Silly boy Posted by Picasa

I made this with a photo Tony had me take to show his Missionary friends back in Chile. He wanted them to think this was his hummer!

I made this for a challenge called "Out of Bounds" where you had to make a photo look like it was coming out of a frame. How could I resist this sweet picture of Lucius picking mommy a flower like he likes to do!

1964

Here I am at around age 3 with my Christmas gifts. I think this was 1964....


This is Jacob throwing rocks into the ocean in Maui in February of 2005. This beach was very rocky, no surfing allowed.

This family photo was taken on Sept. 30th, 2005, the day Tony returned home from his mission in Osorno, Chile. We are so proud of our first missionary and it was a blessing to have him serve a 2 year mission. This day was one of the best days of my life.

I love flowers....... They are God's special gift to me. I love all kinds of flowers, so when I found these yellow flowers, I knew they would shine in a frame of red & black.

This is a photo of Jacob and Lucius taken at a family reunion in November 2005. This event was held at my uncle's private school, Fairmont, in Anaheim. They were standing in front of one of the oldest trees in the city, but I cropped it out (it was ugly).
This is a photo of my mom (center) when she was about 10. She is the youngest of 4 girls. I found this photo, actually a bad copy of the original, and I tried to repair it. I think it looks a lot better. This is how I intend to preserve my family heritage and memories. I hope this photo brings joy to others in my family.

This was an "Art Journal" challenge that I entered online at http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com. It was supposed to be like you were doodling in your journal..... I'm not sure if this makes sense to anyone, but here it is.

This is Brittany when she was almost 2. She used to always smile for the camera, unlike these days when she runs away or covers her face!
These are photos that Jacob took while on the American Heritage Tour during spring break of 2006.

This photo was taken in July 2005 with my niece, Ka'imi on the left and my oldest daughter, Misty, on the right. We were at a small family reunion in Point Magu, California.

This page is all about my laundry room, done only because I entered a challenge on Digitalscrapbookplace.com.

This photo is me at age 18 mo - 2 yrs, around 1963. I was sitting in front of my house in Phoenix with my kitten. I really don't know much more about the day, except this is one of my favorite photos of me.

This page was a challenge page requiring 3 or more photos and some journaling. It was also a requirement to use this "Diva" kit, which I love anyway. I chose to do Brittany when she was younger and use to love to smile for the camera.
We attended a family reunion last summer and Seth and 3 of his siblings were the only ones out of the 8 that could make it. It was a last minute luau celebration for Helen's daughter Jody's 3 kids' birthdays and graduation. Since 3 of the 4 live in California, it was easier, but Helen came in from Hawaii.

This layout was inspired by the fact that my daughter and I didn't have any pictures together until this one was taken last November. She loves pink and I love brown, so that's why I used these colors. I used a few different kits and made some elements of my own. This photo was taken at a family reunion.

This layout was a Chat Challenge that involved chat participants suggesting certain elements to be included in the layout. The moderator chose the first ten suggestions which were: 1. Chipboard, 2. paper clip, 3. photo corners, 4. Lace, 5. torn paper, 6. flower, 7. hooks, 8. sea shells, 9. doodles, and 10. tree. My suggestion was the hooks... HA... Anyway, we could choose any kit or design and any theme and photo. So, here is what I came up with!



This was a DSP challenge to make a business card depicting your personal site at Digital Scrapbook Place.com. Here is my first attempt.

This is my grandson, Lucius, when he was 3 standing in front of a fountain at the Mandalay Bay in Las vegas, NV. This was a Scraplift of Kim Moreno's Matthew.

My obsession with flowers, can't get enough!

My second attempt at making a blinkie!
We vacationed with friends on the big island of Hawaii in February. This is my attempt of making them a scrapbook page with one of their favorite photos.

Pink Daisies

I thought of this during the night and worked about 2 hours on it today. It is mostly mine, but I used a kit called Black and White by Mada Engel for a few items, then colored them. I put a quote by Ralph Waldo Emerson "Never lose an opportunity to see anything beautiful, for beauty is God's handwriting." I tweaked a photo of daisies I had with a color scheme and a motion blur.

Hi! This is a place for me to keep my running journal and favorite photos along with digital scrapbooks to share with others. I have been wanting to get my own place for a long time, but as usual, have been busy working on everyone else's stuff.

Stay tuned for more photos and journaling soon!
