Saving for a Rainy Day

 

A story I wanted to document for my grandson when he is forty!

 

The journaling reads:

You went to school one day this week with a loose tooth.
You pulled it while you were there and they gave you a
little yellow treasure chest to keep it in so you would
not lose it. You were excited to show it to me when
you got off the bus. That night when your dad went
to tuck you in he handed you your tooth to tuck
under your pillow. You told him you did not want
to put it under your pillow for the tooth fairy! 
You said you wanted to save for a time when
you needed it. I do not think I have ever
heard of anyone saying this before. You
are always thinking about things before
you do them but this one surprised
everyone!                                  October 11, 2014

KENT STATE UNIVERSITY AIR SHOW

We went to the Air Show at KSU Airport . The new blimp was there. They christened it the Wingfoot One. Wingfoot Lake is where the hanger is where they build blimps.  They had flight simulators there where you could fly a plane on a computer. They also had Army planes you go in and see where the soldiers would sit to wait to parachute out. Maggie was shown how the women during the war worked in plants and made the planes. She also heard about Rosie the Riveter.  We then went outdoors and watched planes taxi down the runway and then take off. It was a fun time for all.

SUCCESS

When I got my bike I had to learn how to ride it let alone ride a four mile trip! August 18 I made it the four miles. This photo was taken when I made the first two miles.

The journaling reads:

When I got my bike I had to learn to ride all over as I had never before used
hand brakes  and gears. Also my body is so out of shape that riding any
distance was really challenging my body.  We have only rode the bike trail
a couple of times but this time I made the two miles to Boston Mills Road,
and the two miles back.  Hipp hipp hooray!!!!

DESTRUCTION

Is was I saw when we hiked this trail at Hampton Hills Metro Park.  All this from the bad storms we had last Spring here-All these trees were damaged and had to be destroyed and the Adam Trail had to be closed. The trail we were hiking ran along side a lot of the Adam Trail so we saw all the damage.

 

I did this for my Week One class  of Title Time over at Creative Passions Classes with Jana Morton.  Products used were  Textured Edges by Jana Morton and Outdoor Adventures  by Erica Zwart. Thanks for stopping!

Fall Decomesh Wreath

My Grandson

When I saw this photo I knew, when I found this poem I knew!  They were meant to be together!

The poem reads:
Let me tell you about my grandson.
'Do you have all day'?
For once I get started,
there's so much I have to say!
If asked to describe him,
well, it's very easy to do.
For he's the kind of boy,
that endears himself to you!
He's warm, gentle and verykind,
with a wonderful wit and a verykeen mind!
A heart that's made out of gold,
always polite and never bold.
He can charm the birds right out ofthe trees
and possesses so many,fine qualities!
To sum it up, I'd have to say,
he's a wonderful boy in every way!

The poem is by Audrey Heller and I altered it slightly.

Back to School 2014-2015

Celebrating the grands first day of school for this year! Maggie is in fifth grade-already! Bobby is starting third. Hope they have a wonderful year.

I used the poster edge filter on the background photos for a sketchy look to them.  Products used are by : Katie Pertiet, Lynne Grieveson, Jana Morton, Kim Jensen, and Patti Knox . Thanks for looking!

Behold the Beauty

 

The page is about a quiet serene place on property we own in SE Ohio.  I loved the way the light was peeking through the leaves and branches of the trees.  My favorite part of the page is where I took two of the trees in the photo and transferred them to Black & White and then used the smudge stick filter and reduced the opacity to get the look of added texture to the page. It also added to and worked with the colors Anna had used in her kit.  My favorite items in the kit were the transfers and brushes. I enjoy using those items to add to the back ground papers  where I want them put.  This page was also done for this month’s Digital U at Creative Passions.  Anna Aspnes was the guest.  Digital U is a free class at Creative Passions Classes and  is done once a month at no charge.  Layouts and techniques are discussed and there  is a chat line where all participants get to chat with the speakers and one another.

Products used were:

Myrtle Beach S.C.

When my 10 year old grand-daughter came home from vacation she let me know that she wanted to make a multi-media memory board like I did three years ago.  I helped her with supplying the know how, and products but she did her own design, painting, choosing the elements and photos and how the title work. I am so proud of her and all the work she did on this project. We have been working on the days she is here for the past week.

                                     

Good job Maggie! Thanks for looking!

Template Challenge at Passion2Pixels

Another layout called “Best Day Ever” but done digital and different journaling!

Products by Jana Morton, Erica Zwart, Amber Shaw and Katie Pertiet.

The Best Day Ever

is what Maggie was thinking last Wednesday She had mentioned numerous times how she would like to go horseback riding. So for her birthday I gave her a coupon that I would take her horseback riding. We had to wait for the weather to clear and the day finally got here. A friend of ours works at a stable and has horses of her own so she took care of Maggie. That is mainly what the journaling says.


She got to get on two horses as there was another person booked for the first one.  Thanks for looking!
Papers were by MME, Sketch by Doris Sanders and Super sketches. I made the flowers from felt.

Beaver Marsh at the Cuyahoga Valley National Park

I have done Spring layouts of the marsh before where all you see is cattails and water. We walked there Thursday and we saw lily pads, and herons . We  saw a muskrat also but he got under the water before I could catch his photo.

I thought I would have some fun and post the other layout I did of the Beaver Marsh.

 

The photo in the large layout where the geese are landing is the same place as the upper right photo in the new layout.  Thanks for looking!

Products used: Anita Richards Brand New Day Collection,  Jana Morton’s Lilacs in Bloom Collection, and Katie Pertiet’s On the edge Flourishes
