CT LO - Family

We went to our yearly family reunion on Sunday, August 19th. Of course I just had to get more pictures of everyone. Pictures are of my nieces, Emmy, Abby, and Hanna. Boy on bottom left is my son Dakota and next to him is my husbands father Martin. There was so much good food there that I didn't eat for the rest of the day, I was just way too stuffed lol.
This kit is from Mel, she rawks with her kits don't ya think? I know I think so, just look how good it made my layout look, and all those fun colors!!! Gotta luv that! Stop by her store and pick up a copy to use, her link is below.

My First CT Layout - Funny Face

I applied for a CT/DT call last week. I got my email back letting me know that I had been accepted!!! I was overjoyed, excited, thrilled, just to say the least lol. I was about to jump out of my chair when I read that email, I even had to read it twice just to make sure that I was seeing clearly. I just couldn't believe that someone liked my work enough to let me be a designer with them, along with being their CT member too. So as soon as she sent me the first kit to work with I couldn't wait to get busy lol. This is the first one that I did for the CT. It's of my niece Abby. She has this thing where she likes to cross her eyes and make funny faces now and just had to have her picture taken with her doing that. I thought it made for a really cute and natural layout. Of course her Auntie Chris thinks her Abbykins is all that and no matter what face she makes, she will always be a doll baby to me.

ASDR Challenge 10 - Satisfaction

My Favorite Place

I enjoy going to the lake alot. It's the one place
I seem I be able to relax the most at.
It's so peaceful and calm there.
The only sounds you hear are the water, wind,
and the birds.I like to just sit and enjoy the sounds of nature
that you don't hear when you live in the city.

I take my family to this lake alot to take some pictures,
it makes for some very nice photos if you are into
the scenic things.

You can take a boat out onto the lake during certain
times that they have posted. If I had a boat, I would be
on the water all the time. I just love the nature and the water.
It smells so fresh and clean out at the lake and away from
the city life.

ASDR Challenge 8 - Girl Talk

Wording:

Girl TalkThe person I talk most with on the phone is Kelly.
We talk about scrappin' and our kids.
When I was a teen I used to always be on the phone talking
with all my friends that I hung out with at school.
We would mostly talk about boys or kids we didn't like.
Now that I am past the teen stages my phone conversations have changed.
It's not about boys or kids that I don't like anymore.
Now it's about the daily happenings in our life
or hobbies that we have.
I enjoy talking to Kelly, she always brings a smile to my face
when I'm having a bad day. If I'm not around online,
she's calling to make sure that I'm ok.
So it's not just about "Girl Talk", it's about Girl Friends too.
Thank you Kelly for all the great "Girl Talks"
and for always being a great friend.

My Sassy Gurl

I Love My Nieces to Pieces

Emmy, Abby, and Hanna, my special little nieces.

You always have such beautiful smiles on your faces
when you see me walk up the walk. You always come
running to me yelling Aunt Chris Aunt Chris, and then
I grab you all and put my arms around you and give
you all the biggest hug.
I've watched you grow from little bitty babies and
now two of you are in grade school already. Where did
the time go? You three girls will always hold a special
place in my heart.
You are Aunt Chris's precious little nieces.

I love you bunches,
Aunt Chris

ASDR Challenge 7 - From This Day Forward

My partner and I were to swap photos that were on a paper,
and then each of us was to finish the other one's layout.
I did a two page layout because we were supposed to use 10 or more pictures in the layout.
