...that make my heart sing. ♥ I love this smile. These cheeks. :) Those eyes! I love that Wyatt has now wiggled his little way into his daddy's and my coffee time, right down to his own special little cup. I love that Tucker loves to read, without being prompted to. Yes, that's his Bible he's reading. Priceless. I love that these little boys love each other so much. They're laying here watching a movie and yes, they're holding hands. This happens a lot. No matter what life throws at us, when we have this we are truly rich. I'm still plugging away at P365, too far behind on journaling to post without blushing visably, lol, but taking lots of photos. It's the everyday moments that I love looking back on the most. These are what make up a life.
Thanks for looking! Hope you have many magical moments in your life today. ♥ Hugs,
Here are three links to some amazing Photoshop Elements tutorials produced by Noel Joy. She's amazing, and has amazing photographs, as well. Also, you can visit her blog thru a link on the blogs list. You will leave inspired and a better person.
I have been scrapbooking on paper since 2008, but have done it many years before in my head! With two small boys it took some time for me to be able to carve out a niche for this.
I love creating lo's, altered items such and journals and treasure boxes, cards and items for the home. My work has been featured on the Graphic 45 website and my lo won first place at this year's CKC in Portland, Oregon. That was a real thrill for me. I am currently on several design teams and love the challenge of working with new products and mediums. I love exploring all styles, but my true love is a very feminine or vintage inspired style. I love the layered look and being able to incorporate things from my life into my projects.
I have a background in design and decorating and have been a crafter of things I love since childhood. I love the vintage look and think those type of projects speak volumes to those who see them because they are packed with symbolism about the subject. I do branch out to other styles and love to try a fresh approach with my artwork by trying new trends. But I admit it, I am an old soul. ♥ Thanks for visiting.
