digital layout class
3. digital layout class  (April 24, 2007)
Several months ago, I was talking with my young friend, Willie, and I said, "You're one of my favorite people! In fact, I think I'll make a scrapbook about my favorite people, and you're gonna be the first one in it."

Recently, I decided to take a digital scrapbooking class online, and I knew immediately what album I'd start. Thanks, Willie. :)

Ira
9. Ira  (February 23, 2006)
This is a book about faith.
A book about love.
A book about people the world over who pray for a little boy whom most of us have never met.
A book of prayers and dreams and hope.
This is a book about Ira.
This is a book about faith.

How Stacy Got her Groove Back
10. How Stacy Got her Groove Back  (February 3, 2006)
These are the layouts I submitted to the 2006 Creating Keepsakes Hall of Fame contest. I didn't win - not even an Honorable Mention - but I love the pages I created and the creative boundaries that I stretched. And that's what matters most, right? (Although, that $500 prize woulda been mighty nice. lol!)

Just In Case You Ever Wonder
18. Just In Case You Ever Wonder  (August 20, 2002)
This uses the text from Max Lucado's book, "Just In Case You Ever Wonder". I changed one word...instead of canyons, I used oceans, because that's what I had a photo of! Of the dozens of albums I've done, thiis is my favorite. It was a gift to my daughter when her first brother was born! Max Lucado is - and always has been - my very favorite Christian author. Please, if you use his text, purchase the book!

ABC album for Aidan
19. ABC album for Aidan  (January 8, 2003)
This is the album I made for Aidan, Christmas 2002. The ABC blocks were inspired by Melissa Gentry's Block Talks. Aidan loves to look at his book and name all the pictures! There's still some empty space that we'll fill up eventually....and if anybody has a sticker for 'X' - I'm not too proud to beg for it. haha!

Manitoba or Bust!
21. Manitoba or Bust!  (August 13, 2004)
Our dear, dear Internet Friend, Donna in MB, was diagnosed with stage 4 pancreatic cancer in May of this year. When we got the news, we were devestated. Donna is the most talented person we've ever known. She's warm, funny, honest, level-headed, wise, and REAL. Even though we'd never met in person, we consider Donna a close friend, and we were desperate to help her. In August, we decided to DO it instead of TALK about it. With Darren along to make sure our carsickness didn't get the better of us (Sherilyn and I are both notorious for carsickness), we dubbed ourselves Thelma, Louise and Brad Pitt. We hit the road in Texas, and 1300 miles and 34 hours later, we were at her side. Here is our journey.

This is our new house!! We still can't believe it's ours. GOD IS GOOD, ALL THE TIME. ALL THE TIME, GOD IS GOOD!
We moved in the first full weekend of May 2004. Come on in and take a tour!

The first group of pics is the house as the former owners lived in it. They are the pics we took when we first looked at the house. As we continue to renovate and redecorate, we'll keep posting pictures, so check back!

PLEASE SIGN THE GUESTBOOK! We'd love to know who's been here!

My Scrap Room
23. My Scrap Room  (February 18, 2005)
This is my Scrap Room. It's tiny...about 8x8. Since this is "my space" and no one else's, I filled it with my favorite things....words! I spend a lot of time in this room, working on my family's albums and also on albums for clients, so I wanted it to be a room that makes me happy and calm. I also needed it to be organized and functional It does and it is! Come on in, and enjoy the tour!

Dani is our beautiful daughter. For almost 10 years, she was our only, but it's clear to us now that she was born to be a big sister! Her brothers adore her, and vice versa. Dani makes us proud, every day and every way.

Ian's 1st Year
27. Ian's 1st Year  (2002)
Ian Kyle was born 11 months and 21 days after Aidan! He was a huge surprise, but such a happy one. Before getting PG with Aidan, I had asked God, "If you bless me with another child, please bless me with two more." A selfish wish, but one He granted. When I prayed it, I was thinking twins...ha! Ya gotta be careful what you pray for! BTW, Ian is our last baby. The factory is closed!

ANNIVERSARIES
28. ANNIVERSARIES  (October 10, 2002)
I haven't done any of the online journaling yet - these are all pages from my Anniversary Album, which I started when Darren surprised me with a secret getaway trip to Salado, Texas. That was our 8th Anniversary, and we've continued the tradition every year since, taking turns planning a surprise getaway!

Cleveland
29. Cleveland  (September 2003)
This is the long weekend trip we took to see our dear friends, Gheath and Kristin. Darren and I scrapped most of it at a Croptoberfest event in October, and Stacy finished up the loose ends in early December when Sherilyn came for a week-long scrap marathon! This is a gift album for the Alatrashes for Christmas!

Dani made this album in 5th grade for a school project. She was supposed to choose any subject that interested her and do any type of report on it that she wanted. She chose the history of our town, and decided to make a scrapbook for her report! I love it!

Paris
32. Paris  (Jan 2002)
This was a surprise trip from my DH! He gave me the news while I was still in the hospital after delivering our 3rd baby! It was a wonderful trip, even tho I suffered from strep throat & a double ear infection while there. Darren did all the cropping on these pages & I did the layouts. We had a blast reliving our memories & will probably continue the tradition of scrapping our vacations together. This is only about 1/4 of the book. I will scan the rest and upload someday. (lol)

SCRAPBOOK UNDER CONSTRUCTION:
In July 2000, while Stacy was pregnant with Aidan, she flew to Reno for Creative Memories National Convention, and from there, on to Seattle to visit her brother, Rodney, and his family. Meanwhile, up in the mountains of New Mexico, Darren and Dani were making their way to the summit of Santa Fe baldy, over 12,500 feet! This is their story, as scrapbooked by Darren himself....

GREAT AMERICAN ROAD TRIP - Our vacation in the summer of 2002. We started in Fort Worth, Texas and drove over 4000 miles, stopping to see the sights in South Dakota, Wyoming and Colorado. We left our baby boys with Grandpa and Grandma, and allowed Dani to invite 2 friends on our trip. We had a blast! Here are the 60+ scrapbook pages detailing every mile.

SAN FRANCISCO
38. SAN FRANCISCO  (Sept. 1998/March 2000)
The first 8 pages are from our first trip to San Francsico - the one where I decided I WOULD go back someday. We were only there for one day that trip. 18 months later, Darren went on a business trip and took me along. While he was in conference in Redwood City, I drove into San Francisco and played! It was my first solo adventure and I had a blast. We'd spend the evenings together, either in the city or in the general Bay area. San Francisco remains my favorite city, even after seeing Paris!

Part of the reason we went to Europe, other than to spend our anniversary in Paris, was to visit our good friends, Sherilyn and Corey, who had recently moved to The Netherlands. We had a great time! I'd love to go back and see Holland with all the flowers in bloom.
