Father's Day gifts

Well, I'm a bit late in posting this, I will have to update it once I get all the information on what elements I used to create the page.

A friend at work asked me to create something for her husband for Father's Day. This is what I came up with and they both love it! I was quite happy with how it turned out, what do you think?

Having fun doing my CT work!

I only have one to post tonight, been working on it for 2 nights now and finally decided on this layout and just went with it. I was inspired by a layout I'd seen elsewhere and I wish I could remember to give the credit for the similar lift. But here is my idea using Candy's Treats Blooming Lovely kit!
Enjoy!

CT work as promised....

Ok here are my recent CT works....
Enjoy!


Is that a squirrel? Gabe had a blast on our family picture
day, just running everywhere and chasing birds as well as
being in total awe of the little squirrels.
A beautiful kit called Enchanted by Candy's Treats



Alone in my thoughts... A very fun kit to play with!
Another kit created by Candy's Treats called Dazzle

Apologies and an update

I know it's been awhile. Things have been busy around here with the girls getting ready to go to their dad's for summer.. well at least Kaly was. Amanda, my oldest, is driving her there and a week later, driving back. Rather, I should say, they left last Friday. It was hard on me, normally is. But it's always to worry about whether they will be ok on the trip. All the great IF's that we normally don't account for in ourselves when we make the trip.... we do when our kids venture on their own.

So I was a bit stressed and had lack of umph for creating. Sorry about that.
I will be posting some CTs which I still need to get submitted to my other galleries pronto. I will be focusing on that this week as this weekend just blurred by!

I just found out that the contest I entered for SAS Extreme Makeover... well my Baby's Feet actually made the final 10! No, I didn't win, but there were many, MANY beautiful layouts and I was excited to be considered. Thank you very much!!

On another note, my last post regarding a maturing event in my life... Well here's a bit more. I've met someone who's knocked my socks off and continues to knock me on my proverbial butt from time to time with his kindness and considerations. I could gush on about it all, but I'll spare you that. Needless to say, I'm very happy and would prefer my summer to continue a bit more slowly so that I can savor the time with him as I am able.

OK.. enough with that, I'll get some things posted here and soon, the galleries and I'll list them here so you can check them out as well.

Have a blessed night!

I had fun playing around with CandysTreats kit called Momsday.

Extreme Makeover Contest as SAS

I'm falling behind, I know, I know.... =)
There is a really good and very explainable reason, but right now, I'm not able to comment on it. Let's just say, it's still maturing.

OK.. I wanted to get my layout posted for my entry in the Extreme Makeover Contest over at Stone Accents Studio while I am still on my break. I know once I get home, it'll be go, go, go... until I fall into bed tonight!

My entry: Baby Feet (feet actually are courtesty of Morguefile.com)
Sorry mom, these aren't Gabe's feet, just a quick substitution


Used the Extreme Makeover Kit
From within-various elements/papers from the following:
Skrapper Digitals
Ambowife Designs
Moondesigns-overlays7 (it is subtle-but I wanted it recognized)
Piggyscraps

I was a bit frustrated on a few steps, but after a bit, it was simply a matter of placement. I loved doing the feet... can you see them? Lower corner of the page!!

I have some CT layouts I still need to post both here and at some forums tonight. I'm still waiting on a couple to get the approval to post my pictures, it is a bit slow and I am unsure why that is, but I have asked about it. I'm hoping there is an answer waiting for me once I get to it tonight!

Movie Night!

Well it doesn't happen very often, but it is very fun to get out now and then and just enjoy yourself and a movie.
Kaly and I were going to go see Ghosts of Girlfriend's Past and my older daughter showed up as we were leaving. So she jumped into the car, with a tish of banter from me to get her to come with us and off we went.

The movie is so cute! There is a lot of laughter in the movie and of course, I enjoy Matthew McConaughey's movies and Jennifer Garner was superb as always.

So tonight, I should work on some digital scrapping ideas that I have.... but I'm busy tonight. =)

I really need to get some cute/cool emoticons to plug in here... until then, you are stuck with my generic smilies and sighs.

Until I post again, God bless!
