My Sister's Sealing

My sister, Heather and her husband Brian were sealed in October. I had the opportunity to accompany her through the temple and it was a beautiful experience. I'm so proud of her and the choices she's made in her life that have brought her full circle to be in this position to be sealed to her husband for time and all eternity.

Jackson turns 11?

So I'm not sure when he got to be so big but Jackson turned 11 while we were in Mesa for my sister's sealing. We were able to celebrate with my family and get his bike that Scott found on Craigslist for such a good deal. It's a super light racing bike. I think he likes it!

Potty Training

Well, after Maddox was born I didn't really want two babies in diapers. Even though Gracie had barely turned 2 I decided to try. After a little spell of running around naked having a accidents, she had herself potty trained within a day. It was wonderful and we haven't looked back. She loves her big girl panties and thinks she is "ALL THAT".

The beginning of Smiles

Maddox took his time learning to smile but now that he knows how he rarely stops.

First Day Home

Oh, what a blessing to have this sweet little angel in our home. He's just perfect in every way.

Card Design

I made my Christmas Card this year and after showing a few people and getting feedback they all asked if I could make theirs. So I decided, why not. I am not limited to Christmas Cards. As you see I've done a few baby announcements and a birthday invitation. I could also do wedding invitations. If you're interested, just email me with your picture(s) and an idea of what you'd like it to say and maybe an idea of your style. I'll do an option or two and email back to you. You get it printed wherever you'd like just like you would a standard photo although if you use Walgreens or Walmart I would suggest doing send out and not one-hour. One-hour prints very dark and doesn't stay true to color. I'm charging $15 for a 4x6. I can do any size you'd like but there is an additional $3 charge for other sizes. It's best to have your envelopes and check into your printing options before we decide on what size. Any questions just email me at scottshelley@cableone.net. Thanks! Below you'll find a slideshow of some of my samples. Let me know if you like one of these. Your card will be original but could be similar to someone else's or to one of my samples.
