Vintage Charlie

Vintage Charlie ... Jan 2005 ... we had a series of pictures taken with old vintage clothes. Had to buy them all, they were all so darn cute.


I did this layout for Bloomin' Easy Templates with Carena challenge at Digital Scrap Garden. You should stop by and grab this neat template and join in the fun. I used Ethan by Carena's Designs to do the challenge available at Digital Scrap Garden.

From April 2004

Looking through pictures and decided I just needed to scrap this one. I have so many that still need scrapping. Love it!

I love scrapping this handsome guy.

Did this with a Template by Colie for Jump Start challenge at Been There Scrapped That.

Sunday Afternoon

Sunday afternoon Charlie was climbing around on his dad's pickup while he dad was taking down a shed that was in my backyard that used to be used for my miniature horses' shelter. They live in the pasture right behind the house now rather in my backyard, so it was way past time for the shed to come down.

Dexter

Dexter started out to be Ike, but Jeffery decided Ike didn't fit him, so he is now Dexter. LOL
He is still a goofy pup and probably will be a puppy at heart for at least another 2 years. Labs take a long time to grow up. But even though he is all gangly and goofy, he really tries to be a good boy, even when he is trying to make himself fit in the chihuahua's bed.

Forest Mist

ScrapShana has this lovely new kit, Forest Mist. This kit brings the wonder of nature to your layouts. Deep forest colors, real foliage, sunrays, clouds or fog and a sweet little bird combine to create a kit that will be useful for many pages. Forest Mist by ScrapShana. Available at Digiscrapaganza.





Here are some of the layouts I have done using Shana's Forest Mist.


Taken on our trip to the Smokey Mountains in Apr 2007.


Jackson is a year old now.
Did this layout for the February technique challenge at Digital Scrap Garden called Follow Us Down the Garden Path with Liz & Elaine.



It was fine with Trouble if Angus wanted to be the top dog.
The layout above and the one below were done for the Wacky Wednesday challenge at Gotta Pixel.

Fresh Start

I've felt some nudging to update my blog. LOL So, guess I best get to it. First before I show you something really pretty, I have to belly ache about the fact that my corner of the world has not had any appreciable rain since late last spring. We so need some real good soaking rain.

Now let me show you what Traci has created. Fresh Start will brighten up any layout. It is fresh, full of spring and fun! Fresh Start from Horsedreamn Designs by Traci is available at Digital Garden.



This is the little sister of one of Charlie's friends, Jayden.

Here is one of "those moments" I captured a few days ago.

One of the beautiful moments in nature.

New Skills

Charlie has learned how to stand up and pump on his bike. He is very proud of himself.



I did both of these layouts using Carena's newest kit, Ethan. It is a fantastic kit for young boys, big boys, and so much more. You'll find it at Digital Scrap Garden.

Hugs and Kisses

Fantastic! Wonderful Valentine elements, papers and word art in the February collab kit at Digiscrapaganza!

New Beginnings

Isn't this a lovely kit? It is New Beginnings by Karen Wallace and it is available at Digital Scrap Garden.


Karen was giving this away to any Goofy Dork that would vote for Ladybug to be "interviewed" by everyone. We do have fun at Digital Scrap Garden. I have gone wild with it. Here are the layouts I have done with it, so far.

The first one was Karen's Scraplift challenge at Digital Scrap Garden. I scraplifted a layout by Ladybug ... Precious Memories.Second one was for the Artistically Speaking Challenge w/ Lynn at Digital Scrap Garden


And this one was for Karen's newest challenge ... Alphabet Potage


Come join in the great challenges and have fun with us at Digital Scrap Garden.

Behind Again

Even with my best efforts, I just can't seem to stay current here. There must some place I can save my thoughts and then just copy and come paste them in here. LOL

Traci of Horsedreamn Designs has another lovely kit out called Lil Blue. Here is a preview of it.

It was just perfect to show of my "Lil Blue" ... my sheltie, Jack whose full name is Jackson Pride in Blue.

Blue Norther

Just a quick note. Yesterday the weather was very nice, until ... Our temperature was in the low 70's. When I left here at 2 pm to go pick up Charlie from school it was 73 degrees. Got to school, waited a few minutes till time to go in and pick him up. At 2:45 when we got back in the car, the wind was blowing like crazy from the north and it was 53 degrees. When the wind blows like that and drops so quickly, it feels so much colder. LOL By the time we got home it was 49 degrees and continued to drop all afternoon. Just one of those Blue Northers you here about blowing through Texas.

Jessica

Horsedreamn Designs has this bright happy kit, Jessica, in her store now at Digital Scrap Garden.



Here is my Charlie just a couple of Saturday's ago playing outside.

Sparkleberry

ScrapShana has this beautiful new kit out called Sparkleberry. It is available at Digiscrapaganza.


I used it to do this layout of my maternal grandfather.

RAKed by Jennifer Barrette

Charlie climbed in Jack's crate, Jack followed him in and I grabbed the camera.

The quote is by Robert Benchley ... "A dog teaches a boy fidelity, perseverance, and to turn around three times before lying down."

Thank you, Jennifer. Love this kit!

Day Dream Believer Page Kit by Jennifer Barrette Designs and Angie Kovacs

His Expression

I just love the expression on Charlie's face. I did this one for a contest at Gotta Pixel.

Snuggle Up Page Kit from SarahB Designs by Sarah Meyers.

No Resolutions

Well, January is nearly over and I guess it is time to owe up to the fact that I don't do New Year's Resolutions. Dee has a challenge going at Digital Scrap Garden, Digging up Letters with Dee, using this really pretty alpha where she gives you 2 or 3 letters and ask you to scrap with them. Here is my answer to her challenge.

It reads: No Yearly Resolutions. I just don't do them. Never saw any point in setting myself up for failure.

I used Cozy Kind of Love by Sweet Digi Scraps available at Gotta Pixel.

Down and Dirty

This one was done for a template/element challenge by ScrapShana at Scrap Dish.


I used ScrapShana's Down and Dirty available at Scrap Dish and at Digiscrapaganza.

Way Behind

I'm a bit behind and I have a few layouts I'd like to share. So, I'm doing them one at a time, because I tend to get lost if I try to put them all in one long blog. LOL

There is a challenge called Scrap With This, Will Ya? going on over at Digital Scrap Garden where we are sharing photos and Ladybug chooses a couple each week and then we pick one and scrap it. It is really fun to scrap with subjects different from the ones you normally scrap.

Charlie was watching when I opened up this cute picture of Madeline. She is the granddaughter of my good scrapping friend, Elaine. He had a bunch of questions and then wanted to know if he could scrap her. I let him. He picked and placed all the elements. I think he did a really good job. We both had a blast.

This was done using the December Daily Petals by Karen Wallace at Digital Scrap Garden.

Bee Mine

Tami Savoie has done it again with soft colors, a little glitter and some fun friends make up my version of a Valentine's kit! Bee Mine is available at Digiscrapaganza. Love the name ... Bee Mine.




This is a 2nd cousins of Charlie's at her wedding and her grandfather.


And here the bridesmaids are making over Charlie. But Charlie was in love with the bride that day.
