MDS Monday's challenge for this week was to use watercolor on our project.  I chose to use the freeform tool to create my watercoloring.  I created 3 layers with different opacities and layered them onto each other.   I used spring colors hoping it will help get through this cold and snowy winter!  Hurry up, Spring!

Happy New Year (a little late!)

I really been remiss with my blog lately!  Let's just say 2013 was not the best year of my life and leave it at that.  I'm trying to put it all behind me and hoping for a great 2014!

I made a page for MDS Monday 47 last week and was pretty happy with it.  But when I went to blog it and enter it in the challenge....internet was down!  And I forgot to go back and take care of it!  I decided I would go ahead and show it here anyway.

And, of course, my subject is my VERY FAVORITE (and only!) granddaughter.  Until she came along most of my scrapbooking was of my cats!  But this little girl is so much more fun!  Christmas was much more fun this year.  Last year she was only 11 days old.  So Grammy had a good time buying gifts this year.

Thanks for stopping by!

My granddaughter turned ONE last week!  She did really well at her party....opening gifts, entertaining the guests and really enjoying her smash cake!

This sketch from MDS Monday really fit the bill to show off several pics of the occasion.

Thanks for stopping by!

Another great sketch at MDS Monday!  I'm thinking maybe I need to use those shades with the bright colors of this layout!  I had a hard time getting these photos.  She kept trying to take the glasses off.  LOL!

I love layouts with several photos because I take lots of photos, especially of my beautiful granddaughter.  This sketch from MDS Monday fit the bill.  Even then I had to pick out the 5 best ones!  It is getting hard to get really good photos these days as this 10 month-old girl is constantly moving....walking all over the place. So while she was sitting at the table I was able to get some good shots.

Thanks for stopping by!

For the sketch this week at MDS Monday I used some more photos from our last visit with our granddaughter and our daughter.

When I went to the post to get the link for this challenge, I realized that I had forgotten that most of the page was supposed to be neutral colors.  So I went back to my MDS program and reworked the page to fit the specifications for the challenge.  Below is my original page.  I really liked how it turned out and it is the one I will actually use in my photobook when I get it printed.
