Happy 30th to My Sister



My little sister turned 30 today. Since she lives far away & I can't take her photo, I scrapped a few pics of her over the years. For some reason, her 30th b-day makes me feel old...but mine did not. ;o)

Marco



I spent a fun day in the country with my friends Ashley & Stephanie. It's been about a year since the last time we stayed at Ashley's family house and I have to say that's WAY too long. I snapped this pic of Marco who is obsessed with playing fetch. He's not staring at my camera, he's staring at a stick hoping someone will pick it up and throw it for him. Beware, if you do cause he has tons of energy & never wants to stop. ;o)

MOD Thank You Cards

Well, I'm almost 5months into working for MOD and I still love it! Here's a TY card I made for the people who supported me (financially or by donating their time).



Most of the embellishment I made myself, or were from CU files - I wasn't planning to post, so i didn't keep track. Oops!

Good news - I'm almost finished with school. I have 10 weeks left in my current class and then 2 electives and I am finished. Thank goodness. Hopefully I'll have more free time to be "kreative" after this.


TTYS!

Support March for Babies and Win!

Working at March of Dimes for the past 3 months has been exciting and a lot of work! It has also helped me gain a strong understanding of how this organization truly helps all babies and their families. I am glad to be a part of March for Babies, and am asking you to please support my participation by making a donation.

This year, I understand it’s hard for many people to support charitable organizations at the same level as in the past – that’s why I am asking my friends and family to support me with a small donation of just $10. With your help, I will easily reach my goal of raising $1,000 to help save babies.


As a bonus, anyone who gives a minimum of $10 through my online fundraising site will be entered into a drawing to win 1 of these fabulous prizes:

1. $30 Visa Gift Card
2. A custom designed photo card package - see details below

Project 365, Week 4

Well, I am finally trying to get caught up on scrapping my project 365 photos. I'm still taking them everyday...just haven't been scrapping them like I wanted too. Perhaps when the March for Babies is over, I'll have more time for my hobbies. Here are the photos from Week 4!

Zoo Fun


Wow! My new job and school are really keeping me busy. I have been a horrible blogger. So sorry. I am still taking a new photo every day and hopefully I will get all caught up! In the mean time, here's a cute photo I took of a grizzly bear at the zoo this weekend. We are Zoo members and this weekend we went to the cock-a-doodle zoo breakfast and annual membership meeting. It was pretty early in the morning and feeding time, so I got some REALLY great shots of the lions and tigers and bears….and birds, and cheetahs, etc…I can't wait to scrap them and show you all.

Photo



It’s been a very busy week & I only have a few minutes for a quick post. I’m working on scrapping my photos for week 4 of my Project 365. In the mean time, I wanted to share this picture I took on Tuesday. It’s the Quarry Market here in SA and I took this snap shot from the window of a plane as we were landing…not bad considering how fast we were going!

Happy New Year Card


This year, there was SO much going on and I never found time to send Christmas cards...so, I decided to make a New Year's card instead.

Week 3



Here’s my lay out for Week 3! I scraped this page with the Harvest Spice kit by Shabby Princess. I lifted the template from this blog: http://fryskesdigiscraps.blogspot.com/ and modified it to fit my photos. Finding a way to put seven photos, journaling & embellishments on one page is quite a challenge…I may have to do more two page spreads for upcoming weeks!

Project 365, Week 2

Here are the Project 365 photos I took last week. It was a very busy week for me. I accepted a position with the March of Dimes to run the March for Babies in SA. We also had a few of our Nieces and on our Nephews in town for the weekend. We had a blast, but 3 kids are a lot of work!

To scrap this 2 page layout, I used a kit called Strawberry Delight by Annie Manning at http://www.paintthemoon.net/. I also used a Project 365 template created by Karen Maggie, Studio Crew Member for Scrapbookgraphics.

2008 Year in Review

I’m still working on scrapping my Project 365 photos from week 2 and plan to post them very soon. In the mean time, I finished my 2008 Year in Review page. I made a similar page for 2007 to document mine and SD’s first year being married and I hope to keep up this tradition for a long time.



I scrapped this LO with the sunshine wonder girl’s Sugared Fruit Topping kit available at http://www.sunshinestudioscraps.com/. I created the word art, stamp frame template and staples myself.

Fun Moments



Here are a few photos of the kids having fun at Olivia’s b-day party. Kristian, KK and Olivia are coming to town this weekend and we’ll be taking them to the zoo. I have a couple art projects planned and plenty of stuff to bake cookies – and if they get bored, they can always slide down the stairs on pillows like last time. I never lived in a house with stairs when I was a kid, so a makeshift pillow/stair slide was always one of my most favorite parts about visiting friends who did. I guess it’s a kid thing!

Project 365

There’s been a lot of buzz online about Project 365 so I’ve decided to participate this year. As part of this project, I’ll be taking one picture every single day – by then end of the year, my creative photography skills should be greatly enhanced. To take it a step further, I’m going to scrap each week’s photos and by the end of this year, I’ll have a magnificent record of each day of my life. It’s going to be exciting to look back and remember a little moment from each day. The past 2 years of my life have been pretty difficult, so it’s time for a turn around and I KNOW 2009 is going to be wonderful!



To scrap this layout, I used a kit called Spontaneous Delight by Carrie Stephens (http://www.carries.typepad.com/). How kismet - I decided to participate in this project the first time I read about it on this blog; it was a spontaneous decision that I am very delighted about. ;o)
