family resemblance

Couldn't resist scrapping a page for Kyle's album showing the resemblance between him and this picture of grandpa. :) Credits: Little Jake Collection and Distressed Photo Edges-Kathryn Balint, Kb and Friends.

Another one.

Yep, I'm on a scrappin' roll! LOL Here's one of Dad and his fiance Joan with the kiddos. These pics were taken a year ago already. Man, where did the time go??? This one was made with my new kit, Blossoming Friendship.

Scrapping some family pics.

I've been trying to get some of the heritage pictures that I got from Grandma Notz scrapped. Wanted to share a few of them here. :)

First up are these pictures of Mom as a child. I used this awesome kit by Kay Eflin called Remember Me Album. Included in the kit is this bonus photo cluster which made this layout SO easy! I also used some of Jen U.'s awesome flowers.

Next is a family photo that I framed and put on the "wall" of this layout. I combined my Grandma Mabel's Parlor kit with Kelly Sauvage's Old Roll-top Desk kit. They worked perfectly together to create this digital room.

And last but not least, how CUTE is this picture of Grandpa Notz as child???? LOVE it! I used a frame from the Little Jake Collection by Kathryn Balint. I'm working on a layout right now using this picture but my computer is being moody and making it a slow process. I'll share it once it's finished.

I don't know if it's just me but I can really see a resemblance between this picture and Kyle at that age. Mostly the shape of the face. Especially through the chin. I sure enjoy scrapping these pictures and wish I had the time to get a copy of ALL of the pictures that my grandparents have. Hopefully this will help to preserve these pictures and family memories for further generations.

Tonight's eclipse.

I snapped a few pictures during the eclipse tonight. Nothing too spectacular but it's fun to try. Here's a progression of the eclipse during the time that I stood outside and froze my butt off! LOL (click on the picture to enlarge)
