Beauty: This was the very first layout I ever did with only ONE picture. This is my absolute favorite picture of Natalie just minutes after she was born, taken through the nursery window at the hospital by Telah. That is John's hand on her back, and I tear up just looking at it now. This picture deserved a page all it's own.
My Daughter's Eyes: At the beginning of this year is when I discovered the online world of scrapbooking. There was a new site that started up in January called Scrapjacked. They take a well known scrapbooker, find a page they like and lift it. Ali Edwards was the very first person to be "jacked" and this is my lift of her page. It was the beginning of my love for scrapbook challenge blogs.
Automatic Bond: If you're a parent you know how much having a child changes your life. And you know how instantly you can feel such a deep, deep love.
Simplicity: This picture was taken on Father's Day, and though it may look staged, it wasn't. We were out on the porch taking some group photos and I just happened to catch this one in between group shots.
Miss You: This picture is the last one I took of our MeMaw. It was taken in June at my brother-in-laws wedding. She passed away in September. We miss her sweet smile and loved her so much.
Seek the Lord: My primary job and goal as a mother is to teach my children to love God and always put him first in their lives. I pray every day that I accomplish that as they grow.
Mother. May I: Another one that carries the same general thought as the previous layout. The journaling is talking to Natalie about the kind of mother I hope I'll be. Plus I just love these pictures of her.
Spider Baby: This is just a fun one, that I actually completed in about 15 minutes. I was trying the technique of putting stickers down, painting over it, and then removing the stickers. Just love the bright colors humor in this one.
Beautiful: Not much to say about this one that's not already said in the layout itself. Another moment I was so glad I caught with the camera.
Believe: This is one of the last layouts I did for this year, just shortly after we found out we're having another baby. It is such a blessing to have another child on the way after at one time thinking we may never be able to have children.There you have it! It's been such a long time since I've had some pages in a post. The thought of scrapbooking isn't making me feel sick anymore. I have to say that was the weirdest 1st trimester side effect of them all. :) So hopefully I'll have lots of new pages to share in 2008.

Wow your lay out are so gorgeous ,great work ,Dawnx
Your LO's wonderful - thanks for sharing them with us!
I loved your lay outs, but the one that amazed me was your 15 minute spider baby post. WOW! In 15 minutes? Was that an air brush over the words spider baby? And how did you do all of those flower squares? I don't do any scrapping, however, I always look at it longingly. I don't have a space at this house that I can use for projects, so I just paint on my walls. Lol! The creativity just needs to come out somewhere. Congratulations on the new baby! I have been absent from the blogging world with pc problems for months, but it is good to be back. I enjoyed your blog then and am enjoying it again.
All very nice LO's! My fav is Beauty...I can't believe that was your first one pic!
I see you've been having fun with your camera. Love all the pics!
Hope you have a Scrappy New Year!!!
