DD has been saying that she sees no resemblance between herself and my newest DGS. As I was scrapping this photo from 1980, I decided she is WRONG! Yes, there IS a resemblance! I used Amanda Rockwell's Daisy Doodles kit for this page as well as her The Basics--White. The bg paper is from another...

Another photo from our trip to the zoo. These guys greeted us with "hello" the minute we walked up to their cage. I never held a conversation with a parrot before..... I used paper from Amanda Rockwell's Amanda and Lauren Rule the World. The red paper is by Ashley Olson. The doodled...

Another photo from our trip to the LV Zoo. All papers are by Amanda Rockwell: blue from Amanda and Lauren Rule the World; green from Fresh, Back in Black Collection; yellow (saturation increased) from Daisy Doodle; orange is from FunkyTown, Back in Black Collection; red from Tropical Island...

Another memory purse insert. I used Amanda Rockwell's The Basics--Craft paper for the bg. The flowers are from her Big Lauren's LaLa's kit. The butterfly is from her Flutterby kit and the heart is from her Color Me Stitched kit. Amanda's items are all slightly recolored. The brush is by Mary Ann...

I WAS the proud owner of 5, count 'em, 5 unopened boxes of Thin Mints. I forbade DH to eat them, but I failed to forbid DD since she lives elsewhere. Little did I know she'd open two boxes while she was visiting. Seems my son-in-law ate hers! I used the new March NDISB Collaborative kit (a...

Amazing photo. That would have been something that would have kept my camera busy too..... Love this. Marci

Joe and I bought Will this inflatable solar system for Christmas. He and his dad had a good time putting these scale models up in his room. I used Theresa Hernandez's new kit, Country Farmhouse, available at ACOT and NDISB. The star is by Misty Cato; the sun is by Michelle Underwood. I used a...

I tried out a tutorial on Rosa Sprague's blog and basically scraplifted her example! These photos are by Deb Pearson and the kit used is Boutique Chic (ES March Mega Kit) by Melanie Colosimo at: http://elementalscraps.com (this is actually from Melanie's portion of this gorgeous mega kit). The...

Outside the Olivos Adobe in Ventura, is a beautiful rose garden. I was instantly attracted to this sunshiney specimen. LOVE the color. Windgefluester's Hurrah for Spring had just the right colors. It's available at O Scraps or Pocket-Pearls.

I love watching the relationship between DGS and our Lab mix, Toby. Toby is so loyal and loving toward Will that you'd think they spent everyday together instead of just a few hours here and there. I am convinced no one will ever hurt Will at our house as long as Toby has breath. I used Cascia...

When Joe and I visited Ventura Harbor in September, 2006, this little guy settled onto a rock only 4 or 5 feet from us--very tame. I used Lynn Grieveson's kit, Catalina, available at Designer Digitals today. The cardboard flowers are Little Lauren's Lalas (Hey, I don't name 'em, I just scrap...

My desk is stacked high with papers. Tax information is arriving on my doorstep, in the mail, in e-mail, and with clients sitting in front of me at the desk. And, I'm feeling overwhelmed! When I saw Deb Fisher's kit called "That's My Life", I knew exactly what I wanted to do with it...

Just a cute snapshot of my new DGS. I used Deb Fisher's "That's My Boy" mini kit for the page, available at Pickleberry Pop. I also used a template by Rachel Giallongo.

This is gorgeous! Wow, love the bright pink and the quote! Marci

I did this page several weeks ago and never had time to post it. It was for a Lifts with a Twist challenge where the layout we were lifting was by "Almost Mex". We took our silly puppy up to the mountains, along with my DGS, my stepdaughter, and our retriever. Everyone but the puppy...

Great job with the clustered photos! Marci

I was shocked when I looked at this photo of Will taken just shy of a year ago; he looks SO much more grown up now! I used Urban Bungalow by Theresa Hernandez. The stitching (recolored) around the photo is from the free with $6 purchase kit, Les Accessories Naturel (offer valid through March 7)...

Photo from last summer when I got to take DGS to his swimming lesson. I used papers from Amanda Rockwell's The Basics--Black, Fab Back in Black, and Fresh Back in Black. The template is by Victoria Feemster. The cardboard stars are from Amanda's Star Light Star Bright element pack. All of...

Two of my favorite people in the world--Karla and Michelle. We worked together for years and I thought they were amazing women. Karla is my hero, having survived breast cancer 4 times. I used the Two Scoops kit by Amanda Rockwell and Lauren Grier called "Amanda and Lauren Rule the...

Another of the photos I got of DD and DGS at our photoshoot a couple of weeks ago. I used Nina's new kit, Georgina, for this. Georgina is available at NDISB or at OScraps. The scalloped border around the photo is by Shabby Princess, used as a clipping mask for papers from the kit. I did this for...
