Window frame, daisies, and basket of flowers from Numbumm, Kit Meadow. Pot of flowers from Catherine Designs, Spring Chic. Tag from HeArtistic, Solitary Flute. Flower spray from Lori Davison, Dragons End.
And the photo is mine. One of the many snow photos I shot this winter. This actually is a photo I took of the view from my front window, although I took it outdoors rather than through the window glass. I haven't conquered those tricky glass reflections in my photography yet. I was so inspired on the days we had major snow storms this winter to get up early and get out in the snow before the sun got too strong and started casting strong shadows and glare. I couldn't believe that I actually wanted to get out and tramp around in the snow at 7 am taking pictures, but I did.

This is a layout I did for a fantasy challenge at Creative Victorian Design. They have a wonderful variety of challenges there every month and last month they added a fantasy challenge to the many others that they offer. There are lovely gifts for entering each of the challenges (quick pages, borders, clusters that are absolutely gorgeous) and the challenges themselves are a lot of fun. So head on over to www.creativevictorian.com and join in the fun.
My March layout used dragons, fire and word art from Creative Victorian Designs, Dragon Ascendancy kit. The background paper, ink bottle and blank book are from Lori Davison's kit, Before the First Frost and the landscape scenes are from Morguefiles.com.
I'm working on my April fantasy layout right now and will be posting it here on my blog shortly.

Forgotten Photos Sitting in the Attic
I've been crawling under the eves in the attic searching through boxes of old photos. Many of the photos are ones I remember from years past. But I found a few I've never seen before. Some are labeled, some not. It's been an interesting adventure into family history.
I created this layout with some of the family photos that I found. The background paper , tree and floral elements are from the kit, All Things Grow With Love by Newlife Dreams Design. The antique frame is by Christina Renee from her Authentic Artistry Alphabet collection and the font is Buttons & Patches.

Hanging The Moon
I just purchased two kits from Mary Pop: Sweet Dreams and Magical Moments. I used one of the papers from Sweet Dreams here with some elements from Magical Moments. As soon as I saw the cut out window frame I knew which picture I wanted to use with it. Ethan is our family's little escape artist. From the time he could crawl, he was climbing -- in, out, on top and under. Fortunately he was especially well co-ordinated and is well and whole today. But there were moments when we all wondered. I remember one time, when he was just under two, when I came into the kitchen to find him in the middle of the kitchen table attempting to climb the chandelier. After that all of the kitchen chairs were strapped to the kitchen table for several months so he couldn't use them to climb on things.

Winter Photography
I remember complaining at the beginning of winter, that I didn't have enough snow pictures for my scrapbooking. Last time, I'm ever going to make that complaint. We had an all time record breaking season for snowfall here in southeastern Pennsylvania and my computer is filled with gorgeous snow scenes. This series of pictures was taken by my daughter, Dawn of my grandson with his new puppy. The second I saw these pictures, I knew I had to scrap them. The window frame is by JennU from her Older Windows collection. Background paper and snow are elements I've been working on in my design classes.
Back Again
Well, it's been quite awhile since I posted here. I've become totally addicted to scrapping and have been spending all of my time doing either layouts or designing. Having lots of tine and learning a tremendous amount along the way. The designer course at Hummie's is continuing and I am also taking designer lessons at Amanda Rockwell's, ScrapArtist.com. That plus online tutorials and a new selection of photoshop books that I've purchased have been keeping me busy and inspired. Speaking of inspiration, I picked up the latest copy of Somerset Studios magazine at the bookstore recently. I was so impressed with the quality of their publications. (They have several different ones, including my favorite--the one on digital scrapbooking). The price is a bit steep but the quality is amazing.

When I'm not scrapbooking (hmm, when exactly is that?), I'm enjoying life with my family including my two daughters and two grandsons, my husband Clemens and my Cavalier Spaniel, Vinnie. My hobbies include photography, reading, biking, and hiking.
