looking at old photos...

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 choose to use Basic Grey and Hambly Studios Patterened Paper as well as Hambly Studios Tansperancies. I also added a little bit of Tinkering Ink Patterened Paper torn and adhered to the edge of the transperancy.

This is our 2007 Family Photo...

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.

In the hospital minuites after CT was born.

As for journaling topics, I decided to explain when I became who I was... for example, "3 years ago"- my name becane mommy.

I love this photo...
