Live Your Dream

MDS: Ella & Blackwater Grill

Here is another layout from last summer's trip to Jekyll Island. Seeing Ella's sleeveless top makes me long for sunshine and warmth!

MDS: Train Up a Child

Here's a layout from Ella's baby dedication (aka Parent Dedication) we did last April! :) The big empty space in the lower right-hand corner was for the invitation (also designed in MDS). I just adhered it to the printed digital copy and whalah I now have a hybrid design. I just love, love, love Stampin' Up!'s My Digital Studio software.

MDS: The Beach at Dusk

I finally got around to scrapping the photos from our Jekyll Island vacation last year. I just {heart} this picture of Ella. :)

(Don't forget that you can click on the pictures to pull up the full-size version.)

MDS: Three Pumpkins

Oops! I've been a bit scarce this weekend. My friend and I had a blast at the all-night Black Friday shopping (starting at 10:30 p.m. on Thanksgiving day). I guess I needed a few days to catch up on my missed sleep and get our house decorated. I didn't take ANY pictures last week but I do have the three layouts from our visit to the pumpkin patch (last month) to share.

MDS: Halloween Layouts

We had my MIL over for "Thanksgiving" last night. It was fabulous. Our turkey was scrumptious and filled the whole house with a delectable scent! We used the Company's Coming Turkey recipe from Taste of Home's Simple & Delicous Oct/Nov 2010 issue. Anyway, I still haven't dreamed up any additonal Christmas Card layouts but soon...I will, I promise!

Tonight I wanted to share our Halloween layouts.

MDS: Georgia Girl

Here's another layout of Ella...can you believe she will be 9 months old tomorrow?!

MDS: Oh Baby!

Do you remember all the preparations for my sister's baby shower back in September? I finally put together a scrapbook layout for Ella's album.

MDS: Play Ball

Now that Clark's fall ball season is over I grabbed all the pictures we had taken (mostly from the last couple of games) and put together a scrapbook layout over the weekend. I can't say enough good things about My Digital Studio. If you are a scrapbooker or want to become one, it is SO easy to use!!

MDS: Easter 3 in 1

Whew! What a week. I just couldn't get it together. Between being gone most of last weekend, adding extra errands to our already tight schedules, etc. I did all I could to stay on top of Clark's school lessons, get food on the table, and keep the dishes out of the sink. (Clark still has two more math pages to complete tomorrow!)

Now that the house is quiet (except for the occasionally buzz of the dremel...pumpkin carving pictures to come soon!), I am slowly catching up on more scrapbook layouts. I decided that if the event involves two or more of the kiddos that I will create it using My Digital Studio so I can swap pictures and journaling quickly. Whalah! This is the first of three layouts from Easter Sunday.

Now I'll replace some of Clark's pictures with pictures of Alex...

And now I will add more pictures of Ella and re-word the journaling a bit...

Now that was easy! ;)

MDS: Camping in the Rain

I was going through pictures on my flash card this afternoon and found these from our camping trip last October! I love being able to scrapbook one layout and print two copies for each of the boys' scrapbooks. :)
