kit, with cute dinosaur embellishments.  I really wanted to use them, so I had to put my thinking cap on!!  Brian had just taken Micah to the Bronco Stadium in Denver for the Kids Day festivities, and he sent me some of the photos.  They were in the right color scheme, so I used those!  First off, here's the kit:

And here are the two layouts I did with it!

Aren't those Dinosaurs just the cutest?   I was so happy to get these photos from Brian!  I love seeing the kids activities!  Living so far away from them we don't get to take part in a lot of their lives, but photos make that distance much easier to live with!!  Thank you Brian!!

The other kit I used from Pardon the Mess is called Dixieland Delight.  It was fun to use, as we have three Family July birthday's coming up!!  Megan's birthday is on the 4th, and Hannah's is on the 5th!
Scott's birthday is also in July, but I only used the girls in this layout!  (sorry Scott!).  Maybe if Scott is good he'll get a layout this year too.  (just kidding about the "being good" part!  Scott is a great guy!)

Here is the layout and a preview of the cute kit:

 Next week I'll be participating in another blog hop, so I hope you'll stop by again!  Be sure to enjoy the beautiful days that God gives to you!!  Have a blessed day today, and thanks for coming by!

I'm taking part in another blog hop today!  I hope you all have a good time picking up goodies!  There are some fun things for sure.  Also, Marie H is releasing a great new template pack today at Scrappity Doo Dah!

It's a grab bag, but you can see all the parts, and they are just wonderful. (see them all here:

I made a Quickpage for you from Marie H's cute kit Little Man's world.  The quickpage was made from this layout that I made for my son's recent birthday.  This photo was taken many years ago--I wanted to remind him that he had been a little one at one time!  :) 

Here is a photo of the cute kit!

Have fun!  Come back again soon.  God Bless You!

Hello again!  The weather has been so nice and cool here in the desert, that we've been outside a bit enjoying it before our summer heat sets in!!  Our yard is beautiful this time of the year--the poppies are still blooming out there, and we have some snap dragons also!  My husband gave me a new plant this year--a climbing plant for a big outside bird cage we picked up on one of our trips to San Diego!  The plant Thunbergia, and I think I'm going to love it!!  It has yellow flowers with a black middle.  It's quite attractive, and should fill that bird cage nicely when it gets going!
I've also been keeping up with my scrapbook creative teams.  I love scrapping!  I scrap in the evenings when we are watching TV.  I almost can't sit still to just watch tv without something else to do, so the scrapping is a nice filler!! 
This week I made a layout about my daughter Becky.  She's such a good mom.  She started out reading to the kids when they were very tiny and now they are all very good readers!!  That extra time spent together cuddling in a chair with an opened book has really paid off!!  And of course being the recipient of all those cuddles was fun too!
So here is a layout with a photo from a few years ago.  I used a kit called Mommy Dearest from Aprilisa which can be found at Digital Scrap Cafe.  I'm sure I used a template too, but forgot to write that down!  (sorry!)

 Thanks for stopping by today!  I hope you stop by again soon.  May God Bless you and your family.

I'm participating in a blog train today!  It is with one my Creative teams, Luv Ewe (isn't that just the cutest name ever?) She has her store at Funkyplayground, and has some amazing kits!!  Her newest kit is Endless Love, which is the kit we've all used for our fun brag book pages that we are giving you today.

Here is a preview of the kit to begin with, and a preview of all the things you can get if you hit all the participating blogs.

I'm the end of the train!  You should have come from Keesha's blog!  Here is where you can download  my FREEBIE: http://www.4shared.com/photo/x0w8GWF...book_page.html

If you missed any of the pieces, you can find the full list at http://luvewedesigns.com/
Have fun!!  May God Bless you!


Hope you have a great day!

Hi again!  I have a few things to share with you today.  I've been busy again creating some layouts for my family.  I've really enjoyed working with some of the older family photos this past month too.  That is something I've wanted to do for quite some time!  One of the layouts I did with the older photos is this one: 

These photos are back form 1952. The first photo is my husband and his little brother Jim, and the other photo is of his older brother Lewis.  It's so fun to use all the photos from when they the boys were small. 

For the next layout I used the cute Little Circus kit from Snap Wings found here: http://digitalscrapcafe.com/cafe/product.php?productid=19006&cat=0&page=1  and a JB STUDIO template.  This is for the Random Challenge that starts May 21st!  I hope you join me.  You can find it here:  http://digitalscrapcafe.com/forum/showthread.php?p=24462#post24462

Thanks so much for stopping by!  I love visitors.  I'm going to be participating in a blog hop this weekend, so come on back and visit!  Bless you!

