You are Mine!

Created for Crop-Azing Race on Timeless Inspirations. We were to create a LO using a creating way to journaling on the photo itself.

The journaling was a joint effort from all three members of my family. I found this cute photo of my daughter, Carley standing beside a tree. Bill (my hubby, her Daddy) wrote the journaling and I then wrote the journaling in my handwriting on a transparency. I got Carley to draw the heart and write her initials and the "?" to resemble a carving on the tree. I then scanned in the writing...used the magic wand...inverted it...copied it...and pasted on the tree using Photoshop. Took way longer than I had thought it would. LOL Doesn't it always? Every other heart is pop-dotted for dimension.

Journaling: It is hard to believe how fast you are growing into a beautiful young lady. It wasn't so long ago that you thought boys were gross. Before you know it, they'll be stealing your heart away. But until then... You are Mine!

Dance with me Please?

This series of photos are of my daughter and nephew at a family wedding in December 2005. My daughter, Carley wanted to dance so badly! But Chance would not even think of dancing with a girl...even though it was just his cousin. She finally coaxed him into dancing with him and I was able to get these cute photos!

Be Yourself

Created with Design Team Ribbon Kit from Savvy n Sassy.

Journaling: This is my baby! She can be all prissy one minute and tromping around in Grandaddy's clothes and boots the next. Fall 2006.

Mad Money

This was created for the Crop-Azing Race on Timeless Inspirations. We had to create a project using real money, so I altered an oatmeal box.

I made a Mad Money bank for my daughter. Mad Money was what my Mamaw always called extra change. Carley has been wanting a bank to start saving money for vacation so this was perfect! I chose colors that would match her room. On the ribbon that is coming out of the flower at the top, I added coins for decoration.
