Day Family

Freebilicious

I started a new section of my blog called “Freebilicious.”  I’ll be posting little do-dads (weird word) there every so often.  For now here are some fun templates for all you Photoshoppers out there.  I created them in CS4 but I’m pretty sure it works on most CS versions.  If anyone has elements and wants to give it a whirl let me know if it works.

Click on the links to download my designs.  Instructions for adding your picture to the template are in one of the layers.  Read and then turn off the layer.  If you are not familiar with layers you might want to read THIS and then if you really want to get all crazy ….watch my texture tutorial HERE.

love notes

While blog hopping one night I found this fantastic idea for Christmas and Valentine’s Day HERE.  I loved the idea so much I created one for my own family with a little twist.  It has been so fun! And we love finding notes in the craziest places.

Here are my templates for you to print if you want to create a Valentine Box of your own!

Note from Mom

Scripture Note and Blank Scripture Note

Love Labels for your Box

Every Monday for FHE we look for other scriptures on LOVE to add to our box and that’s about as much time as my kids can handle;)

Dahl Family

Somehow in about one hour before all light was lost we managed to get in… A large family photo, a parents and spouses photo, grandkids photo, 5-individual families photo, siblings photo and 15- individuals of all the kids!!  It was a finger snapping fest!  Another great family.

The Wise Guys ;)

I love this family.  We had so much fun together and they sure made every pose hilarious.  Just a few years ago I shot Jen and Tristans wedding.  Now a baby on the way and as well as a wedding in a few months at the Grand America for another daughter.  It’s going to be beautiful.  Can’t wait.  The Wise family is a HUGE tennis family and had recently returned from the US Open so they thought it would be fun to take a shot in their matching US Open T-shirts.  Great times ahead for this fun family!!  Next family photo shoot I’ll be calling you guys Grandma and Grandpa!!
