I love to look at the beautiful layouts that are featured in the newsletter, get tips on how the artists did certain elements in their layouts and read the great muses and tutorials that are featured in the daily newsletter. If you are looking for some Scrapping inspiration, I encourage you to sign up for the free newsletter. You can find out more about it <a href="http://www.scrapgirls.com/Newsletter3.htm">here</a>.<br />
<br />
I was so excited, as I read through today's newsletter to see one of my layouts featured - my very first as a Creative Design Team member. I am over the moon with excitement! You can find today's newsletter, <a href="http://www.scrapgirls.com/NL/Chit_Chat_100816_Mon_AmandaS.htm">here</a>.<br />

When I started digital scrapbooking, a few years ago, I consider myself blessed to have found a great community to be apart of right from the start. I lurked around <a href="http://www.scrapgirls.com/">Scrap Girls</a> for a little while, admiring all of the talented designers, layout artists team members and digi-scrappers that belonged to that community. Looking back now, at that time, I would have considered myself more of a digital scrapbook collector, than a digital scrapbooker. Though, once I got over my fear of actually designing digital scrapbook pages - there was no stopping me. I love using all of the wonderful creations from the talented designers to tell my families story. It's important to me to capture those images and memories, so they can be treasured for years to come.<br />
<br />
And now the exciting news:<br />
I am so excited to be able to share that I am now apart of the talented group of layout artist team members at Scrap Girls. I join a great group of digi-scrappers. I have admired their layouts for so long, they are very talented. When I got the email yesterday, sharing the news that I had been selected to join the team - I jumped with excitement. A dream of mine has come true.<br />
<br />
So, you are going to see a lot more layouts from me here on the blog. I will be sure to share more information about what products I used to design my page. And if you are interested to learn more about digital scrapbooking, I would love for you to join me over at Scrap Girls.Heatherhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14451800338702802062noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5605472881396664526.post-49829137759659070682010-07-17T23:51:00.001-04:002010-09-03T15:49:23.627-04:00A couple more pagesI'm just a scrapping fool lately and I LOVE it!

Be sure to visit, <a href="http://www.messmerphotonews.com">www.messmerphotonews.com</a> to take a look. If you come by, I would love for you to leave a comment (or two).<br /><br />Have a great day!<br />HeatherHeatherhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14451800338702802062noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5605472881396664526.post-39206210218508860052010-03-20T22:29:00.004-04:002010-05-20T13:30:11.388-04:00Enjoyed the first day of springWe had a great day! This morning, Jayson and I did some spring cleaning around the house. And this afternoon, we took the girls to the park and enjoyed the first day of spring. The girls had a BLAST, playing and running around. <br />
<br />
Hunter enjoyed climbing around on the play sets and going down the slides. She doesn't care for the swings much. <br />
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_wGxMsI4ozOk/S6WH7g1BGnI/AAAAAAAACeE/HcJV2BQ9H60/s1600-h/DSC_0561.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5450912380496190066" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_wGxMsI4ozOk/S6WH7g1BGnI/AAAAAAAACeE/HcJV2BQ9H60/s1600/DSC_0561.jpg" style="cursor: pointer; height: 272px; width: 400px;" /></a><br />
<br />
And though it looks like she is either in pain or unsure of the swing...don't be fooled. Aubrey is actually saying 'cheese' in this picture (because I had the camera pointed at her...<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">LOL</span>). She LOVED the swing and spent more than 20 minutes in it, laughing and enjoying herself. When she wasn't swinging, she was trying out the slide and going around hugging the other little kids. <br />

I know February is the shortest month of the year, but man did this past month seem to drag on and on! I hope that with the passing of Feb 2010, old man winter is done with the major snow fall. The sun is out again today and the big snow piles are starting to melt...yippy! We are expecting a pretty nice weekend. I am itching to get back outside and do some shooting! I have a fun session scheduled for this Sunday, but it's indoors. And then next week I'll be shooting my Janie and Jack sessions - these should be a lot of fun!<br /><br />Tonight is card club night, so I get some mommy time out. I hope the cards are nicer to me than last month (I came in 2nd to last place). Tomorrow will be a busy day of final preparations for next week. And then my session on Sunday morning. In between that stuff, I need to get to the grocery, do laundry, load/edit some family photos and hopefully get my hair cut.<br /><br />If you've read my blog for a while, you'll know that I use to show a lot of candid photos of my family on the blog, but I've gotten away from that. As a photographer, my goal is to take beautiful images for my clients. And while, I want beautiful images of my own girls as well - I haven't been taking a lot of everyday memories of them recently....and as a mom, I want those one's too! So, look for the return of candid (not so perfect, because life isn't always perfect) photo's of the Messmer group here on my family/scrapping blog.<br /><br />Oh and in case you are curious...I'm sad to report that I didn't get picked for the either of the two creative team (CT) calls, I applied to recently. There are so many talented ladies out there!! I enjoyed the process of submitting my applications and will continue to keep my eye out for CT calls that interest me. And of course, I'll continue to spend time scrapping and sharing those layouts on the blog. I recently looked back at some of my first digi scrapping pages and boy have I come a long way with the look of my pages...LOL!Heatherhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14451800338702802062noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5605472881396664526.post-33135323136419042332010-02-28T13:31:00.004-05:002010-09-03T15:53:01.138-04:00A daughter is (scrapbook page)I am enjoying a quiet Sunday afternoon at home, so I had the opportunity to complete another layout for the guest creative team call over at <a href="http://www.mscraps.com">mscraps</a>. There are so many stunning and inspirational layouts entered for this call, I wouldn't want to be one of the judges. <br />

