Pure Joy
There is nothing better than an unstaged photograph with a genuine smile of pure joy. I have always loved this photo of Lily swinging. She is such an outgoing little girl with a passion for life.

KATE
There is nothing cuter than a chubby little baby in a swim suit! These are some of my favorite photos of my little Kate last summer. The older kids were running through the sprinklers, and she was happy sitting in the grass and watching all of the excitement. I love color photos, and I love BRIGHT photos that pop, and Carolee's has no shortage of beatuiful bright products to coordinate with my vivid photos!

Last spring, we finally bought a little four-wheeler for our son. He is 100% boy. Since we live on a farm, there is plenty of space for him to ride around. Sometimes...this can be scary! Within the first 5 minutes of his very first ride, he hit a fence and went over the handle bars into the canal (luckily it was early enough in spring, that there was no water in it yet!). I think it taught him a quick lesson. We adjusted the throttle so that it can only reach a certain speed, and now, he loves to ride it everywhere. I was so excited when I first saw the dirt track collection from Carolee's Creations! The products fit perfect with all of the fun photos I have of Russell on his four wheeler!

I am so excited about our Guest Blogger this week! She is very inspirational and the fun part she paper scraps and digi scraps! Her photography is beautiful and her blog is always a regular one I read. Here's Sherelle...
Hello! My name is Sherelle Christensen, and I am a 28 year old stay-at-home mother of four children. The impressive thing about these four children, is that they were all born in a five year time period. My two youngest daughters are Irish Twins (which means they are less than one year apart). So as you can imagine, my life is CRAZY and stressful, but a lot of fun. My family is my pride and joy. I am married to my best friend, David, who is a farmer. We grow potatoes and grain, and we LOVE the lifestyle that farming provides for us. There is no better place to raise children than on a farm. We enjoy camping, fishing, working in the yard, road trips and spending time together. When I'm not busy wrangling children or working around the house and yard, I enjoy photography, sewing, art and of course, scrapbooking! I have been lucky enough to turn this hobby into a job that I am able to do from home. I serve on several amazing design teams, and I was also a member of the Creating Keepsakes Hall of Fame in 2006. I enjoy the creative outlet, but most of all, I enjoy getting memories recorded for my children. I am so excited to be working with some of the beautiful products at Carolee's Creations. I have always been a fan of their products, and I had so much fun creating items for the blog! If you want to find out more about me, my family and my scrapbooking, please visit my BLOG.
“Love” This is my husband – we have been together 10 years now and I love him just as much now as I did then, if not more. The Sentiments on the Love paper were just perfect for my layout!! I hand cut the flowers out and machine stitched the papers to ensure the feel I wanted for the layout.

Unfortunately my week has come to an end. I've had a wonderful time working with Adornit - Carolee's Creations and their awesome products. I love all the different themes, styles and versatility they offer. For my last project I created a layout about me. I love the fun pattern of the Dazzled paper and the how the Scarlet Love coordinates with my shirt. I used the Fanciful Words to cut-out words that described me. Look at how the black floral ribbon matches the design on my shirt. By combining these products I was able to create a layout that shows my wild, fun-loving side. I hope you've had a fun week and enjoyed the ideas you've seen here. Take care and happy creating!!

Don't forget ribbon is the perfect accent for your cards, and Adornit - Carolee's Creations has lots of styles and sizes to choose from.
