This turned out GREAT!

Here's another layout using Bliss by Steel City Scraps. I made it at a Speed Scrap last night and then tweaked it afterwards to fix it up! =)

Bliss by Steel City Scraps

I had so much fun making this layout! The kit I used is Bliss by Steel City Scraps. This layout is for Adoption Ministry, the agency I do scrapbooking for and I just love how it turned out! The colors were perfect for the Seahawks jerseys! This kit is on sale right now for half off!! Images are clickable to be taken to her store and see full credits on my layout! =)

Happy Anniversary...

TO MY BLOG!!! Wow..I just realized that I created this one year ago today! Seriously?? I'm having issues with how fast time seems to be going lately!

So...to celebrate I made a freebie and I sure hope this works...if not let me know and I'll see if I can figure out how to fix it! =) I don't have fancy "preview makers" or anything, but this alpha turned out to be pretty easy to make and I thought I'd share! They are just for Personal Use.

Click on the image and then one TOU. I have individual pngs too....but I'm not sure how to get them all in one folder at 4shared! I have to learn how to zip them all into one folder, but I'm too tired now to figure that all out! I hope you like these. =)

Guest CT for Megan Turnidge!!

I was thrilled to find out that I could be a guest this month for Megan Turnidge. I love her designs and was super excited to learn that the kits I would get to play with both have a baby theme! It's PERFECT for the Adoption Ministry layouts I do for the agency. The kits are just gorgeous and have so many fun elements to play with! Here are a couple I've done so far...I just love how they turned out! Click on them for full credits. Click HERE for the coordinating FREEBIE on Megan's blog!

Here's the previews of her boy and girl kits:

Kaity is 4 years old!

I can't believe that Kaity is 4 years old already! How does that happen? I mean, I taught at ERHS for 5 years and it felt like eternity. I've blinked and she's a 4 year old starting preschool this fall. Wow!

Her actual birthday was Friday, July 31st, so we took her to Chuck E. Cheese, which she LOVED! Then we found a park with a beautiful flower garden. She got to play on the toys there and enjoyed that a lot. She talked about getting an ice cream sundae all day for her birthday so we went to Red Robin for her free birthday dessert! The staff was amazing! They actually gave her a real card, they all signed the inside and even spelled her name right! When we got home there was a package on the doorstep for her. Uncle Michael had sent her a birthday gift and she was SO EXCITED when she saw what was in the box. She played with her Tinkerbell teapot house the rest of the night!

We held her formal party on Saturday, August 1st. We had an outdoor party with water toys and the weather couldn't have been better. She had so much fun with her friends and cousins that came. Now all I hear from her is that she can't wait for another birthday and when will she be 5!

(ack..oh no! I'm not ready yet! lol)

Here are a few pics from the party weekend. Look at that one of her blowing out the cake closely....and read the caption below it!

(YIKES...the first 2 remind me of some pics my Seniors gave me when I taught high school! Please don't grow up too fast Kaity!!)

(I'm not sure if you can tell, but the upper left turret is SINGED! The flames got carried away while we were singing and I had to blow out her candles quickly before the castle MELTED onto the cake! LOL...we relit them so she could make her wish and blow them out.)
