Photoshop templates

I cannot say this enough...I LOVE TEMPLATES! This is a free template from Ali Edwards that she posted on her blog. I made a couple of small changes here there...I like the simplicity of it.

5th grade field trip

I remember my 5th grade field trip like it was yesterday. When you grow up in a small town, you're very limited on museums. By the time you're 10, you've seen it all...twice. For our field trip, we hopped on our bikes and went on a 3 mile bike ride through Dry Fork Canyon to "Remember the Maine" park. (Of course everyone wanted a BMX bike, especially after the movie "Rad") Safety on field trips wasn't a word that really existed in 1985, especially in rural Utah. We had so much fun though :)

On Wednesday, I got to be a chaparone for Braden's 5th grade field trip. I forgot about the lack of leg room on a bus and how loud it can get. We went to the Halle Heart Center in Tempe and then to Kiwanis park for lunch. It was great and it was so much fun to watch B interact with his classmates.
This was our little group...they are all such good kids. This picture cracks me up! The way the girls are huddled up to one side...they don't want to get any boy cooties:)

And the sweet, polite little things called me Mrs. Hammond...I swear I will never get used to that.

I think this was their favorite part of the day...playing tag

RV adventures project

I've been wanting to create a scrapbook of all the RV trips we took last year. We had so much fun and I knew if I didn't document it soon, I would forget the places and the fun things we did. I loved each of those trips and I hope our kids remember them.

I made a 4x6 journaling card in Photoshop for each trip we took. I printed the cards and pictures out at Costco and put them into this photo album I found at Target.

Here's a list of the digital stuff I used for the journaling cards. Designer Digitals is having their quarterly sale right now, everything is 30% off:

Happy Valentine's Day!

this years Valentine's

I like Valentine's Day. I like any holiday where there is candy involved. (that's pretty much all of them)

I found these Valentine cards here.(Thanks for the link Karin) I just love them! I went into Photoshop and added their names, cut them out and rounded the edges with my Corner Chomper (thanks AJ, I love it!) The kids wanted to give out salt water taffy...cinnamon taffy is the best!

I'm so glad to have all the evil candy out of my house...it's for the best

Took this yesterday in our front yard...I can't even tell you how much I love AZ in February
