I had fun tonight! Made this 2 page layout all about Vince and I playing "The Griswalds" driving sons truck from Frisco to Austin with Emma's big girl bed tyed to the back of the truck. We got a few funny looks...never a dull momment.

Tent Camping layout

This is a layout from a camping trip in September '07. I bought the "camping" laser cut at GASC and it was fun adding a little pen art to it. I really like the title being done with the die cuts. (something else new)
It was our first camping outing after having the motorhome for 6+ years, can you say "spoiled"? It was a bunch of hard work, but I am ready to go again, I will wait until the fall when it cools off a bit.

GASC - Score!!!

Sorry, the photos are in reverse order and I can not figure out how to fix it!





Well here it is...this was my favorite find at the Arlington GASC last week or so ago. Of course, it's all about my favorite subject, Emma, and her 2 best buddies. The photos don't do it justice it came out so cute and I can't wait to give it to Lana. It is superduper thick chipboard cut out with the letters BFF the vendor has a great website "creekbank creations". Check it out.

Baby Emma

Here is the "baby Emma" book that I made to help with the transition of the new baby brother, the hope is that if Emma is to see what a fuss we made over her as a baby she wont feel left out with J.T.?? Here's hoping anyway!
Thanks for stopping by,

It sure feels good!

This is some of the "backlog" of layouts that accumlated during the "Wedding Album" creation. It feels good to be putting this down in paper form and getting those ideas out of my head!!! These are pics from my Mom & Al visiting Austin when Emma was a newbie. Plus their road trip to San Marcos.

Lana (dd) and her girlfriend Christie came to N. Tx and we three (wise or not!) did Canton, Tx. Part junk yard, part craft fair, mostly just stuff...but it was a ton o' fun!! I felt like a "real" Texan having experienced Canton.
Thanks for visiting.


p.s. LOVE T!m's new mini-mask!!! Check them out they are Wonderful & Easy and leave a great effect.

The Wedding Book - Done!!

Okay, Here it is!! This is the finished scrapbook from our daughters beautiful wedding. It was a destination wedding on the Royal Caribbean Cruise, Rhapsody of the Sea. This is a small sampling of the 94 page book. It took 3 years to complete and I am very proud of the way it turned out. The thing that I notice the most is how much I have learned and how much my style has changed in the evolution of this creation.
Because of the fact that there was a large group of people on a 7 day cruise vacation that also included a wedding, personal shower, bachelorette party, bachelor party, reception, 3 destinations, plus the traditional wedding showers, invitations, dress hunting, etc... it was out of control before it ever began! I however, enjoyed the journey, although I will share that I did more than my fair share of complaining about it during the process.
Every time I look thru this book it is a joy to relive this trip, and the time with the people that we were so fortunate to share it with.
Thanks for taking the time to stop in.