I had another busy week.  National Scrapbook Day was great!  Had so much fun going from forum to forum and collecting a lot of goodies!  Thanks to all the designers that so unselfishly provided so much enjoyment to all of us!!  I appreciate you all!
I'm hosting the Random Challenge at Digitalscrapcafe this coming week.  I used such a great kit--a collab from the designers there!  It was called Joy in the Garden (linked to store) 
I think I'm a collab girl!  I enjoy working with them every time.  They are filled up with such great embellishments, and so much fun to play with!  Anyhow, I did this layout about the California poppies that are in my back yard.  They cover the desert floor in the spring, and are just so beautiful!!

 You can check out the challenge here:  random challenge.

Thanks so much for stopping by!  I hope you come and try the challenge.  God bless you!

Here Amy and Scott go again!  They are packing up for the 7th time in the 9 years of their marriage!  This time they are moving to the suburbs of Kansas City, Kansas.  Scott's new job will be as one of the three pastors at an up and coming church in Olathe, Kansas.  Amy is busily packing the boxes, but she's going to have to watch out, because Jacob likes to crawl IN the box and play with the things Amy is trying to pack!  Silly Jacob. 
The first layout I have to share today is a layout of Jonah out on a hike with his daddy!  I used Day at the Zoo kit from Dutsji Designs for this layout.  You can find the kit here: Digital Scrap Cafe.

 The next layout I have to share today is also of the Bird Boys!  This time, it is ALL the Bird Boys.  In Tennessee by where they live, there is a lake that has started flooding.  They visited lately, and of course, a lake is just what the boys needed as an excuse to get wet!  The funny part is, DADDY got in there with them!  Looks like they had a great time together.  Making memories.
I used Aprilisa's kit Dad's the Man for this layout of my grandsons and their daddy standing in the overflow at the lake in Tennessee.  You can also find this kit at Digital Scrap Cafe.

Thanks so much for stopping by!  I hope you stop by again soon.  God Bless you.

Here I am!  Ready to blog.  I've been pretty busy, and I love it!  It's been keeping my mind off my daughters family that lives in Tennessee.  They've had some pretty bad weather there over the past week or so, and I'm trying not to worry!  I know God is in control, I just like to hear that my kids and grandchildren are safe.  Praise be to God, they ARE safe! 

I have a few layouts to share this evening.  The first one is a remembrance of my maternal grandmother--Grandma Pettibone.  She died when I was about 10 years old, but I still remember all the fun I had with her.  She taught me how to play poker when I was 3 or 4 years old.  She thought she was teaching me rummy!  My mother about had a heart attack when she saw her little kid playing poker with her mom! 
The first place I remember my grandmother living was in a fancy house.  I didn't realize she lived in "the maids quarters."  She wasn't the maid--she just rented the little efficiency apartment from the owners of the house!  I think she was the happiest when she lived there.  Anyhow, here is my layout--it talks about picking strawberries with Grandma.

I used a great kit from Snap Wings called Angels Around.  You can find it here:  http://digitalscrapcafe.com/cafe/product.php?productid=18961&amp;cat=0&amp;page=1.

Another layout I'd like to share is of my little grandson.  He's such a cutie, and growing so big!!  He's five now ya know!  :)  I used a kit called Funshine from Spinky Dink designs found here:  http://www.polkadotplum.com/shoppe/product.php?productid=19087&cat=0&page=1

Isn't he just the cutest?  I'm hoping that someday, long after I'm in Jesus' arms, that this little guy, and the rest of my grandchildren will have fond memories of me like I do of my grandmother.  It's harder these days to have these close relationships, as families are spread around the country!  My grandma lived a bit closer to us!  I am thankful for that wonderful relationship I had with my grandma.

Thanks so much for stopping by.  I hope you'll stop by again sometime soon!  May God Bless you!

It is SPRINGTIME in the desert!  The flowers blooming, and we've had some glorious days.  I'm trying to spend some time outside each day because the day will come very soon when it will be too hot to be outside!!  We'll turn on the cooler, and pretty much hibernate until fall comes!  Our outings will be in the early morning before it gets hot, or way after the sun goes down, after it cools down a bit!  The summer winds will blow and everybody will complain about the heat and the wind, but I've come to enjoy the wind.  I always tell my friend that the wind is our friend!  Without the wind, the heat would be unbearable at times!!
Easter is this Sunday.  Our church is having a church-wide breakfast before service on Sunday.  Earl has been practicing the music for a month or so!  I wish you all a great Resurrection Day.  Praise the Lord for all He has done for us.
I have a few layouts to share today while I'm here.  The first is  Cheesy smile!  The photo is of my sweet grandson Noah.  This is his Picture Smile.  I'm not sure who ever made up picture smiles, but
his is pretty cheesy!!  I used a kit called Happy Easter by Algena that you can find at Scrappity Doo Dah! 

