Okay, excuse me. I may be a grandmother, but I'm not dead. And I can recognize a great storage solution when I see one. I have learned to LOVE going to my grandson's ball games! The black paper is from Amanda Rockwell's The Basics--Black. Stars are from Starlight, Starbright by Amanda. Felt...

I took this photo on the grounds of Mission San Diego de Alcala. I loved the play of different textures and colors in the photo. I used Chocolate Blush, a new kit by Amanda Rockwell, one of many she will be releasing for NSD at amandarockwell.com. The tag is by Marsha Zepeda and the brad is by...

This is such a special photo, I had to keep the layout very simple. Photo by our friend John, while hiking in Bryce Canyon--just look at the way he captured the light! I could give him lessons on indoor photography, but his outdoor stuff is super! I used Spring Attire by Victoria Feemster for...

This is one of the gorgeous displays at the Conservatory at the Bellagio. I used Mary Fran's Slice of Summer kit for the layout. The bottom border idea is scraplifted from a layout done by disneyaddict and featured on the Scrapbookgraphics blog. I grabbed this photo just before my old camera...

DH took this and in the process messed with something in the camera. The photo came out VERY blue. I managed to get it somewhat straightened out and decided this would work since it was taken at twilight. I used Robin Carlton and Christy Lyle's kit, ABC Baby for this. The swirls are by Anna...

Another photo taken by our friend, John. My daughter is SUCH a good mama......... The cardboard hearts are by Amanda Rockwell, her Color My Heart and Sparkle Love element collections, available at amandarockwell.com.

Jen had to supply a headshot to the University for their website so Mom got called for a photoshoot. We took a good 40 photos, most of which were really pretty good (I LOVE my new camera!). I used Nina's new kit, Prime of Life, for this page as well as her Unique 3 template which already has the...

As we approached the entrance to the Olivos Adobe last fall, it was apparent we were entering another world. Not only were we stepping back in time because this home was built 150 years ago, but there was a fiesta-like atmosphere for a wedding with guests in full traditionalMexican garb. Loved...

A photo of my DD at age 3.5 having her first experience trying to hit a ball with a bat. I used Amanda Rockwell's NEW KIT, Little Miss, for this. Little Miss is available at Amanda Rockwell.com and is on sale for 35% off. The filmstrip is from her Funkytown kit. The gingham bow is by Ronna Penner.

I had this item by Anna Aspnes in my stash but had totally forgotten about it 'til I saw Mamacrina use it on her layout. (You can see her layout, Beautiful Soul, here: http://www.digishoptalk.com/gallery/...;ppuser= 1325 Anyway, when I sat down to scrap these pictures, I couldn't get that...

Photo taken by a family friend, John, on a hike in the Bryce Canyon area. Given the play of light and the variation from red rock to white, this is a gorgeous color photo. But, I couldn't help but think Ansel Adams would have been proud to have taken this one, once I converted it to Black and...

When we were in CA in September, we stopped by DH's old office to meet with some of their staff. Debbie is just so gorgeous and I loved having a photo taken with her. I used Sunday Brunch from Bella Gypsy Designs (Tabatha Reed) for this page. This kit is available at Tabatha's SBB store. I did...

I took this photo of Will Friday afternoon. I had brought along the sunglasses as a prop after paying 3.99 for them. They were well worth the money. I was playing with filters when I saw this on the screen and knew I had to use it! I used Kim Christiansen's Sk8ter kit for this. The stars are by...

Trying out the new camera here! Jen wanted photos of Atticus in his bunny suit, so here we are. I used Lynn Grieveson's new Woodlands kit for this. I did slightly recolor the blue paper to harmonize better with the baby's outfit. Cardboard eggs are by Amanda Rockwell and the bow is by Kelly...

I'm a few days late posting praise on this but I just saw it in Nina's gallery where it REALLY stands out! Gorgeous soft page. Love it! Marci

This photo was taken on a back road outside a small town in New Mexico. DH and I both looked at it and the first words out of our mouths were "Green Acres" so that became the title. We think it's appropriate. We're getting a lot of vicarious enjoyment out of DBIL's photos. I used...

We had a lot of fun watching this little guy chasing the birds while we were hanging around the beach at Ventura Harbor. Even though they kept fluttering away, he kept trying til his mommy made him leave..... I used Lynn Grieveson's new kit, Brighton, for this page. Lynn's products are available...
