Two Gypsy Girls!!

Earlier I posted about two classes I took from the Gypsy Girls.
We always have such a great time with the two of them.

Our great Gypsy Girls posted on their blog about their visit to our town.
Take a peek. They have pictures I don't have.

Then and Now!

This is a layout I created in my Photoshop class with
Jessica Sprague.
She explains it so well and makes it so easy to understand.

Products used:
Sweet Vintage Charms Papers; The Neutrals Paper; Sweet Vintage Charms Add-on Elements by Creativity by Crystal
All Things Bright-Papers-Jessica Sprague; Photo Frames Set 1-Jessica Sprague.

I love these pictures of my son Kameron.
He has always had quite the personality.
He has always had something to say or did something that
has brought much laughter to our lives.

The picture on the right, he was about 3 years. He got a hold of my glasses, broke the arms off, put them on his face and smiled.
He didn't know they were upside down.

The other picture was not too long ago. He found some silly glasses of Mema's, put them on and smiled. This time he had a hat on from In n Out.
So funny, he is doing the same silly thing 5 years later.

I love my classes with Jessica. If you are thinking of trying digital, I would definitely recommend taking classes from her.

Family Photo Shoot with Jocelyn!

We had another photo session with Jocelyn.
This was such a fun shoot.
We got some pictures of the Addi because it was time,
but we didn't have any of our family since she was born.
The last set we did, Shine was on a vacation, so we had to wait til now.

Here's what we got...

Funny Face!!!

Brooklin loves reading the "Hungry Caterpillar" book to Coco, Coco loves to listen and look at the pictures and I love to watch them both.

Little Coco sitting at our feet.

Our latest "above the fireplace family photo wall hanging"

I love these kids so much. I am such a blessed mom.

My sweet Shine!! I love this girl.
She is one amazing teenager.
I tell her all the time,
"You were not born to fit in,
you were born to Shine"
And that she does!!

This is soooo my Shine captured!!

My Adoration!

Adoration's cradle.
Made only for a princess.

During this picture, Addi reached outside the box to the
little yellow flowers in front. She was completely fascinated by them.
Once she spotted them, these shots were done.
We couldn't get her attention any longer.

She's all ready to go.
This is a trunk Rusty Pickle sent to me after me being on their design team.
I knew it had the perfect purpose.
My mom says she's all packed and ready to go to Nashville.
Hmm? American Airlines might have a little problem with that one.

Again, I will say thank you to our FAVORITE photographer Jocelyn!!
Jocelyn, we love you dearly and really feel you are just part of our family.
You allow us to be ourselves and then capture that through the lens.
As I've shared with you, you will always be "our" photographer.
You have grown with our family over the years and been a part of all our family changes, good and bad.
You don't get frustrated during every shoot you have done, our family is either teasing, laughing, crying, or someone getting upset with the other one, as all families do .
You take it in stride and don't get annoyed with us. Well, at least you don't show it to us.
Just as I've said to you since you began photography...
We are your #1 fan!!!
We love you!!
Thanks so much!

Go take a look at Jocelyn's site to look at some more of her amazing work!
You won't regret it!!

Tuesday Tutorial with T!!

It's my turn this week for the Tuesday Tutorial at Scrap Tiffany.
I'm going to show you how to make a gift bag out of an envelope.
They're mini, cute,fun and easy.
Let's get started.

That's it. Pretty easy peasy huh?
Don't forget the many choices of envelopes out there, colored ones, and different sizes. I think it would be so cute to make one with a large manila envelope and decorate it very vintagey(is that a word?hmm?). You can also print on the front from your computer just like you would print normally, but instead of an address, print something cute.
Let me see what you come up with.
Email me a picture of your creation and I'll post them on my blog.
Thanks for stopping by.