Jayson and I enjoyed a date night yesterday and went to see Avatar in 3D. It was awesome and we both want to see if again. If you haven't seen it, you should go!<br /><br />2. I'm wishing that my lingering cough would just go away already.<br /><br />3. I'm happy that I got to play with some new lighting equipment yesterday, in preparation for some fun sessions I'll have at the Janie and Jack Clothing store in a couple weeks.<br /><br />4. I am so excited about the new live chat feature on my <a href="http://www.messmerphotography.com/?load=flash">website</a> and even more excited that the company I host my site with, released this awesome new feature at no additional cost. <br /><br />5. Happy Anniversary to my sister, Nora and her husband, Steven. They are celebrating 11 years! <br /><br />6. I am hoping that with the turning of the calendar to a new month, the snow will come to an end!<br /><br />7. Hunter bowled her new high game yesterday, with a 77. She had two back to back, pocket 7/10s. She gets so excited to watch the pins fall down...it's too cute!Heatherhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14451800338702802062noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5605472881396664526.post-50614844483742179342010-02-21T14:05:00.002-05:002010-02-21T14:14:32.574-05:007 on SundaySeven random thoughts....<br /><br />1. I am really over all of the snow and am thankful that March is right around the corner, this means that spring isn't that far away...bring it on!<br /><br />2. I'm still going strong with working out 4-5 days a week. I haven't seen the scale move much this week, but am not getting discouraged yet. I know that there will be periods that the scale doesn't move, but I have noticed a change in the way my clothes fill. Losing 12 lbs feels good and I am excited to keep going with the last 10-15 lbs.<br /><br />3. I think the girls are getting cabin fever and can't wait for the weather to change also. Hunter has started acting out this past week. She is so head strong (which she gets from both Jayson and I), that right now it's getting her into trouble when she doesn't listen.<br /><br />4. Aubrey is cutting the last of her baby teeth and I can't wait until they come in. She is starting to talk more. Her newest words are - watch, that and ball. <br /><br />5. I am waiting to hear if I will be selected for a couple digital <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">scrapbooking</span> creative teams I applied to. I'm so excited and hope that I will be chosen for one (if not all three) of them. I'll keep you informed!<br /><br />6. We have bowling tonight. This is the part of the season when it gets harder and harder to go each week. We've been bowling on Sunday since September and I'm ready to have my Sunday nights back...only a couple more months to go!<br /><br />7. I am on the hunt for some good workout music. I want some hip/hop, dance stuff ...something with a good beat that can help to keep me going on the AMT. Leave me a comment if you can recommend something.

I've been considering jumping back into P365 pages...or at least my version of P365. I think I might kick that off again in March.</span><br />

I've tossed my name into the "hat" for a guest CT spot over at <a href="http://www.mscraps.com">mscraps</a>. The designers over there are just amazing and I love how well matched I am with their style. I'm on my way of beating my 2009 scrapping total and it's only February! Scrapping is fun again and mscraps as a lot to do with that. <br />
<br />
This is the layout I submitted for consideration. <br />

