a few more layouts... and catch-up with my photos

Picked up some Daisy Bucket - A Wondrous World with my last order at Lovebug. Love the colors and love the outdoor-sy feel to these patterns.

Scrapped some pics of Devin and I at a picnic last September.

Again, Daisy Bucket papers -- another of my favorite fall photos of the kids.

This one is based on a sketch by Tina MacDonald at Paws On Scrapbooking.

my layout for Monday's challenge at

Sisterhood of Scrap -- my little princess :-)

.... and my three handsome boys!

A couple of layouts done with Basic Grey's "Urban Prairie". I just love this line and I have done lots of layouts with it. Getting down to scraps of it now :-)

Did this layout for a challenge I posted at Lovebug Scrapbooking. Isn't that Daisy D's paper cute!?

I used Bo Bunny for this one. I don't have a lot of BB paper, but I really like the grungy look for this layout.

photo tag

I've been tagged by Jackie :-) I'm supposed to pick my 6th picture folder and then the 6th picture. Here it is:

I don't know what happened, but the colors are "off". Photo is from July 2004. We were at a friend's cabin, near the water. The kids had lots of fun finding crabs. Jessica, my nature girl, had no fear of holding them -- as long as she kept her fingers away from the snaping claws :-)