The next layout is of another grandson named Jonah!  His mom started preschool at home with him last September, and he's learned so much!  He really enjoys the messy part--just like a boy huh?  This photo was taken the first week of school when they were studying the letter "A" and he was using his hand to paint an apple tree.  This A week was full of ADVENTURES.  They ATE APPLES, made APPLE sauce, and had lots of fun!!  They even watched the movie Johnny APPLESEED!  Jonah has made AMAZING progress since September, and he eagerly awaits each weeks additions!

I used Polkadot Pixels kit Penmanship and her Grungy Grocery Bag kits that you can find at twopeasinabucket.com!  And another kit you can find at 2 peas is Lil' Moa's Diary by Edeline Marta, and that is the kit I used for this layout of still ANOTHER grandson, Micah when he was a few years younger than he is now!

I love the new collab by Marshmella Designs and HK Designs called Hello Sunshine!  It's a wonderful kit, and I'm sure I'll use it over and over again.  Although you can buy the kit separate from the bundle, the bundle gives you everything including the templates!  It's great!  And the colors are so sweet.  You can find this at Godigitalscrapbooking.com and at Gingerscraps.net.  This is my daughter and her three little guys! 

 The last layout for today is of my middle daughter's family.  She has two daughters and a son.  The name of this layout is Then There Was Three.  I used the great kit Deep Love the bundle by Snap Wings found at Digital Scrap Cafe.   I looked for photos that were of the children at about the same age.  I made a template for this layout, and it is featured for the Template Challenge at Digital Scrap Cafe starting on April 22!  Don't forget to stop by and participate.  You can earn a participation  coupon to the store!!

Thanks for stopping by today.  Be sure to worship your Lord this weekend!  It will enhance your life.  Stop in again real soon!  May God Bless YOU and yours!

Again, I'm in a hurry.  One day I'll have time to share ALL my layouts!  It would take "awhile" to get them here I'm afraid!  I used to be a little more diligent to get them here--

The first layout I have to share today is one of Sarah when she was just a tiny baby!  Now she's a big 4 year old, and oh so cute!!  She is such a sweet little girl--and full of spunk and smiles!  What a joy she is.  I used the kit My Little World by Keley Designs found here:   http://digitalscrapcafe.com/cafe/product.php?productid=18890&cat=249&page=1.

The next one is kind of sad for me.  The photos were taken last year when the little Birds were still in California.  Now they are living in Tennessee, and within the next month or so, will be relocating to Kansas City!  At least they are a little closer to California I guess!  It's still close to 2000 miles "as the bird flies."  haha!  Couldn't resist!  We're praying for a safe trip and move for them!--but LAST year they were for the blooming poppies in the desert!  Tomorrow is the Poppy Festival--I miss my little Birds! I used the April Grab bag by Dutsji Designs found here:  http://digitalscrapcafe.com/cafe/product.php?productid=18951 for this Spring layout.

Thanks so much for stopping by!!  May God be with you all!  Stop in again real soon.

It's been awhile!  :)  But I've been pretty busy! 

When we retired, I had no idea how busy retired life could be--and it's not doing something all the time, it's just living day to day.  The regular activities (cleaning house, doing laundry, fixing meals) take a lot of time!  And my house isn't spotless to say the least!!  I just don't know how in the world we ever found time to have a job--either one of us!! 
Yesterday my husband was outside painting the patio cover before 8 am!!  And that was after we got home from walking the dog.  Poor dog would go bananas if we did something BEFORE her walk!  She is such a creature of habit.  She is such a blessing in our lives though, not sure what we'd do without her!
Anyhow, after he was finished painting, he mowed the lawn, moved mulch from one side of the yard to the other, fixed sprinklers, and by then it was 4 pm!!  I was really proud of him though, last time he worked outside all day, he came in at about 6 pm and was so exhausted I had to hand feed him.  He doesn't know when to quit.  So, yesterday I told him he had to stop by 4 pm, which would give him enough time to get cleaned up before dinner.  I was totally surprised, though when he minded and came in at 4:15.  He felt much better last night than he had the last time!!  It was hot outside--it was our first day over 90 this year.  Summer is really creeping up on us.

