The first photo was taken Mollie's first year of organized softball and the second was taken this year, her senior year of high school softball. The girls have played together since they were 8 years old. The papers are MME. I stitched flourishes and added a ribbon. The title is from old Thickers that I colored black. The layout was based on a sketch by Jana Eubanks.

This is a photo of Mollie pitching her sophomore year of high school. I have had the papers for at least a year. The look on her face is so intense! The layout was based on a sketch by Liz Chidester.

Another layout inspired by a sketch by the talented Liz Qualman. This is of all three kids at the Twin Falls County Fair in 1997. They were all dressed in the clothes they wore to show sheep. I made the flowers by cutting circles and spraying them with water. Then crumpling them into little balls. I then dried them with my heat embosser. I cut the letters out of chipboard and painted them white and then with red polka dots!

This layout is based on a sketch by Liz Qualman. It is my daughter @ age 4 on a local ski hill. I used Bo Bunny Serenade papers, stitched the circle, used a border punch. I cut the title and snowflakes out with my Cricut and glittered the snowflakes and added pearls. The journaling reads, "Your dad's nickname for you was Bunny. The Title was obvious."

Waiting

This layout of my daughter and nieces circa 1999. The layout is based on a sketch by the talented Liz Qualmann. I was trying to use up more of my stash. I cut the packages out of a variety of scraps and added ribbons and tags. I cut the title and tags with the Cricut and added Sticles. I tied a bow with satin ribbon and added journaling. At that age, the girls were impatient to open their gifts so we diverted their attention by playing Scrabble. My mother-in-law made the matching dresses.

Christmas Joy 2009

My daughter & nieces on Christmas Eve. I was using up some of my stash. I cut the letters and words with my Cricut. I Stickled the word joy gold. I used a poinsettia embellishment and tied a bow with sheer ribbon. This layout was inspired from a Liz Qualmann sketch. These girls have grown into such lovely young women.

I Dig Volleyball

Double page layout from Mollie's junior year of volleyball. I used papers that remind me of the net. It includes the team photo and a number of individual shots and her all conference patch.
