Happy Birthday MOM

My sisters and I took Mom to Joslyn Castle for her birthday as a surprise. However there was a surprise for us as my Aunt Joan from Louisiana showed up.

It was a GREAT surprise.

I was so happy Aunt Joan could be here with us to celebrate Mom's birthday.

Happy Birthday Rogene

We went to the Zoo for Rogene's birthday. It was a day full of FUN.

Hands

Recently I took a picture of hands, they were a grandmother, mother, daughter and younger daughter. I loved how the picture turned out. It was like the grandmother was comforting the younger women. I decided to take one of my family.
This is the one I took of my mother and sisters and my younger niece. Again, I just love how it came out.

Something new

I learned how to keep some of the picture color and change the rest to Black and white.. So cool.

Missing those summer mornings

Photography

I love taking pictures. One of the reasons I started scrapbooking was to showcase the photos I like. Below are some pictures I have had some opportunity to take. I love that they are not the traditional studio pictures. I hope you enjoy them as much as I do.

See You Later

Today, We said "See you Later" to my Brother-In-Law.

May God keep him safe.

Celebrate

I made this card for a Birthday, however it could easily be changed to Celebrate Freedom. My brother-in-law is being deployed in 1 week from today.

Please keep him in your thoughts and prayers.

Dreams

I really like this bird stamp, so many things you can do with it. (stamp set 'A Tweet' page 40).
I used the new stamp set 'Live Inspired' for the saying (page 23 in the summer book).
And the colors and paper from the paper pack 'Splendor' (page 14 in the Summer Book).

This card was made using the "Originals" Program. (found on page 6 in the Summer Book)
