Shutterfly is my Favorite.

5x7 Folded Card

View the entire collection of cards.

Here's a thank you card I made at Shutterfly... it was inspired by one of their cute thank you cards in stationery. I only wanted one, so I had to "re-create" it in their general greeting cards section. I think it turned out so cute!

Twins.

This was such a fun shoot! I got to take a morning to capture PHS senior twins Quinn and Sinclair. It was a great morning around Pullman catching some fun shots.

Thanks ladies for a lovely morning! You're so beautiful--inside AND out!

Headshots

This is my friend Anita. She's a fabulous woman and a great friend.

She needed a new headshot. I met her at our favorite coffee shop (based more on their great photo locations versus their coffee :) and took a few fun photos.

Isn't she just beautiful?

Miles.

So... these were his 6 month photos. He turns ONE in just a few weeks.

I still remember this day, though. His big brown eyes were irresistable to shoot! :)

Love my sweet nephew!

Tour de Photos-- First up, Lana!

Part of the reason I haven't consistently been blogging is because I was filling my free time with another thing I love-- photography.

The time has come (now that all is edited and stored) for me to share shots from the shoots I've done over the past 6 months. I'll post my favorites... not necessarily the favorites of those in the shots. :)

So buckle up, and prepare to set forth on a chronological journey of my portraiture I've done since I finished my class last spring (I blogged about that class here.) I'll put up several posts of photography over the next few weeks.

First up, my sweet niece Lana. Here's my favorite shots from her 2 year old photo shoot in June. Aren't her blonde curls and sweet smile irresistable? And she and her mama Shelle are so sweet together, too.

I adore you.

I really do adore this girl. And I was so excited to use the My Minds Eye "Lost and Found Two" line because it fit with my photos just perfectly.

This was my favorite layout using the products. You can see more projects I did with it at the Paper Pals Design Team blog!

New Space to Make My Own

Yeah, I haven't been here lately... blogging has been pushed to the back burner after I added 30+ hours of work per week a few months ago. But I still think/act upon some crafty impulses and want to share them here!

I wanted to decorate my office. I found a Bazzill paper line that was just adorable and so I created a few items for the office.

Mod Podged some pattern paper onto canvases...

I dotted the red centers with Stickles and painted the sides of the canvas black too.

 Created a LOVE banner w/ photos of my family...

And add a few coordinating accessories... voila! A cozy, personalized office space.

And when I got my nameplate and biz card, it truly felt official! :)

Love my workspace, and love my job. Only downside: restricts my blogging time. :) I'll still try to visit once in awhile. So don't assume I'm gone!
