I think I have always had a camera in my hand. My SLR was purchased 2 years ago and I think I have flurished on the photography skills. I am no pro at it, but I enjoy capturing those great moments.

heat embossed covered mini album-finished
I really enjoyed doing this album, creating it took me out of my elements... well kinda... I have never embossed on anything to do with scrapbooking and absolutelty fell in love with it again. This Maya Road 4 x 4 mini album is one of my favorites and explains alot about me... so I know that it will be treasured by my children.
I had some Making Memories definition sticker in by stack of stuff and finally had a change to use them, I also used a digital journaling piece that was printed and journaled on.
I became Ruth Rebecca Harper
I was able to fit 10 photos in the 8 page mini album... all pages are back with chipboard and inked around the edges...

project #1 reuse
step 2: How can I reuse it?

Brainstorming...
step 3: What kind of supplies do I need?


To bind this book together I just punch two holes at the end for the loose rings I had left over from another project. 4 x 6 size photos worked really well with this project.

Journaling..
Once I captured the essence of this album " ME", the journaling came easy. I decided to explain in short journaling strips what is important to "ME", what is "MY" passion, who is "MINE" and what "MAKES" me happy...
project reuse.... is done....
reduce reuse recycle

We all have kids....
We all met up at Elisa's house to enjoy Christy's visit to California from New York. Elisa, Christy and I were roomates in college and played water polo for SJSU. Julie came into the picture a year later and we all keep in touch. We all love to scrapbook too so that keeps us connected also.
From left to right

weekend fun
So I had the whole weekend planned and well... it didn't go the way I had thought it would, but it was a weekend to remember. Savana and I started off with a great Friday at work, while dad was in charge of bubba, we enjoyed bagels from the local bagel shop and Savana made all the customers happy as they passed by my office. She continued to entertain herself while I worked for a couple of hours, then she got restless as I assured her we would go swimming and the hours kept passing. So I put my suit on and none the less, Savana's new suit from Old Navy... she looked too cute. We jumped in and enjoyed the sunshine for about 20 minutes. Well, Savana did not leave off from last summer, but she'll get back into being comfortble in the water... I just know it.After the egg hunt both kids got
restless/annouyed/frustrated/irritated and just plan crabby....
well and that made my afternoon and me
restless/annouyed/frustrated/irritated and just crabby...
then we took a nap...and had dinner...
We eventually all calmed down, but the whole process was a big lesson to learn...
DON'T SET EXPECTATIONS...
which I tell my self over and over agin, but just doen't seem to jog my mind to think overwise...
ohhh HappY Easter... Reserection Sunday!

8 x 8 mini circle album
Thanks to one of the most talented ladies I know... Casey who is an accomplished and published artist, she informed me about the Prima Hybrid contest. Well and encouraged me to enter. So, I put together this 8 x 8 mini circle album from Rusty Pickle that has been laying in my supplies for a very long time. First step was to create a template on my computer page that would be easily cut out in to the 8 x 8 circle. Then I played with tht digital elements from Katie and Designer Digitals
