Bloom

Is what I named this layout of Becky's senior photo! This is a shadowbox design I recently learned how to make at Miss Art's Papercrafting School.

I used Prima patterned paper, and American Crafts cardstock, Prima made the green flower which I chalked and I made the pink one! Thanks for looking!

New Challenges

are up at The Moments and I tried the one that I thought would be the most challenging first. We were to get our inspiration from an artist named SHAG who is doing works of art for Disney World. These coasters are where I got my inspiration-

and my layout is

Our Bobby wanted to scrapbook a page so this was his first scrapping layout.

Meeting Maggie!

This is the ultrasound of Maggie and the journaling tells of how I felt the day I found out I would be a grandmother for the first time. The journaling reads:

Maggie the first time I saw this photo was the day I learned I would be a grandmother for the first time. I was so excited as I thought I would probably never have grandchildren. I loved you the first moment I saw you. You filled my heart with love. I could not wait to meet you, and get to know your personality. I tried so hard to imagine what you would be like, a boy or a girl. My greatest wish was that you would be a healthy happy baby.

Fanciful Flowers!

Is the name of the class I am in the midst of taking at the Miss Art's Papercrafting School. I won a month's membership by winning Survivor for amonth over at The Moments. I am so enjoying it and here are two flowers I learned to make on that site today!

A Card and a a layout

were the projects finished today! The card needed to have stamped images which I have, I also dry embossed the edges and then inked them.

This second one was for a Christmas in July so I scrapped the photocard I received from my nephew and his family. I also added handstitching for the ribbons of the ornaments.

Thanks for looking!

It has been a very Interesting Day

Here! Bobby and Maggie have been scrapping! Maggie has scrapped before but this is Bobby's first attempt. I have to publish their layouts for the world to enjoy!
This first one is Maggie's- It reads "Bobby was cold from the water so I rapt him up with the toul. I was so happy"




This is Bobby's first attempt! I think he did a fabulous job!

Thanks for sharing these with me!

Wonder......

I did the page for the Heritage Challenge over at Scrapping the Moments. It's picture of my great-grandfather's store that was on Howard Street in downtown Akron in the mid-1920's I believe. The journaling reads:

My Grandmother died in 1982 I inherited her cedar chest and all the photos inside of it! I did not know who most of them were. One day I was fortunate enough to get my Mother and Great Aunt-My Grandmother’s older sister, together and they identified as many of the photos as they could. Two generations and very helpful. This photo was included in the collection. It is a picture of my Great-Grandfather’s store on one of the main streets in downtown Akron. This photo was probably taken around the mid-1920‘s. I have no idea who the ladies in the store are.
We were friends with another lady who lived in Akron, and was born in 1899. She worked for the General Tire Company. She told me how everyone would walk to downtown Akron to Howard Street to do their special shopping on Saturday’s. She told us that was where you would find the special treasures-like oranges and other fresh fruits. Also candies and products they normally could not get elsewhere.
It makes me wonder did she go to this store? My Great-Grandfather’s store? Did he wait on her? Did she talk to him? How many people found their special treasures here. Special treasures on hard wood floors-baskets of fruit, cans of goodies-maybe smoked fish-Ahhhhhh fish from the ocean in Akron Ohio! What treasures were tucked safely behind the glass in the cases? Watches? Hair ribbons? A jeweled comb for your hair? Special lace for a young girl’s wedding gown? I could go on and on. I wonder……

Playtime

The Three Tenors

is what I titled this fun layout I did for the Scraplift challenge at Scrapping the Moments last week. Three baby robins in our tree! What fun it was to watch these three babies! They left the nest two days later and never returned. Have a good life little robins! I told Becky the one in the middle is her friend Steve Brockway who does sing tenor in musicals around the country. Thanks for Looking!

My new garden solar lights!

These are photos I took of one of my new solar lights in my flower beds that Bob got me! This is my most favorite. I used a natural light setting to get these photos. I did the layout for the Friday Fast Trak at SCRAPPING THE MOMENTS.

Thanks for looking!

The Simple Life

is the title I gave this layout I did for the Color Challenge this month at Scrapping the Moments. The quote reads: to be elated over a birds nest or wildflower in spring-these are the rewards of a simple life.-John Burroughs. This is a family of robins in the tree in my backyard. Thanks for looking!

for my double page layout Challenge at Scrapping the Moments was posted the first of the month. These are some of my backyard visitors I have photographed this spring!
