Round One: Interview

heres mine
question was: What is your fondest memory?

very cute Terri, love the pennants

Great design Terri and a fun page! (That would be a scary memory for me..LOL!) I love the penants too!

love the great design and fun colors on Marthas and what a cutie. The pennants rock on Terri's and love that paper you used

I chose greatest accomplishment: my children this just being the last. So sorry the picture is not great, it is raining and dark and no chance that it is going to clear up. I will try to replace it when I can.

Kim, love the black and white papers and that red is so HOT!
Terri, love the little banners and what a memory.
Martha, very cheerful, love the techniques used on the photo.

Ooooo, very pretty!! I love the pink on the black background! So how many children do you have??

great color choice on this, the pink and black look good together, very nice distressing as well, what a great page Shana

I finished mine yesterday and just finished uploading it to Photobucket. I wish you could have seen the photo before I used Photoshop to clean the photo to the point where you could see it! The original photo is totally black! When DH took the photo, he didn't use a flash. All I could see was a black image! I didn't want to lose whatever was on that photo before time also took its toll. An hour and a half later, this is all I could get. It's the best I could get - but I got it - as bad and washed out as it is. This is DS just hours after he was born.

This LO covers two interview questions - My greatest accomplishment (It took us seven years to conceive and we never conceived again. He's my miracle.)
My greatest challenge (DS was so much "fun" to raise, LOL. DH and I had to stay on our toes every second of every day to stay just one step ahead of him! He kept us young and exhausted! I wouldn't change a second of it as it made him who he is today - a successful man and husband.)



This is the photo before I Photoshopped it. I can't believe I was able to get what I got!

Martha, I absolutely love your LO! I love the design and the colors! It's really hard to photograph yellow well, and you managed to get it right on! Tell me how you did it? My yellows always look horrid!

Terri, the LO is wonderful! I love the clean lines and the photo of the plane is great! What a special memory to capture and scrap. I love the feeling that your LO gives - free!

Shana - great moment to document! I love the arrangement of photos as well as the grouping of strips! You did a wonderful job, too!

Goooooooooooooo girls!

The one in the pics just turned one today, she is the baby. I also have a 5 g, 8g, 16 b, 20 stepg, and 16 b exchange student.

That's awesome Shana! We had 5 kids. Adults now but I love that we chose to have a big family.


Chris, I love what you can do with Photo Shop! What a precious photo to rescue! And such a beautiful LO!!

My LO is digi so I didn't have to photograph it, makes it easier to get those yellows right

Thanks for the info, Martha! It looks amazing and I didn't know it was a digi. It looks wonderful! Gotta love that yellow! Good luck to you!

Wow! what awesome layouts ladies... I think they are all GREAT! I sure enjoyed looking at them. Good luck to all.

I'm already out of the contest due to having the nasty H1N1 virus, but I can't tell you all how much I enjoyed looking at each of the layouts this morning. They are beautiful!

ohhh hope you feel better and soon
