Hannah Montana Layout


This is a layout I just finished for a customer. She recently took her daughter to see Hannah Montana in concert and wanted a layout to scrap her pictures. I downloaded the logo from the internet and printed it out on white paper and then matted it on some funky star paper. The star was done with the Coluzzle Star template adn then framed with a blue paper cut to mat it. The words are American Crafts foam thickers (I love thickers!).

Party On



This is a layout of Taylor's 7th Birthday Bash that got rained out.

{Chair}ity Case


This is a series of pictures taken on the Fourth of July as Taylor leans back in his chair and falls to the ground...repeatedly.

The Choice is Clear


This was a page I did about Taylor's new cleats he got from his Uncle Carlos.

Family


These were just some random pictures we took of our family (on Kevin's side).

Smoke Bombs


This was on Fourth of July. We were setting off smoke bombs and Taylor was having a blast simply running through the smoke and jumping over them.

Purse


This is one of the purses I made for sale at Village Candles and Gifts. I custom make these to order. I sell them for $35 directly, but they are $45 at the store.

"All In" Poker Mini Album


This album was a special order from a lady at Galloway Station. I used a stack of miniature playing cards that I found at the dollar store.

Our Boy Canvas

When we were in Florida on vacation, I stopped by a scrapbook store in Orlando that had several canvas' done. I loved them and as soon as I got home, I decided to make my own. Kevin had this picture of Taylor printed and we were having trouble finding a frame for it, so I saw it laying there and ran with it! I love it, I see many more of these in my future. This one is 18" x 24".

King of the Hoop


Taylor tried his luck at hoola hooping at Rockin' Ribs. He discovered he's pretty good at it and it's fun!

Rocket Power


Taylor got a baking soda and vinegar powered rocket for his birthday. This was the day of the first launch. Somehow I ended up covered in vinegar. What are mothers for?

Little Gym Performance


Dad came with us to the Cardinals game where Taylor's gymnastics team performed. Louie tried to eat Taylor's head!

Ta-da


This was a layout I did for one of his Little Gym performances at Cardinals Stadium. He had his best handstand ever that day!

Rock Star


These pictures of Taylor were taken after he decided to try my makeup on one day when I was getting ready. He thought it looked fun...and hey, he likes to paint...so this was the end result, him looking hilariously funny in blush and eyeshadow! I told him he looked like a Rock Star.

Cart Racing


Our next door neighbor has a go cart that he let Taylor drive around the cul-de-sac.

Gold Mine


We bought Taylor some mining rough at Meramec Caverns. This is him sifting through it and finding the minerals inside.

City Museum



This is a layout that I did of the kids at City Museum in St. Louis. This place is amazing. It is all recycled material that makes it up complete with an underground cave system. They loved it.

My Boy


Taylor loves to climb the rocks at Sequiota Park. This is him doing just that.

Artist


THese are pictures of Taylor and Nik at the corn maze painting their ghourds. They were VERY into it.

Explore


Last fall we brought Nik to the corn maze with us. They had a scavenger hunt and these are the boys as they hunt for clues.

Math Whiz


This is Taylor's easel that at the age of three, he filled with algebraic equations. Needless to say, this year he begins WINGS. :)

Boys Rule


This picture was taken when Taylor was having trouble with his kickstand on his bike. He got out the socket set and went to work.

Play


This was taken at the Japanese Gardens. Taylor saw this statue and just began reinacting Fish out of Water from Chicken Little.

It's Not Art if You Don't Get Dirty


This was taken at Artsfest last year. Taylor dipped his hand in red paint and made a craft. The best part for him of course was just getting messy and acting silly.

Dance Like No one is Watching


This was taken at a Sock Hop during Taylor's Kindergarten year at Field Elementary. He definately has the music in him. He will be starting hiphop this fall.

Discover a New Love


When we went to the French Trading Rendevous at Fort de Chartes in St. Louis, Taylor got this handmade bow and arrow. Grandma Diane bought him the matching quiver and he spent the next few days practicing shotting a target we put on a box in the backyard.
I used one of the Bazzill Cardstock with an edge and mounted it on cardstock and outlined it with a Signo White Pen.

Not Another Haircut

Sometimes we just don't have the time to make it to Cookie Cutters to get Taylor's hair cut when it starts to grow out, so this is a picture of me giving him an in-between cut. He HATES these...and they never turn out that great. But hey, it works. I liked the way this turned out with the dark black as the background against the bright colors

This Place is going to the Dogs

We had tons of pictures from ArtsFest last year, and I noticed that many of them were of Taylor petting the numerous dogs that were roaming around, so I decided to put this page together. I think it worked out nicely.

Themed 6" Scrapbooks




























These books are covered and designed for a specific theme. They are 6"x6" and have 20 pages inside with page protectors. I sell these for $25 - $35 depending on how much goes into the supplies and the time required to put them together. I create new themes each week and these are currently for sale at Candles by Sonia in Galloway (it's connected to Firehouse Pottery). I will also be selling these (along with many other items) at the Fair Grove Heritage Reunion September 29 and 30th. I am also happy to accept custom orders for which there may be a slight additional charge.

















I See Your True Colors

For this layout, I used a bunch of pictures that I had of Taylor doing colorful and artsy things. None of them really warranted a page on their own, but together...how perfect!
I used a variety of lettering in a variety of colors to make the title stand out.
