Blast from the Past

I am still trying to go through a huge pile of photos from my childhood that my mom handed over to me and pick out my favorites to put on layouts! Here's another look at baby Becky!

Nothing Quite as Happy as a Warm Puppy in Your Lap

This layout was inspired by a Studio Calico challenge. I LOVE this photo of Olivia and Anson - it just makes me smile!

I am starting to use the mists more and more on my layouts and like playing with this new technique! Although, every time I grab one of those little squirt bottles and go at a finished layout with it, there is always a moment of angst...

You knew it was coming...

Actually, I cannot believe this is my first and only layout with a mustache on it...

I love the title on this one! It was so fun!

A Place to Call My Own...

A layout of our new house - thankfully it isn't full of boxes anymore, but we have a long way to go still in getting our house exactly how we want it!!

It's been awhile...

How Time flies when the Holidays are upon us! I actually have quite a few LOs stacked up to share!

Enjoy...

A layout about one of my favorite people in the whole world - remembering my Gram.

From the Archives II....

~Chi Town Throw Down~

I'll be posting a few more Layouts from awhile back that never made it onto the blog since I am off to Dallas for work this week!

I love this layout because the patterned paper was so much fun; I love this layout even more because it has TWELVE pictures on it, 7 of which are 4x6! The waterfall "mini album" really allowed me to pack some great, albeit embarrassing, photos on this layout from a fun night out in Chicago. The waterfall "mini album" was great for not only getting a lot of photos on this page, but doubled as a useful way to include, yet hide, some of the more "ridiculous" photos from this night! 

One of my favorites...

This layout of my niece, Dara, right after she was born is probably one of my favorite layouts that I have ever done! She just looks so happy to be here!!!
