Little Bendito

I love having someone else take pictures of my babies because most of the time they are much better and more creative than I am! Since my super duper talented sister in law Emily doesn't live here anymore, I thought all was lost until my friend Chante told me about her photographer Kristin! She was so good and had all the props and ideas too. I didn't have to do a thing but watch her expertise!

Here's Ben at 2 weeks old. If you like what you see, you can see more of Kristin's work here!

Shhhh. Don't tell Steve he doesn't have sunscreen on.

Benjamin Kent Nelson

It's almost been a year since I last blogged, but I thought I should announce the arrival of our baby boy! He was born March 30th and weighed 9 lbs 9 oz. He was 21 1/4 in long. Everything went well and we are all doing great! I apologize for taking so long to get this announcement out!

I'm on a roll!

These pictures are from almost a year ago. Digital Scrapbooking is so easy and quick! (Well, with the tutorials.)

Another one

I had to have one of Alyssa. I'm loving this!

Second Layout!

Here's the one I made tonight! I look forward to these classes all day!

My First Digital Layout

I'm taking an online class on digital scrapbooking using adobe photoshop. I love it!! Here is my first layout. I've actually created this layout 3 times in the past 3 years (I keep forgetting how to do it!) but now I'm hooked and I'm taking more lessons to expand what little I already know so I can keep up with it. It's so fun!



By the way, the class I'm taking is a video tutorial, self-paced class found on Jessicasprague.com. It's her beginning class called up and running. After I complete this one, I plan on taking her other 2 more advanced classes. She makes it so easy!
