Uploading, but not.

Sometimes I think I am just a little dense.  I created this page for Sahlin Studio's Template Challenge.  I was inspired right away with her template.  The problem is I just cannot figure out how to upload my page onto the LilyPad site!  I guess I will have to stop

and pullover for directions.

I used Sahlin Studio's August Challenge Template and her Sweet Storytelling Collection.  This photo just jumped into the template, sweet.

Summer Bucket List

Check!

Our visit to the Blanton Art Museum

Another item checked off my Summer Bucket List, I am following The Happy Family Movement, Summer Bucket List on Facebook.


1.  Get to a museum or two.  Yesterday we got to the Blanton Art Museum (I don't think the boys were very into it) on the UT Campus, which was new to us.

My oldest son, turning 9 in September 2013.

My oldest child, she is turning 11 next week.

2. Take updated head shots of my kiddos & a little journal word to go with. 

My baby, who will be turning 5 in September 2013.

Now I just need to get a few photos of the whole family.  I do not think we have any of the five of us at all.  I love how the individual pages came out with each child highlighted.  I have stopped fretting about getting things documented and started enjoying the process.  Realisticly, I take WAY too many photos to make a page for every event.  I will just stick with the ones that inspire me. 

Hope you enjoy.

My Beautiful Daughter

It has been a while since I have had time to sit down and do any type of scrap booking.  I even had a computer change and my old computer eat most of my digital collection, which I am now rebuilding slowly.  I just had to sit  down and churn one out after seeing FDS's template for April's Scraplift.

One usually breeds several, so I will take a little time here and there and get a few pages worked out.  Already have one in my head, ready to be worked out in PSE.

Baby Turns Four

My baby turned four this week, to mark his birthday I opened up my shutter on my camera and took frame after frame in quick succession.  I just let him do his thing with out instruction.  Pailee Press template was perfect to get my juices going.

A side note, I lost all of my previous digital library when I had to take my computer down to it's operating system.  Yes, I backed everything to disk before the reboot, but when I went to reload my digital library that (one and only one) disk was corrupted.  RRRRR!  That just means I get to start all over and fresh'n things up and buy all new stuff.  That also means all that un-zipping and reorganizing.  I will live, and I promised myself I would just pace myself.

Light of my Life

My sweet girl.  This is for FDS's December Kit Challenge (1).  I just whipped it up, it is okay.  I have been doing a lot of quilting and sewing trying to get a few UFO (or Unfinished Objects) that need to be finished by Christmas.

Got Floaties!

This layout is one of the pages I did for our 'Summer at the Pool' paper bag album.  The background is a photo I took that wasn't that great as a color shot so I converted it to a B&W and it worked wonderfully.  The template was one from Scrapgirls and to digital papers are just a whole lot from various collections but mainly from Oscraps Carnival.  But this just has to be one of my faves.

August's Free Digital Scraplift Callenge Entry.

I just love doing these challenges, really gets me inspired and working on my 'to do' list.  My digital pages, as well as my paper pages usually are multi-photo arrangements.  I am such a shutter bug and I hate to leave something sit in my folder and not scrap it, this template fits right in there with my scrapping style.

The photo is from this July.  My daughter and I attended G.A. Camp with our Church.  Hard to tell in these photos how down the lake was, due to drought, that it was 105F in the shade and full on sun.  Just another Summer in Texas.
