Catch of the Day

A couple of weeks ago we went to Sanpete and went fishing at one of our most favorite little ponds. Potters Pond. TJ was most excited as he had never caught a fish today and they were biting like crazy!! he was very excited to show off his Catch of The Day.

Hard to do...

These two layouts were some of the hardest ones I have ever done. In memory of my brother, Thad: This is a picture of my brother, Thad. I don't have very many photos of him especially in the last part of his life. I really love this photo though and cherish it. Thad chose to end his life after a battle with addiction and it has been one of the most difficult challenges of my life. 21 years later I still struggle with the many questions that are in my heart. Suicide is the hardest thing for a family to live through. I will always love my brother and remember him before the addiction started but I will never forget the hurt and pain that so many of us still deal with. I love you Thad.

This page is chaotic and emotional as it is that way in my heart and mind. I did two different pages to express the feelings that I feel due to his suicide. I miss him still and struggle with his decision even though it has been 21 years.

School Zone

Back to school means back to a routine. As much as we all enjoy the kids home and the freedom to do a few extra things with them, it's always nice to have a little organization to your day. This little kit will brighten up your ordinary school mug shot or even your creative shot. Snap the picture of them now and then again at the end of the year and see how much they've changed right before your eyes.

couple of layouts

Here are a couple of layouts that I did over the weekend: credits: My son, Josh, started on the freshman team this year for football. He is already doing a fantastic job this year. We are excited for every season and ready to have some fun again this year.

Life Moments

These two layouts that I am sharing tonight are from a new kit called Life Moments by Designs by Laura Burger. You can find them at Pickleberry Pop: This is Kassi enjoying a shaved ice after a river run at Yellowstone, It was a great little mini trip and we had lots of fun. I love this photo of her!! font used is racetrac While camping T.J. (my grandson that is 3) discovered that he had a freckle. He was so proud of it. He had to show everyone and even now shows me his freckle every once in a while. We of course had to take a picture of it! fonts used are wacky, ravie and kedzie

Creativity Takes Courage

T.J. taught Sierra how to play in the mud today. He painted her face and legs and arms. She was very proud of their creation!! Of course, I had to get pictures! Credits: Sept Collab Kit, Teachers Pet, GDS

Blended Templates and Paris Bistro

I did both of these layouts with the blended templates by Dana's Footprint Digital Designs at GDS and Paris Bistro by Pizzazz Pixels at HSD First is a layout called Oregon Falls: A photo of one of my most favorite things in the whole wide world..waterfalls.. aren't they truly amazing! I could search waterfalls around the world for my job if that was a possibility! This one is in Oregon. Next is a layout called Sierra: Sierra watching my son Josh playing football.. She was very intrigued!! but then, watching football is a very intense job!

Finding Treasures

T.J. absolutely loves the ocean we have discovered. He spent every minute he could discovering the treasures the sea brings to shore. He asked each day to play in the ocean while we were in Oregon.

Autumn

Turning Fall is amazing here in Utah. I love the color changes of the season. This was at a favorite place in the canyon that we go for picnics and camp fires. Beautiful place any time of the year. Credits: Autumn Harvest, Crescent Moon Designs:

Kassi's Dance Photo

This is Kassi in her dance outfit this last year. She will not be doing dance again as she has moved on to fast pitch softball and track.. wow... kind of weird to think there will not be any dance recitals or competitions anymore. I do love the new adventures she is embracing now though. font is frenchscript I used a photo effect in pse11 called old paper and changed it to black and white, I used the cookie cutter tool in my program to make the music notes. Credits: Soft Hearted, LouCee Creations

I love You

My oldest Daughter Savana and her daughter Sierra. This was just a random photo I took of her in the backyard playing with her kids. I used a photo effect called photo center fade to get the tone on the photo from PSE11. Font is Ad Executive Credits: Love Me, Inspired by Dominic Designs:

Fun, Fantastic and Fabulous

This is my 2 middle kids. They are 11 months apart. The older they get the more alike they look. Always have had a fun and energetic combination when they are around. They live to make everyone laugh! Credits: Love Me Bundle, Inspired by Dominic Designs:

Summertime with Sierra
