Inkin' & Thinkin'

A creative bug! WAHOO!!!

I have to tell you that since I got sick, I just haven't had the desire to create anything but this past Saturday, I was in creative mode and I got a ton done!  I edited over 200 pictures for a couple of photo shoots from last month, I created some layouts and I even started a new kit!  So I thought I would share a little with you.

You may remember this QP from an earlier give away.  I made it with this photo in mind.  This is one of the Sr Pics I took of Destiny and I have to tell you we had a lot of fun.  Grab your camera and a teenage girl (really, any girl!) and just see how much fun you can have!  I had a blast with her ideas and her willingness to try anything.  It was awesome!

When I originally made this page, I was thinking that I would scrap my other grandma and how I wished she had kept a journal so I could read it.  But then it went a different direction and I scrapped my other grandma and my lack of a relationship with her.

I have this friend that recently moved away and with her she took her two beautiful babies.  I miss all three of them so much and was feeling a bit nostalgic the other day and found these photos of the girls when they were babies and couldn't help but scrap them....aren't they the cutest little things ever?!

I also stumbled on this photo of Kaylee from Halloween last year and well, she was just too cute!  This was her version of Dolly Parton and she was completely in character (ok...minus a few obvious embellishments) and had a ball being so pretty.

My cousin had sent me these photos of her son a while ago and I finally figured out what I wanted to do with them this weekend.  So I went for it.  The large photo on each page was her favorite so I wanted to make it pretty predominate.  She loved them so I was happy!

Laura aka {simply.scraps} gifted me this uber fun kit called School Girl Crush and of course I had to play with it!  So I grabbed some goofy pics from Lexi's soccer team this year and scrapped them.  I just remember them giggling so much that day and having fun with the shots.  I loved it!

I was also having a bit of an open journal moment and scrapped my nephew's mom.  I have tried to get to know her and have really desperately wanted to know more about my nephew and to meet him but she is pretty closed off and won't tell me much of anything so while I was in an honest journaling mood, I made this page.

And finally...because you know I'm addicted....

I also thought I'd show you Andy's hunting pics.  He went to eastern MT last week with his buddy and went antelope hunting.  They had a great time and both came back with some nice sized antelope to show for it!

Thanks so much for stopping by!  Come back tomorrow for a new freebie!

  

Monday night at midnight...hmmmm...a freebie?

I thought I better pop in here and catch up a little....so here goes the rattling.  Are you ready?

Well, Izzy wanted to do a photo shoot like Lexi did on her birthday so when she turned the magical age of 5, I took her on a little photo shoot and was it ever magical!

It was in no way easier than doing Lexi's.  Miss Izzy wanted to do all the things that a 5 yr old does naturally...run, jump, skip.  I took over 400 pictures of her that day and these are the ones that I liked in the end.  She was very excited to go but once we got ready to take pictures she just wanted to play so after a few pics, I let her do just that and I snapped away as the opportunity presented itself.

Gosh I wish I had her hair!  LOL!

Just look at those toes dangling out there above the creek...too cute!

I love this one!

Notice the great princess shoes she was sporting...LOL!

This is another of my favorites. 

I like this one a lot too!  The sun was just perfectly hitting that spot so Andy had to tromp through the mud to put her there and then she had to stand really still so she didn't get stung by the bushes.

She was all about climbing the trees as often as she could and finding that perfect spot to just relax for a second.

Every time we came upon an informational sign, she would do this pose...she was reading each one carefully and telling us all about what it said.

She couldn't resist jumping off of this log.  It was just begging her to do it!

This is another of my favorites...reminds me of little red riding hood skipping down the trail to Grandma's house.

This one is probably my very favorite..maybe.  Isn't that tree just magically delicious?!

I love this one too...just a great way to capture the magic of it all.  She was awesome!

Well, I hope you're not over her pictures yet (or Lexi's for that matter!) because you know I couldn't wait to get these on pages!

Now I've done a few more layouts with these pics but the kits aren't in stores yet so you'll just have to come back if you want to see more!  *Do you feel like you've just had to endure someone's photo album?!  LOL!

Now that I tortured you with my pics, how about a freebie to make you feel all better about it?

You can pick up the QP Here.  The kit is on sale this week for just $1.50 as well! 

ps.  I have two kits completed...maybe I'll surprise you with one very soon!

Lexi's 11th Bday Photo Shoot #1

I was so excited when Lexi wanted to do a photo shoot for her birthday (today) so we grabbed up a whole lot of props and costumes and headed out.  We only made it through one outfit and I had to come home and unload my memory card.  We're heading back out now to do another shoot in a new place.  I can't wait!  But before I go, I wanted to give you a little peek at this morning's shoot (in no particular order).

This one is my fav so far!

And we're off for round 2!  YAHOO!!!!

A Few Christmas Gifts...

These are a few of the projects I made as gifts this year.  I was a procrastinator and seriously put these off until the week before Christmas...I so suck!  But hopefully everyone liked them (they seemed to ... unless they are all good liars!  LOL!).

 

  

  

  

  

  

  

  

  

 

A Photo Keeper Box

I had the opportunity to take family pictures for a friend of mine and I couldn't possibly just give her proofs in something generic.  So I made up this little box to hold her proofs...I thought it was way more fun than a little photo envelope. 

Their family is beautiful by the way.  Too stinkin' beautiful.
