About Me
I'm a freelance editor, writer and photographer. I picked up cardmaking as an art hobby more than 25 years ago. That led to scrapbooking, but really took off when digital scrapbooking software started popping up on the market. Thanks to PixelScrapper, I have honed my design skills and do some small design jobs for hire, along with my regular editing and writing. I live in the beautiful state of Montana where I work from home and volunteer for a local non-profit called the Dylan Steigers Concussion Project. I also teach water aerobics at our local Women's Club. (Otherwise, I might sit on the couch all day designing!). Besides a passion for photography, I love sports, flyfishing, cardmaking, gardening, and walking. My goal is to try to learn a new technique or enhance existing ones every month so I can give back to this wonderful community of scrapbookers through the PS blog trains.

Digital Scrapbook LayoutDescription
These photos, taken as our family was holding vigil at my mother-in-law's bedside, has been waiting for a special color palette for a page to be done, and the Autumn Art blog train did the trick. Halloween was her favorite holiday (though I argue that it really was Christmas!), and my niece insisted on carving pumpkins for Grandma's final Halloween to honor her. I purposely did not use any of my Autumn Art kit, but instead, tried to use elements from as many different blog train kits as possible. Thanks to these designers for the awesome papers and elements in this layout: Dancing Tiger Designs, Kerry Dempsey, Sheila Reid, Scrumptiously, MeOhMy Scraps, Day Dreams N Designs, and Sunshine Inspired Designs. This is for the Autumn Art blog train layout challenge.

What a great pumpkin!!
Julie, this is GORGEOUS. These blog trains keep getting more beautiful. Absolutely love this layout.
That sunset photo is amazing and so symbolic of your mother-in-laws last days. I really like all the textures you used also.
Steal away, Caileigh; I'm flattered. DigitalScrapbook.com is a generous community that way. Besides, scraplifting is how we all get better at what we do! Thank you all for your compliments.
I love the 'autumn the original art'! Plus I'm a HUGE Disney fan, so I love pretty much everything about this page! (I hope it's OK if I steal your 'original art' thing...)
wow! that is one huge pumpkin!
Beautiful!
