A Blessing For Me

As you know, the country of Haiti has had recent earthquake devastation and there are thousands of people displaced and in need of care, food, water and shelter. People from all over the world, perhaps even people from your part of the world who were there vacationing or visiting friends and family could be there in crisis and they need help! Lizzy Reiber of Fizzy Pop Designs is doing her part by participating with the relief and you will have your chance to participate soon, so stay tuned. Here's a peek for you!

2009-11-14T00:26:00.001-08:00

Wow, it's been so long since I've last posted. I thought I'd give my poor neglected blog a makeover! I used Dani Mogstad's Softly Falling, available at Sweet Shoppe Designs to decorate and of course, I've featured my darling little son in my header! Now that Digital Scrapbooking Day is behind us, perhaps things will slow down just a bit before the holiday hits us! I've also decided to pursue my digital design business a bit further, you can check it out at http://seattlesheri.blogspot.com/ or you can follow my on FaceBook HERE. I am a guest for both Catherine Designs and Cre@-Bisontine at After Five Designs this month. Here are a couple of my pages with their products! (images are linked for full credits)

Several more pages to come!

Lots of new pages!

2009-05-30T14:10:00.000-07:00

This page is a little different for me. I was really happy with the way this photo turned out. I just downloaded a trial of Adobe Lightroom, so I was playing around a bit. I'm completely flattered that this page was featured on the Gallery Standouts Blog this week!

Look at the fantasic colors of this kit called Verano by Sabrina Dupre! Just wonderful. You can find it at Shabby Pickle Designs!

Thank you so much for looking!

It's been a while!

2009-05-24T10:04:00.000-07:00

Well, now that I'm gainfully unemployed, perhaps I will have time to maintain my poor neglected blog! I guess I'll start by sharing my pages from the So You Think You Can Scrap (SUTUCS) contest hosted by After Five Designs and Shabby Pickle Designs.

Here is my first page. The theme was to scrap about yourself. I've always considered myself a city girl.

My second page was to scrap an era in time. While trying to preserve my anonymity, I decided to scrap about the 80's.

During week 3, I decided I didn't really care about preserving my identity and to just scrap something that I would want to keep.

I completed a quick bonus page this week too.

Week 4 was about music. My son Michael, loves music and dancing and was the perfect subject!

Week 5 was lots of fun! I love playing with color and different photo treatments.

and a quick bonus page that I fell in love with! I was fortunate to be randomly picked to win $50 in gift certificates too!

the last week focused on an object. I wanted to keep my page personal, so I added a photo I took of Thomas on our recent visit to San Diego, CA.

Happy New Year!!!

2009-01-02T09:51:00.000-08:00

Well, after a holiday blogging break, I'm back! I just noticed that all of my blog entries linked to my Digishoptalk gallery need to be updated ... so excuse the little red x's that are plaguing my blog.

Have you made a New Year's resolution? I haven't. I don't do well with resolutions. Instead, I decide to make gradual changes since I know I'm far less likely to be dissappointed in myself. This year, I'd like to spend less time on the computer (is that possible), exercise more, drop a few pounds, work on getting my mom moved closer to Seattle and spend more time on home projects. I'd also like to try to do more with my friends and family. My entire life I've always been the type of person that would go along with plans when invited, but rarely the inviter.

Happy New Year!

Sweet Shoppe Grand Reopening!

2008-11-15T21:10:00.001-08:00

2008-11-14T06:57:00.000-08:00

I had the pleasure of working with Mi's Krafty Kit, isn't it gorgeous? You can check our all of Scarletheels Designs at Catscrap (all images are clickable).

Oh my goodness am I in love with Boomin' Doodly, I love these flowers ... so much so that I surrounded my boys with them (not something I would typically do).

Several New Layouts

2008-11-07T15:15:00.001-08:00

Click images for full size versions and credits.

Here is a picture of Thomas from June 2007. I couldn't resist this dreamy image of him.

Jofia Devoe is one of my favorite digital artists. I used her new kit Winter Song (with Milla Designs) to make this page of Thomas.

Catherine Designs (After Five Designs) has several wonderful kits perfect for wedding photos.

These photos were perfect for Misty Cato's All American Girl (or in my case All American Boy).