I've been busy with my CT work.  This week has been especially busy for some reason!  I'm totally enjoying it, and am getting a lot of scrapping done.  I have a few to share today--
I loved the Pandemic kit by Dream Big Designs so much that I did another layout with it.  It's called Baby Noah.  He was such a cutie!!  This kit was perfect for it.  You can find it here:  http://digitalscrapcafe.com/cafe/product.php?productid=18580&cat=0&page=2

Another layout I wanted to share with you today is Mommy's Kisses.  It is a few photos of Noah when he tripped over his own feet and hit his head on the sidewalk.  Poor Noah!!  Sometimes his head is just too heavy.  I used a kit from Pixelily Designs called Love Blooms that you can find here:  http://digitalscrapcafe.com/cafe/product.php?productid=18899&cat=0&page=1
and here is the layout. 

That is all I have time to share today.  Thanks so much for stopping by--May God bless you and your family!

Hi!  I've been on a roll this week!  I really love scrapping when it just falls together so easily!  Of course, having such wonderful designers to work with really helps the creative juices flow!  I have a few to share--some can't be posted yet because the kits haven't been released! 

Here is a layout  that I used the great kit PANDEMIC by Dream Big Designs and Pixelily Designs found here:   http://digitalscrapcafe.com/cafe/product.php?productid=18580&cat=0&page=2
These boys really love each other---and now there are three in the mix!  There were three when this photo was taken, but the photo only had the two boys.  Jacob was too small for the bear hug!!  I hear he's the biggest bear huger now though!!  Sounds like Amy is earning her keep trying to keep up with him!

I made a template for this layout for the template challenge that you can find here as a freebie:  template challenge.  Come on over and join the fun!  We'd love to have you!
Thanks for stopping by!!  Have a good day, and may God Bless you!

Hi!  I've been feeling so bad with my allergies. It's going to be a long spring as the lilacs haven't even budded yet.  The good part of allergies, though, is time INSIDE to scrapbook! I can't seem to go outside much at all as the allergies really get me down. Thankfully, the allergies seem to be letting up a bit!
So, two of the layouts I've gotten done this week are Disney layouts of one of the Birds trips!  They had a year pass there, and I have a lot of photos, but haven't done many layouts!  Poor Noah was still a little shy when it came to meeting the characters, but Jonah was a bit braver.  Jonah especially loved the princesses, as you'll see in the first layout!  :)  By the time they met the super heros, Noah was feeling a little braver.  Here are my two layouts!

 I used the fun kit Frou Frou Fairy by Caged Bird Designs for the first layout which is  my grandsons meeting the Disneyland princesses.  Aren't the boys just adorable?  Look at the cute expression on Jonah's face.  He looks like the Bird that ate the canary!  He's holding hands with the beautiful princess and he can hardly believe it!!  You can find this sweet kit I used for this layout here: Frou Frou Fairy

The second layout demanded a bit more color and boldness, so I chose a kit called World Of Magic by Catia Cunha that you can find here:  World of Magic.  I hope to get to some more Disney layouts soon!  These were fun to make.
Thanks so much for stopping by--May God bless you!

Hi!  Happy Sunday!  I'm suffering with Spring allergies--but since I can't go outside, I've been busy scrapping.  I'm always on the lookout for great beach or water related kits to work with.  I recently found a really fun one!  It was designed by Dream Big Designs, and the name of it is Submerged!  It was just perfect for me to use on some of my San Diego photos, and can't wait to use it for some Sea World photos too.  We always have beach photos to use, so this one was a lot of fun.
Here is the layout I did with it:

It has a white background, so you can't see the edges well!  :)  You can find this fun kit here:
Submerged.  Thanks for stopping by today--and if you are suffering from the same spring allergies as I am, I'll pray for you!  Just think--summer will be here before we know it.  God is so faithful!!  He has the seasons under His control.  We remain in His capable hands!

Today is Wednesday!  Half the week is gone already.  I'm coming down with a cold--or a sinus infection--or an allergy attack!  Whatever it is, I'm NOT feeling well for sure!  Earl is working on a computer program to figure out how to play trains with grandchildren in Tennessee while we live in California.  He's a genius, so I'm sure he'll think of something!  :)  We miss our little guys--and grandpa misses playing trains with them. 
I have a few layouts to share with you to day.  I made a layout of Amy and Becky.  The photo was taken in June when Amy and Scott were going through Denver on their way to their new home in Tennessee.  The girls (sisters) had lots of fun together, and I'm sure they enjoyed seeing all the kids playing together.  Being a mom, I love that my girls can get together once in awhile.  I wish it was more often--I'm sure they both miss that closeness they once had.  Anyhow, here is the layout.  I used a kit called I Am Woman by Mandy King and Marie H, and you can find it at Scrappity-doo-dah! 

