So, as most of you know, I LOVE digital scrapbooking! I have about 36 GIGS of digi scrap stuff. I am so appreciative to those who create wonderful elements (papers, embellishments, etc) for others to buy and use. Most of the designers will give away a small part of a kit (a.k.a. “freebie”). I subscribe to lots of designers’ blogs to keep up on all the great things they have and are selling or giving away but for those blogs that I’m not subscribed to, the Ikea Goddess finds them for me!

She does a daily compilation of the freebies she finds and gives you a thumbnail and website to find them on. Thank you Ikea Goddess!

So, I’ve seen a few people out there who design their own desktop every month with a cute picture and a calendar of the month. Here’s what I came up with…

Annette and I were preparing for the digi scrap class we’re teaching and wanted to show different styles people prefer (very little embellishment to a ton of embellishment). Annette called this one “The Fluff’s the Stuff” and I loved it! It’s actually the style I prefer. If you want to see Annette’s style, click here.

One of the scrapbook sites I love (http://scraporchard.com/) was doing a challenge using this kit. Here was my take on it:

Who knew a swing would bring so much drama? On Mother’s Day we were outside enjoying the day with our neigbhors. Evie was playing fine until she say our neighbor friend, Baily, get into the swing. She threw such a tantrum!!!

Then, yesterday, Evie was watching from the window and saw Bailey in the swing again. She stood there yelling “My Swing! My Swing!” I said, “Evie, can’t we share the swing with your friends?” Evie yelled, “NO!” I couldn’t help but laugh. Steve said she’s like her mommy…my first word (if I remember right) was “no” and at some point my favorite word was “mine.”

Steve and the kids spent Saturday outside while I “enjoyed” being sick inside. I kept the door open and pulled up a chair whenever Steve needed to get something done or go somewhere so I could keep an eye on the kids. Sweet Evie had more fun than I could say…and here’s the proof!

It’s weird not remembering a lot of details from Six Flags. I know we had lots of fun, I know we spent some quality time in the lines, and I remember being really thirsty. Other than that…I’m kind of drawing a blank. So, here’s what I came up with for our Six Flags trip back in 2004 with Jed and Leona.

So, for those of you who live around here and who want to do digital scrapbooking, we’re trying to get at least 10 people to sign up for a digital scrapbooking class in Springville. I love teaching others how to digi scrap and Annette and a few others think this will be a great way to teach others and help Steve out with the finances. If you’re interested at all, please let me know!

Here’s the page dedicated to the first BIG purchase as a married couple.

Every year I like doing an “All About Me” page for my kids. That way, when they’re older, they can see their likes, dislikes, friends, and unique things about themselves. Here’s Spencer’s for 2008.
