Snow happens rarely in Southern Nevada and NEVER sticks. That makes this photo of my DD with snow in her hair pretty special. I used the new Nina Scraps/Ashalee Wall collaborative kit, Icing on the Cake, for this page. You can find it at O Scraps. I also used Sequin Spills by Rachel Young.

This is another of our fall color photos from Kolob Reservoir. Isn't this a gorgeous place? We love it. I used LaWanna Desjardin's newest kit, Bittersweet, for this page. I also used a sketchplate by Anita Stergiou, Blendplate #1. I used LaWanna's Sunwashed Alpha as a clipping mask for papers...

That had to be one amazing drive.......... Beautiful photos and a beautiful page. Marci

That's a great photo of Bernd, Nina. Beautiful page. Marci

Instead of having a birthday party this year, Will got to go to Disneyland. I asked him what was his favorite thing about Disneyland and this was it--the Jedi Academy. I used Kelly Shults' kit, Imagine, for this page. I loved doing the blending on this. I really liked that the photo included his...

Another photo from Kolob Reservoir, the only place halfway close where we can find fall color. We almost got stuck getting this photo, but the good part was we explored a part of the reservoir we'd never seen before. I used Amanda Rockwell's Giving Thanks for Fall kit for this page. The sequin...

When I took this photo a little over a year ago, it was way beyond my photo editing skills. I worked with it a bit today because I love sunsets and I like it. I used Lynn Grieveson's new kit Golden Bay for this. Golden Bay is available exclusively at Designer Digitals. The red ribbon is by...

Atticus has always had "happy feet", our name for the wild kicking he engages in when he sees something he likes coming his way. But lately, he's developed "hallelujah hands". He throws both hands in the air to celebrate something good. But, he wouldn't cooperate while...

I took this photo of Will and Grandpa while we were visiting Kolob Reservoir. I used Deb Fisher's Rainbow Papers, available at Pickleberry Pop. The swirl is by Tracy Ann Robinson.

I took this photo of a green field and a broken down old fence while we were visiting in Pine Valley, Utah a few weeks ago. It's what my husband calls "the obligatory perspective shot". I tried a photo action by Kim Hill that I received free a while back through the Scrapbook Elements...

This is one of our great "fall color" shots taken at Kolob Reservoir. I tried numerous backgrounds with this photo and didn't like any of them until I saw this layout by Chaos Lounge: http://www.thedigiboutique.com/studio/showphoto.php?photo=36913&limit=recent. I knew immediately...

LOVE the color combination and those great newsprint alphas! This is gorgeous and conveys such a sense of joy and energy! Marci

I left you praise on this at The Digi Shoppe, but I have to tell you again how much I love this! Prepare for a scraplift, girl. It's gorgeous! Marci

This is a bit of a landmark for me every time we drive up to Kolob Reservoir. I used Grungy Solids by Nina Scraps (at NDISB and O Scraps) for the background. The frame is from Nina's Frame Collection No 1, also available at NDISB and O Scraps. The alpha is by Peggy Brucher at ACOT, the Alphabet...

I'd scrapped this photo before, but when I saw this kit I knew I had to do a re-do. I used Lynn Grieveson's new kit, Bats and Potions, for this layout. You can find Bats and Potions at Designer Digitals.

We made a family trek to the local farm, a magical place of apple trees and pumpkins and the season's last zucchini, all set right in the middle of our ever-growing city. I plopped Atticus down in the middle of the growing things and placed a squash blossom on his head which was a real mystery...

One of Atticus's favorite things right now is bathtime. When left to his own devices, he'll crawl down the hall to the bathroom and I find him like this. It is a given that once I start undressing him, I just can't do it fast enough! I used Ella, one of the kits from the new collaboration, Girls...

Jennifer thought this "got milk" sign was so funny--particularly since she happened to be nursing Atticus at the moment. I used the new Amanda Rockwell-Gina Miller collaborative collection, Girls in Black. This is from the Stephie kit and the stamped alpha is by Jen Star. You can find...

My daughter and oldest DGS were away at college when he was this age. I am so enjoying watching every possible minute of this one growing up! He is sweet, good natured, curious, very very busy, has a mind of his own,and totally without fear. I can't imagine what happens next, when he graduates...

I have always been a history nut and, with continued exposure to me and the places I like to go, Joe is becoming one. So, we toured a few of the historical sites the last time we were in ST. George, Utah, including Brigham Young's winter home. I got some great interior shots too, so look out for...
