My dad

This is my dad Henry. I took this picture in July at the Davidson/Watchman Family Reunion in Sawmill, AZ. Had a wonderful time there meeting new people and had a blast with my family. I don't get to see them alot. I'm guessing only about twice a year. It is always great to see such a happy smile on my dad.

mom

This is my mother Louise. I got this photo from her just this past July. I tried to use a kit that compliments the black and white photo.

Memories

I got this photo from my aunt Angie. I have never seen it before that. Gosh, I wish I could remember those days. From left to right is: me, cousin Gina, little sister Bernadette, cousin Christina and the last three I don't really know who they are. Gina and Christina are sisters.

Kitty

I was playing around with photo masks again. This is my friend Maria's cat. Her name is Kitty.

The Kawell children

The center woman in this photo is my mother-in-law, Ella. The others are her brothers and sisters. This layout was made with another amazing kit made from my Daisytrail friend, Anne. She is so talented. I just love her kits. I made the photo corners with the DSA program.

John 3:16

The most amazing scripture in the Bible. I really wanted to make this layout match the frame and all the embellishments. I made the cross from different shapes that I cut out from digital papers and used the DSA (Digital Scrapbook Artist) program to make it look like stone. Love that program...

Hayden Guy

I tried a different method with this layout. I used a black and white photo and put the pink color into the blanket. Again, the frame is a photo mask.

Desert Botanical Garden

I made this layout for a weekly challenge at Daisytrail. The theme that week was "Gardens". Since I don't have a garden and don't know where to look for one, I decided to do it on the gardens of Arizona desert.

Chooch

This is our dog Chooch. He is quite a character. Actually, Chooch is Brian's dog. In this layout, I was practicing with photo masks. I really like using photo masks. They make the picture more interesting.

Butterflies

Just playing around with a black and white kit, plus I really like butterflies...

Brooke

These photos of Brooke were taken in May 08. I just love taking pictures of her. She has such an amazing smile and glow about her.

Brittany & Tiara

These two beautiful girls are my nieces Brittany and Tiara. I took this picture of them last year. The both of them just graduated from high school (Brittany) and middle school (Tiara). I am so proud of the both of them. They always seem to have that smile everytime I see them.

Brian

One of my favorite photos of Brian when he was a baby. Brian was about 9 months old here. Now he is going to be 21 this year. Wow.....

The Bald Eagle

This is Brittany. She is my niece. I took this picture last year. She has such a beautiful smile.

Brian's serious and focused look

Now this is Brian. I took this picture about a month ago. He was so focused on playing a video game. There is such a seriousness in his face. I just had to take his picture...

Brian as a baby, page 2

Well, these are more photos of Brian. My favorite is the bottom right. I just love that cheezy smile. The top right is my niece Amber, Brian, my sister Glenda and on her lap is my niece Sharelle. This photo was during Brian's 1st birthday party....

Brian as a baby

These are just some of the photos that I took of Brian when he was a baby. He is just to cute. It was so hard just to choose what pictures to put in this layout. Now my baby is 20 years old. Where does the time go?....

Arizona Sunset

I took these pictures one day coming back from my friend's house. I had to stop and snap a few photos. The colors that were in the sky were so beautiful. This showed me that God's color pallet is endless and amazing....

Brooke

This is my beautiful "grandaugther" Brooke. She is my niece Amber's first baby. She is to adorable.

Hayden at 1 week

These are more pictures of Hayden that were taken by my sister Glenda. Hayden is about a week old in these pics. She looks so much older than a week.

This is my niece Amber's beautiful new baby Hayden Marie Guy. These pictures were taken when she was just a day old.

Jackie

Here is a layout that I did of myself. They are both school pictures. Check out the one with the checkered shirt. I had just gotten over having the Chicken Pox. You can see the marks on my chin. How funny.............

Digi Scrapbooking

I have found a new craft that I love.....

Digital scrapbooking. I enjoy making layouts because it envolves my other passion - photography. I love to take pictures and when I put my pictures to make a statement in a layout, it is even better......