MScraps is celebrating it's grand opening. I have been blown away by the amazing talent of the designers in their store. I'm so excited to have found this site right from the beginning.<br /><br />Here is my page for the challenge, I scrapped an older picture of Hunter. She was just over a year old in their picture and remains to be one of my favorites.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://scrapgirls.com.ipbhost.com/uploads/1264370432/gallery_14233_2493_64454.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 600px; height: 600px;" src="http://scrapgirls.com.ipbhost.com/uploads/1264370432/gallery_14233_2493_64454.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><a href="http://www.mscraps.com/gallery/showimage.php?i=794&c=35"><br />Credits</a>Heatherhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14451800338702802062noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5605472881396664526.post-62129198330949449182010-01-31T07:24:00.000-05:002010-02-05T15:50:22.328-05:00Still hereWow, I can't believe my last post on the blog was sometime in September! Sorry for the long absence. This poor blog has been neglected long enough, time to bring it back to life. I started this blog as a way to share Messmer Family news with family and friends and anyone else who would like to read about my little family, time to recommit to that goal.<br /><br />I know that today is the last day of January, but let me talk a little about New Years Resolutions. I'm not a fan of them, so I don't make them. I do however, make goals for myself (OFTEN..haha!) My word/goal for 2010 is Self-love. I want to keep this theme in the front of my mind throughout the year. I tend to put myself to the last spot on my long list and end up paying the price for it (as so does my family). It's true what they say, I've got to take care of me so I will be better able to take care of those around me and those I love.<br /><br />So, some of the ways I'm focusing on Self-love are...<br />*Getting more sleep<br />*Exercise regularly (I'm happy to share that I've lost 12lbs since late December and can fit into smaller jeans again...no stopping me now...haha!)<br />*Making time to enjoy my hobbies (digi scrapping and photographing my children)<br />*Not stressing over the things I can't control<br />*Balance between work and play<br /><br />I've completed some new scrapbook pages recently (click on the image to enlarge it).<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_wQjw4WOkonw/S2V412TYKdI/AAAAAAAABJo/_dk_QAaRIZQ/s1600-h/You+make+me+smile_jan2010_600.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 400px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_wQjw4WOkonw/S2V412TYKdI/AAAAAAAABJo/_dk_QAaRIZQ/s400/You+make+me+smile_jan2010_600.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5432881391997561298" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_wQjw4WOkonw/S2V41gxrVwI/AAAAAAAABJg/kY8vPRmtZXU/s1600-h/Lucky_jan2010_600.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 400px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_wQjw4WOkonw/S2V41gxrVwI/AAAAAAAABJg/kY8vPRmtZXU/s400/Lucky_jan2010_600.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5432881386219067138" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_wQjw4WOkonw/S2V41gLqokI/AAAAAAAABJY/62v2SFP0Yqg/s1600-h/hangingout_jan2010_600.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 400px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_wQjw4WOkonw/S2V41gLqokI/AAAAAAAABJY/62v2SFP0Yqg/s400/hangingout_jan2010_600.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5432881386059637314" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_wQjw4WOkonw/S2V41PLrVbI/AAAAAAAABJQ/ohFIyVI_MPI/s1600-h/Fun_jan2010_600.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 400px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_wQjw4WOkonw/S2V41PLrVbI/AAAAAAAABJQ/ohFIyVI_MPI/s400/Fun_jan2010_600.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5432881381496280498" border="0" /></a><br /><br />Thanks for looking<br />~HeatherHeatherhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14451800338702802062noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5605472881396664526.post-65362889233729508412009-09-27T13:38:00.000-04:002010-02-05T15:50:22.335-05:00Scrapbook Page: Daddy's RemoteIt feels good to complete a scrapbook page. Life has been so busy between work, caring for the girls and having photo sessions (things are going very well with Messmer Photography and I couldn't be happier). But with all of that, I haven't had much time to enjoy one of my favorite hobbies...digi scrapping. I still need to complete my August monthly layout and since September is almost over, I have that one to do as well. I'm still going with the SG 52 (or my version of it) and am excited that at the end of the year, I will have a scrapbook with layouts from the whole year. I've enjoyed looking back at how much the girls have grown.<br /><br />This page is dedicated to Jayson's TV remote control. When Hunter wants to watch TV downstairs, she will ask to watch "daddy's TV". As with most men, the remote in our household is controlled 99.99% of the time by Jayson (love you honey). I'm not sure where he was on the day Aubrey found the remote lying around, but I was right behind her with the camera to capture her enjoying time playing with daddy's remote....LOL!<br /><br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_wQjw4WOkonw/Sr-jE185U2I/AAAAAAAABJE/XkaPGV9AO_E/s1600-h/Daddys+Remote_Sept2009.jpg"><img border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_wQjw4WOkonw/Sr-jE185U2I/AAAAAAAABJE/XkaPGV9AO_E/s400/Daddys+Remote_Sept2009.jpg" /></a><div style="clear:both; text-align:NONE"><a href="http://picasa.google.com/blogger/" target="ext"><img src="http://photos1.blogger.com/pbp.gif" alt="Posted by Picasa" style="border: 0px none ; padding: 0px; background: transparent none repeat scroll 0% 50%; -moz-background-clip: initial; -moz-background-origin: initial; -moz-background-inline-policy: initial;" align="middle" border="0" /></a></div>Heatherhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14451800338702802062noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5605472881396664526.post-18359277452966098202009-09-02T17:51:00.000-04:002010-02-05T15:50:22.342-05:00A gem I captured this morning...and couldn't resist sharing it with you right away.