How much fun is Libby's new kit, Drive Fast, Turn Left!

These boys are totally cute and what better way to capture them, than with Misty Cato's kit Toadally Cute!

Cute Monster Test

2008-10-31T09:52:00.000-07:00

You are giving, open, loving person. You truly want the world to be a better place. You appreciate what you have in life. You are very content.

Your inner demon is sensitivity. You are very sensitive, and your sensitivity can be a double edged sword.

People think you're cute because you're generous. you are easy to love -- it's part of your charm.

Take the test: Cute Monster Test

What Your Jack-o-Lantern Says

2008-10-24T13:32:00.000-07:00

You are a gleeful, exuberant person.You enjoy a good party, and you even enjoy a good brawl.This Halloween, there is no question what you should be... a pirate!The candy you should give out: peanut butter cups

2008-10-22T16:21:00.000-07:00

Here is my newest layout using Rock-it Science by Nikki Beaudreau available at Shabby Pickle Designs. I love the grungy, all-boy look of this kit and it's perfect for my son Thomas, who is 100% boy! He insisted on wearing these sunglasses for a couple hours the other night (yep, it was night and not at all sunny, lol). The next night he moved onto swim goggles, and even cuter sight ... but I didn't manage to get a picture of him. He's quite the character!

I am also completely flattered that this layout was posted as a gallery standout at www.digishoptalk.com.

She's So Sophisticated by ScarletHeels

2008-10-20T16:50:00.000-07:00

She'sSo Sophisticated hit both Catscraps and Scrap Orchard this last weekend. Isn't it beautiful? I'm lucky enough to be a guest on Scarletheels creative team through the end of November.

Here is my layout made with this fabulous kit. This photo was taken at Gasworks Park on my wedding day. Just over the crest of the hill is beautiful Lake Union. What a gorgeous day! Thanks for looking!

Holiday Cards

2008-10-18T15:00:00.001-07:00

I've spent the greater part of the morning and early afternoon working on some holiday card samples. Let me know what you think! ... oh and for some reason, when I uploaded the images to my blog, the quality deteriorated ... grrr ...

2008-10-17T14:22:00.000-07:00

Here is my newest layout using Dani Mogstad's Birthday Cake kit available at Sweet Shoppe Designs. I used a template made by Cindy Schneider based on a layout by Samantha DeSchamps. These are photos from my son Michael's 4th birthday parties (one taken at his school and the other at home).

2008-10-13T14:35:00.000-07:00

I went nuts making layouts this weekend. I love the colors of fall.

I finally got around to scrapping this picture of Thomas that was taken back in March when a pony visited his daycare. He doesn't look super excited to be on a horse, but he's still my little cutie! (click image for full credits)

2008-10-12T19:42:00.000-07:00

We took the boys to the Fairbanks Animal and Pumpkin Farm today. They had so much fun and I managed to take over 60 photos. As soon as I can get my lazy butt in gear, I will upload them and post a few.

I made this layout using a template for the Cookie Decorating challenge at Sweet Shoppe Designs. Michael loves (that is an understatment) dinosaurs. Click images for full credits.

Libby Weifenbach released a new kit called My Trusty Sidekick available at Sweet Shoppe Designs today. Here is my layout using this fabulous kit. I tried to make it look a bit like a comic book ....

Ice Cream Personality

2008-10-09T14:55:00.000-07:00

You like to think of yourself as a fairly modest person. And it's true that you don't talk yourself up... but you're also pretty happy with who you are.

You are incredibly cautious. You rather miss out on something than make a mistake. No one would ever call you wild... but they would call you responsible.

You are a very open minded, liberal, and flexible person. You love many things. You tend to have tastes that range from down home to cosmopolitan.

You tend to have a one track mind. You prefer not to multitask.

You are fun loving and sweet. You tend to enjoy joking around and teasing people.

I'm completely excited to announce that I have been published for the first time by Bella Scraps Magazine!

This layout featuring my son Thomas who recently turned 2 was made with a wonderful collaboration kit called Birthday Wish by Jofia Devoe and Holly Designs available at Shabby Pickle Designs. I also used Tear It Up overlays by Traci Reed Designs to create the effect of crumpled paper.
