Final Pages...
It's complete. The photos below are of the final pages belonging to the mini album that is selling as a kit at the The Scrapbook Oasis on National Scrapbook Day. My next project is writing instructions and organizing photos for the instructions. Once that task is done, I get to start working on some personal scrapbook projects. There's been a lot I've been wanting to record about my life over these last few months via scrapbooking. I've experienced many changes, both good and bad. My goal is to make more time for personal work and to capture the authentic story that is my life. I feel like I've lost touch with that lately. I need to revisit that place.
Just for fun...a few kitty photos. I used some new Photoshop actions on these photos. I picked them up at Brenda's new Photoshop Action website. You can find it: HERE. Her two color pop actions are beautiful, user friendly, and have great results. I was really impressed with the actions after trying them out (and trust me, I've tried a lot of actions in the last few months). I really like these actions because they're practical, affordable, and adjustable. They're also good at preserving skin tone, which is one of my biggest pet peeves when working with color boost actions. Here are some photos I altered with one of her color boost actions:
Here's a before and after shot using Brenda's "Vibrant Color" action: 
a beautiful mini album and the pictures of the kitty and your son are just gorgeous :)
looking forward to trying to get the album kit.

The little kittens are just so cute! But even cuter is your baby. He is just too precious!

Christine,
Been a long time lurker! Coming out of that mode today to tell you that you SO inspire me! Our scrapping styles are totally different - but I adore your work. You are one of those people that just exudes goodness. In your work and in who you are. Just love your blog. Stay strong and I can't wait to see your more personal scrapbooking projects. Expressing who I am, where I've been, and where I want to go in life is so important to me and my creative process. It will be good for you to get that stuff out on paper.
Peace and love to you!
