Bookworms (she still does it)

Well, yes, that way too.  But more layouts are in store.  You can peep them quickly here:

Some with more detail are Below plus two extras I still need to post at SiS but you'll get here first:

&

&: I love this one.  It is hybrid (did the paper version first, then layered the digi on top and played around with layering).  The journaling just felt right.

2nd Fiddle Assistant

2nd Fiddle: We get to go and play wedding photographers for a friend's wedding next year.  I get to play second fiddle photographers' assistant.  I'm actually kinda looking forward to it.

I heart your old soul

I heart your old soul: I love the colors and textures to this one.  Almost as much as I love those photos of that adorable child.  I can't wait to have some of him of my own.

Make me Better

Make me Better: So this is what happens when I listen to music and scrapbook at the same time.  But they do all so make me better.

Play Hard 07

Play Hard '07: I LOVE watching the two of them together.  They of course jive because it is all about gaming.  Love how this hybrid layout turned out too.

Sagitarian

Sagitarian: This one started really simple.  Then I went to town on it digitally.  I saw a cute t-shirt that had all these "sagitarian" traits on one side and the sign on the other side.  So I figured I'd go with it.  Lucky you.  Or shall I say lucky me (smile).

The One

The One: You know...I thought this would go a totally different direction.  Not my fave design wise, but the tab in the upper left actually pulls out a whole sheet of journaling.  Blog readers get to be nosey like that:

Some folks will never ever see.  For all the striving and reaching and trying and moving and counting and number crunching you just never see.  Never recognize. Never watch for the writing on the wall.  You get lost.  You are torn.  The minutes. hours, days. months. even the years. They all start adding up. You lose sight of the simplicity. The one sentiment that keeps you grounded.  The one truth that keeps you whole.  The one fact that if you hold on tight enough - hold on a little longer. don't slip. don't give up. Almost. but never. everyday. it is bigger than you. it grows but stays the same. it is you. it is more than even the two of you together. but it is so simple it is lost in the madness. in the crush for more and bigger and more complex. it is. always will be. as it should be. So much more than bank, black cards, cars, salary, years together, years apart, kids had and kids lost, loves before and years of love to come. really. it is smaller even. so much smaller. if you measure in size. small boxes. small if not little sentiments that mean the world. to you. to me. to us. to them. all your life you look for what is found and what is lost. or never had even when held in the palm of your hand. Daily you are reminded yet you don't remember. Yet you never forget either. Never & always. Now and then and even later. Go on and on or stay right here right now.  In the shadow. In the blinding light. In the fog and the myste in the cool, clear, crisp day where it becomes clear all over again.  Be it. In the moment and in the forever. don't deny it when you hear it and try to overanalyze it and over think it to the point of squashing it into tiny pieces. but still whole. Wholesome. Pure. Instant. Indestructible.  Here. Acknowledged but invisible. Everything and nothing at all.  All we need, all we are. deep down. at the core. interconnected. beyond your wildest dreams and most vivid nightmares. But right here. with her. with him. together. with nothing. with it all. in our hands, in our minds. in our souls. And of course. in our {heart}s. One heart. One love. One world. One us. One chance. Once more.
