Book in a Box

This morning I was going through some of my projects from "Way Back" (2 or 3 years ago) and found this Book in a Box I did for Tammy. The papers were by My Minds Eye and the project features Tammy's niece, Rachel. She loves purple! Enjoy!

Surfin' Pomeranian

My fun friend Polsia sent me this cute Surfin' Pomeranian. She knew that I'd love him, and I do! Thanks Polsia...you know me so well!

A six-year old Pomeranian named Bobby Gorgeous waits to compete in his
20lbs and under heat at the 4th annual Helen Woodward Animal Center "Surf Dog Surf-A-Thon" at dog beach in Del Mar, California September 13, 2009.

Winter Wonderland

This layout is loosely based on a design assignment I did for Bazzill awhile back. I just love the photos, the card stock, and the SEI striped paper. I don't get to share work like this with you very often. This is a re-designed, re-created layout for Stacie. Stacie is so generous to let me feature her amazing photos in my professional works.

You're perfectly even-tempered right now, and you almost certainly find yourself defusing tricky situations with ease. It's a good time to deal with domestic issues, especially family conflict.
