The First Fishing Pole

This is Stacey's Scraps newest kit, "Not Too Shabby". I was on vacation and missed this beautiful kit and she is such a sweetie and now I have made the very cute page of my little boy play fishing on our vacation to California in '07. He loved his Scooby Doo fishing pole and fished everywhere; parking lots, fields, backyards and anywhere else he could practice his casting. We did have to draw the line on occasion even though it's a little plastic fish on the end. Go Here to see all the other CT's layouts and Here to buy this beautiful and versatile kit.

Fathers Day Kit

This was our nature walk at Rancho San Rafael Park in May. Loved this photo on this layout.

Ruby Slippers - Believe (1st Anniversary)

It will be one year on June 24th 2008 since I started doing digital scrap booking. I thought I would share my first two pages I made. I was hooked right from the start. As you can see I didn't know about shadows, erasing parts of element or how to do layers. I would delete a section until I got it in the right order. I've come a long way baby. LOL! I've learned so much about the computer and Internet but am learning something new everyday.

One of the girls, Kristie, in my on-line traditional scrap club sent out a link to a blog train and I jumped on board.

This was a blog train through DSO - Digi Scrap Addicts - Scrap Journal, A compilation of all the designers involved.

We all start somewhere. Laramie

Our Field Trip to the Farm and Hoot

Our outing with the Play Group to a Farm in Fallon, Nevada for some veggie & berry picking. We also saw some farm animals and went through the corn maze.

Our sleeping son. No matter how old they get they are still sweet when they sleep.

I forgot to post this cute kit last week. Stacey forgot to post our layouts. Hee! Hee! So I don't feel to bad but she had a much better excuse besides old age. LOL.

Movie Night

We had a great date and my nephew stayed with the kids. As we left we said to each other that you know a toy bomb is going to go off as soon as we leave. Upon our return sure enough toys, toys everywhere. LOL. It was worth it. We had a nice time and then this evening another thunder storm. I'm loving the rain. It happens so rarely here.

Nap Time and Sweet Dreams

The only way to get you down for a nap is to nurse you but you fight those naps so much. You look so sweet with your bunny and so in need of some rest.

You will always be my baby boy and look so sweet sleeping even at five years old.

We do lots of picnic's at the park and took our new doggy Solie "Solomon" with us. He tried to get into the kid's food if they held it down low. Ha! It was finally getting warm and we were itching to get out side. Spring of 09.

Mini Golf in the Dark

This was the end of a very long day but a fun one. Both the kid's were old enough that they weren't napping any more and we stayed all day. We ended with another game of mini golf and they were so tired they could hardly finish. I was surprised when they wanted to play again after the sprint cars and thought for sure they would fall asleep on the way home. But they had to much fun talking about all the fun they had had that day.

Used this wonderful kit before from Studio Ziska - Scrapbook Graphics - Ocean Cloud, Font - Gigi.

All You Need is Love

It was so cold but you wanted to try to fly your kite. You would just get it up and the wind would whip or slow and the kite would come crashing down. You were having so much fun but Mommy finally had to say it's to cold and we walked back home. Had fun playing with the frames in PSE and got some neat effects on this picture.
