Snow

If you have been following the news you know that Seattle is getting pounded with snow (by Seattle standards anyway).  This is also the first time our dog, Cassandra Anne (aka Cassie), has seen snow.  She is a Chinook Dog.  She was bred to be a sled dog, hence she loves the snow.  I made this page after our first adventure outside in the snow a couple of days ago.

Digital Scrapbooking: From Awful to Amazing

I think this is my favorite page that I have made to date.  It is a picture that my mom took at my nephew's Christmas Program.  It was a horrid picture (love you mom) taken from very far away and on super zoom.  This picture was really the only one that captured what the season of Christmas is all about and Jonas's excitement surrounding the season.  The picture was dark and when cropped and "cleaned" up it still was very grainy.  After some playing around this is the end result.

This is the original picture:

Pretty darn good if I do say so myself.  If you have pictures like this and need help scrapbooking them, look at Heavenly Expressions Digital Design for help.  Make an investment in your memories.

4 year old birthday

My nephew Jonas was born at 31 1/2 weeks.  He truly is a miracle baby.  It is hard to believe that he turned 4 years old this past October.  Happy Birthday Jonas!!!

Christmas Play-Doh

This past year my grandpa died, so my mom invited my grandma to come stay with her and my dad.  My sister, who lives close to them, and my nephew got to spend lots of time with her.  In these pictures my nephew is teaching great-grandma how to play with play-doh.  What a special way to spend the day.  Both are loving every minute of it.  Thanks to my mom for the pictures.

New Year, New Venture

So, the designer that I was working with and creating layouts for has decided to call it quits. So, now I am up in the air with regards to products. That coupled with the stressful time I had getting my books printed at Costco this Christmas has really gotten me thinking that there has to be something out there for me to do. Then the manager at Costco tells my husband when he returns $200 worth of books because they were printed wrong that I should be doing this for a living. Then my sister tells me she has no time to do her own scrapbook and could I help her out....so....I have decided to give it a go. I am going to open

While I don't have all the details worked out yet (such as a reliable place to get bound books and the whole tax thing), I have made a facebook page to get me started.

https://www.facebook.com/pages/Heavenly-Expressions-Digital-Scrapbook-Design/350467531646076

Please go to the page and let me know what you think. I am still designing business cards and trying to get the color just right.

In the next few days I will be sharing some layouts that I have done for my sister (and yes, she is getting the family discount aka free).

In the meantime I am still looking for another product designer to work with creating layouts and will let you know when I find them.
