This is the layout, that is 10 years worth of scrapbooking fun at Pine Valley, Utah with the gals. That is why it is so elaborate, and busy, and I had so much fun creating it! This layout was of the newborn pictures I took of my first grandson, but the layout was just recently completed. This is one of my all time favorite layouts. Due to the fact that the subject matter was beautiful and the pictures, taken by Debbi Leavitt were spectacular. I did not have any paper that would go good with the little plaid shirt, so I came up with the ribbon border sewn on the side. 'So Much' of a cute baby! Loved this paper with these pictures, taken on Christmas Eve, by Tara Askeroth Leavitt. She is a fabulous photographer.

I am a Mother of 8, grandmother of almost 27 wonderful little people. Married to a wonderful man for 38 years. I am a published scrapbooker, have decorated wedding cakes, made wedding dresses, had a wedding business, taught baton twirling lessons to girls for almost 40 years, and love to decorate my home inexpensively. I have always been a 'make-due' sort of person. I love dishes, teacups, teapots, and have to be creating something everyday. I love to listen to beautiful uplifting music and watch Masterpiece Theatre and Jane Austen movies while I scrap, craft or sew. I have become addicted to quilting, and dream about quilt blocks now. I am still working on getting better at this art form. I believe that Creating things with your hands is a good outlet and keeps your mind alert, and has a way of helping one lose all the cares of the day and world, right in my own little studio. Therefore I will never become a digital scrapbooker. I think that those who do digital turn out some beautiful pieces of art and lovely layouts, but for me I need to cut and paste by hand!