Almost all the other layouts I've done since my last post, I can't post yet--but there is one more I can post!  It's about my granddaughters in San Diego. The kit I used was called Any Other Place in the Sun from Dani Salles that you can find at at DigitalScrapCafe.  The name of the layout is It's NOT Hawaii--and chronicles our trip to the beach when we visited San Diego!  These girls love to visit the beach!

Thanks so much for stopping by!!  Come back soon.  May God Bless you!

Hello Blog!  How are ya doing?  Anything happening here??
I've got a few layouts to share this evening!  
The first one is one I made with a kit from Modern June called Vintage Flea.  When she posted the sneak peek we (the creative team) wasn't sure if it was going to be a vintage kit, or a circus kit, or a bug kit!  But it's a GREAT kit!  I love it.  I made this layout of me when I was a little girl (Kindergarten photo).  My mom had given me my first permanent.  She loved it and told me how beautiful I was, but LOOK AT THAT PHOTO!!  I think she was lying to me so I wouldn't get mad at her for giving me the permanent!!  My sister laughed and laughed.  She didn't "need" permanents because she had the natural wave in her hair!  She still has that wave.  Anyhow, you can find the kit exclusively at Scrapable.co

 The next layout I have to share was made with another kit at Scrapable!  It is from the March Build a kit--another winner in my eyes!!  It's called Off the Beaten Path--and you can get it for free with a 10.00 purchase!  You won't be sorry!  It's fun!  This layout is of Noah and Jonah, and how Jonah helps her little brother out!  :) 

I used a kit from Aprilisa and also a template from her!  The kit is called Colors of Love and the template pack is called Picture Perfect #3.  The layout is about my granddaughers that live in the San Diego area!  They LOVE to visit the beach!  --no matter what or when.

and here is another layout---I used a great set of kits from Simply you simply me (the elements, the papers and the word art are all separate kits but called xoxo.  I love the cute elements in this kit!  I also used a template from Connie Prince.  Love her templates too!

 My last layout share for tonight is from a kit from Double Dutch Designs called Circle Crazy and a template from ME!  :)   This is Noah again--He's such a sweetie!

Thanks so much for stopping by!  Keep a song in your heart and a prayer on your lips!  See ya next time!

Today is the 10th anniversary of  Dale Earnhardt's death at the Daytona 500.  His son is driving in today's race.  I pray for a safe race for all of the racers today!  Let the season begin. I'm multi-tasking--watching the race and digi scrapping at the same time.  Such fun!
So far, I only finished one layout--but I love it.
I loved this Cute Safari Collection by Elker W.  It was perfect for my photo of my little grandson when we took him to the zoo a few years ago.  He was so eager to see the animals, and he KNEW he was safe while he was holding his grandpa's hand.  What a testament to trust in his grandpa!  What a sweet boy he was (and still is!)  Now he's a BIG boy though! 
You can find this great kit here:  http://digitalscrapcafe.com/cafe/product.php?productid=18574&cat=0&page=1
I also used a template called SCD Boys Blush.
Here is the layout!

Well, back to scrapping!  Have a great Sunday afternoon.  (We tivoed the race so we could watch it after church!)  God Bless you all, and thank you all for stopping by!!

 Again I find my blog sadly neglected!  Poor thing!  I've been busy creating and having fun with some fabulous kits!  The designers I help our are just too good!  I only have one layout to share tonight!  Tomorrow is release day, so I might be back then.
For this layout, I used Tranquil Moments by Milly Dee for this layout.
You can find the kit here:  http://digitalscrapcafe.com/cafe/product.php?productid=18785&cat=0&page=1 and I also used the template for the template challenge at DigitalScrapCafe.  You can find the template challenge here:  http://digitalscrapcafe.com/forum/showthread.php?t=2508.  I hope you'll think about joining the challenge!

This is our Noah.  Such a sweet little boy! 
Thanks for stopping by.  Come back again soon!

I have two layouts to share.  They are the same people--many years apart!  :)  Besides years between the photos, there are many many memories we've shared.  In the older layout, they were just two kids in love.  In the second layout, they are seasoned parents and had even ventured into the world of grandparent-hood.  It's been a great journey. 

In the first layout, I used Aimee Harrison's new Kit Love Letters found here:  http://scrapable.co/store/Love-Letters-Scrap-Kit.html and her template package here: http://scrapable.co/store/Love-Letters-Template-
For the second layout I used Pixelily designs Glorious Sentiments kit and template pack for this layout.  You can find them here:  http://digitalscrapcafe.com/cafe/product.php?productid=18737&cat=0&page=1 and here:  http://digitalscrapcafe.com/cafe/product.php?productid=18740&cat=0&page=1

Thanks so much for stopping by today!  Please come back again!  God Bless you.
