Mom

This layout was scrap lifted from Amy Mayhew. I did my stamping a little different and I added a little embellishment. The layout idea is all her creation.

Audubon Aquarium of the Americas

This layout was inspired by Marjorie Eno's color challenge #12. We had to use at least three of these colors: Orchard Bouquet, Citrus Leaf, Pink Carnation, and Crystal Blue. I ended up only using the first two colors and added three others, so it didn’t up working for her challenge!

Audubon Zoo

This layout was inspired by Marjorie Eno's color challenge #11. We had to use at least three of these colors: Heavenly Blue, Sweet Leaf, Buttercup, and Chocolate. And we were allowed to add another color if we wanted. I added White Daisy.

The Louisian Swamp Exhibit at The Audubon Zoo

This layout was inspired by Marjorie Eno's color challenge #10. We had to use at least three of these colors: Kiwi, Buttercup, Citrus Leaf, and Topiary. And we were allowed to add another color if we wanted. I added Bubble Gum. I have black ink on the layout too.

Down By The River

The layout was designed by my up-line Brandy Jo did. The left side is from the December 2007 CTMH Workshop. The right side was created by Brandi Jo.

I love this CTMH Free Spirit paper. It was designed by my cousin, Dustin Mackay.

Horse Parade

This layout was scrap-lifted from page 18 of the CTMH Summer 2007 Idea Book and Catalog.

U Stole My Heart!

This layout was inspired by Majorie Eno’s color challenge #9. We had to use at least three of the following colors: Hollyhock, Sunkiss Yellow, Sweet Leaf, and Cranberry. Thanks, Marjorie, for inspiring me to be creative and use colors I would never think of using together.

Ariel

I decided to take on Marjorie Eno's color challenge #8 where I had to use the colors listed above. At first I thought the color combination sounded weird, but later realized I had pictures of my daughter with Ariel which would look great with those colors. I am glad I took on the challenge and can't wait to do more!

Pre School

Here are pictures of my daughter looking all grown up going to Preschool (August 2006). Boy I can't wait to see what look she gives me when she is older!

Kindergarten

Spring Ride

This layout was designed by my up-line Brandy Jo.

Me @ 40!

Here I am at 40! Wow time flies by. These pictures were taken back in May 2006. I still have not entered a journal on this layout, because I do not remember what I did on this day.

My Family

I love this layout. My Mom took all of the outdoor pictures. We are at the Manti Temple. The indoor picture was taken by Kiddie Kandids. All of the pictures were taken in September 2006.

Snow Fun - Daughter

I got the idea for this layout from my up-line, Brandy Jo Burton. I changed the title and added the snowmen.

Snow Fun - Son

I got the idea for this layout from my up-line, Brandy Jo. I changed the title and colors and added the snowmen.

Dad U Inspire Me!

I entered this layout in a contest Close To My Heart had back in October 2007, at an Album Retreat in Park City, Utah.

I did not win 1st place, but I did get in the top 10!

You cannot see the journaling. It reads:

Dad,

I'll bet you never knew how much you inspired me through out the years! I've learned so much growing up with you as my dad. Although I don't do everything you do, I've always watched and learned from your example!

Your being frugal has shown me the importance of watching my pennies. I'm so proud you've never been in debt considering the state of our crazy world. I really do admire that about you!

You faithfully attended church every Sunday staying steadfast to the rod. Always teaching me how important Christ is in our lives. You truly have enriched my faith in Christ and in you.

You always promoted the importance of higher education, although you never obtained a college degree yourself. Your encouragement gave me the strength to obtain my bachelors degree.

No matter what you say, no matter what you do, I want you to know I'll always love you!

My greatest hope in life is that I can be as inspiring to my children as you have been to me!
