Christmas pages

and another

A couple for now

Here are a couple of pages for now. In a few weeks we get a new computer and therefore, I will be able to scrapbook without the fear (or reality) of our computer crashing and erasing everything I spent hours doing (yes, that has happened a lot).

more!

With the above page I am going to write the story of what was going on with these pictures on an adjacent page. Since I have not done that yet, I will just give you guys the story here if you are interested. I was busy upstairs with Desmond and Gabe was gone as well as Aaron. Scotland, Ezra and Landon were doing SUCH a good job just playing together so I never bothered to check on them. After a while I kept hearing a strange beeping noise and the kids saying, I think the batteries are dying. Finally I decided to see what they were up to. Apparently they were playing Dora and Diego and taking pictures of each other. The beeping noise was my camera saying the memory card was full. These are a few of the pictures they filled my camera with.

FINALLY!!

I have been SOOOO busy lately with Gabe starting home school, me making Halloween costumes (pictures to come) and being a mom of 5 kids! I finally got a little time to do some scrapbooking done, so here are my few new pages!

The latest pages

So these are some of my latest pages. This is the neighbor kids making Froot Loop necklaces with my kiddos on our back porch. They are all just so stinkin' cute! ALSO for anyone interested, I do my mom's scrapbooking too and you can see that work at scrapbook4heidi.blogspot.com. There is some pretty cute stuff there too.

Look What I Can Do!!!

I am currently trying to teach myself more about Fireworks CS3 (the program I use to do my scrapbooking) and have learned some pretty fun things! I guess I am not really teaching myself because I am just reading different tutorials posted on the internet. So here they are. A few of the things I have created with my new knowlege!!

I think when I do this one next time (for a real page) I will use different colors. I want to make a page of Desmond's pictures showing how much he grows throughout the year.

I like how this one turned out for the most part. I am not sure if "Olivia" is too busy. the "l" kind of disappears. Eventually I will have some more good shots of just Scotland to make a page with this background.

So, what do ya think?!? I am having a BLAST doing this!
